Thanks guys, having attended the Cosford meet and seen so many zeds with spacers its clear the car looks better, but also now thinking my rims look pants anyway so may change them first.

never tried this before so hopefully it will work.

Ian and everyone,

Will upload my pics on here shortly.

How did paintballing go? Any good war stories or injuries to report?

I agree, a good day and a good first meet, thaks everone for making me feel welcome.

Thanks again for putting it together Ian. Looking forward to next meet

My son was buzzing all day.

I will upload pics later.

Cheers guys,

It's been too many years since I worked on my own car,

I thought it looked simple but just thought it worth a check.

Cougar, do you ever sleep? ( really need to know your name!)

Many thanks for the pics, are these stock items and are they as easy as they appear to fit? For someone with limited tools and no good place to work.

Are there any handling improvements ( or disadvantages) with fitting spacers or are they fitted purely for the cosmetic benefit and from what I've read would I be right in limiting them to 20mm to avoid rubbing the arches.

This pesky zeditis is going to drain my bank account over the coming few months i just know it, it starts small and creeps up all innocent like.

4re, ref your 13:45 I thought it was a prerequisite that all on here were sectioned for zeditis therefore your claim for immunity would require all slates to be wiped clean.

Ian, I think I had zeditis before I had my zed, already booked to have it wrapped, windows tinted and wheels painted, getting your boot divider hopefully this weekend, who knows where it will end? Possibly the divorce courts?!

Hornzee, surely thats proof you shouldn't take the missus out in the zed unless she is also suffering from zeditis.

I also only seem to see other zeds when i'm working, and not in the zed, hopefully that will change this Sat at Cosford.

Like the idea of a league table!!

That makes sense...kind of !!

You would of thought warning points would be public so everyone can get an idea of users behaviour.

Hi all,

After all of my posts i have noticed below no of posts i have another caption "0 warning points" I have not noticed this on any other poster, new or otherwise. Just wondered what its for and why it only seems to apply to me.

Hello and welcome, where are you from?

Dont bust a gut but if you can that would be great.

Hi Ian,

What are the chances you have one of these spare and could bring it along to Cosford?

Andy, when and where would you like to meet, I live in hilton just off A50 and would be happy to convoy

Welcome from a fellow newbie,

I'm just South of Derby

If you do get over to Cosford i'll catch up with you there otherwise sure to see you around.

G.i.ginge, how did you get that low, i have 72% protected ncb with esure and am paying nearly £400 no points and £250 xs. Still thought that was good til I read your post.

I have three seperate cars insured and two years ago was daft enough to claim for a minor bump.

If you are honest you need to advise insurers about all claims and yes it will affect your ncb across all policies.

All my policies have 70%+ protected ncb and all policies withheld any additional ncb for that year.

You dont actually lose any ncb in this example but if you dont have protected ncb you will lose some or all of it your policy should tell you how much ncb you lose for each claim if not protected.

Hi, can you add me too, ian ipm'd earlier about cosford meet so hopefully you have my details.

Hi,

Been reading a few of these posts since buying my zed and joining the forum.

You asked for suggestions for meets etc.

It strikes me if enough owners were interested we could get together for a track day, maybe agree a discount if sufficient numbers and potentially a good meeting place even for those not interested in the track.

Thanks for the opinions, been over to "pwpro" in Mansfield today they appear to have a good set up, his advice was they will flatten and primer affected areas then wrap. Quite like bronze grey from hexis they offer ten year guarantee and have quoted £1250 +vat and £250 to paint wheels black. Seen a Canadian 370Z online already done in this colour and am leaning heavily to this.

Thanks guys, I was thinking of changing colour to brownish orange, the nissan burnt orange is a bit to orange for my taste but I saw a nice Aston Martin Vanquish the other day that looked quite stunning.

Coldel, Interesting you say it wont match up to existing paint, do you mean not as shiny or not as hard wearing?

Hi all,

I know ultimately it's my choice but any thoughts welcome...

I have a2006 silver 350z with more stone chips than i've had hot dinners, knowing silver is hard to match and having been seriously impressed by the posts on wrapping i'm torn between paint and wrap.

How well does wrap stand up to stone chips etc?

Do i still need to have stone chips addressed to stop dips showing through

Should i just leave alone and have bonnet and bumper resprayed

Neither option will be d.i.y. so any recommendations for firms to do the work in the Derby area would also be appreciated.
