  1. I was on the way from bonnie Scotland to Bournemouth, and some friendly 370z owner let me know that the undertray on my Lexus was dragging on the ground. Car looked fantastic btw
  2. Unfortunately no, the Christmas shopping hit me pretty hard haha, I'm just about to organise getting it into paint though. Shouldn't be too long now.
  3. Hi mate, if you fancy a set of the Vossen CVTs let me know. I know a guy local here with his own brand of wheels who uses the same factory as Vossen and can (and has) ordered up some CVTs.
  4. Ah right, thats a handy wee thing to know about. I am toying with the idea of installing LED strips in my house and I wanted a remote dimmer without having to point it like a TV remote (which most are). Cheers! Dan
  5. Well if you're feeling brave and police aren't too picky round your way you could fit a US import plate, which allows slightly smaller lettering and would look similar to the plate on the supercar below:
  6. Very nice work, I will be doing mine after Christmas. I thought those were the retrofit source rings to start with, but I see you are able to dim them? Are you using a controller for that or is it a function of the rings? Cheers, Dan
  7. Hi all, I have for sale my OEM Nissan short front plate holder. This is the holder that US cars use, so it fits straight into the standard holes. There are no exposed holes if you go from a full UK sized holder to this one. and the fit is 100% spot on. I imported this part from the states and part was £60 and the shipping/tax £30 (typical) SOLD!!!! Hopefully my plate in the pics is enough but I will take another tonight with my username. In action Cheers Dan
  8. Haha I had the same thought with the BMW picture... Looks great and blue on anthracite wheels is such an awesome combo!
  9. Oh I see its like that Nice knob tho What DRLs are you running?
  10. I know its not really about the raw numbers but what power figures did you get?
  11. Yeah, the red bits actually come from Nissan red but I will be wrapping them black or carbon (not a fan of fake carbon though). It should give it a more stealthy look.
  12. Right I've had a change of heart, I've ordered a set of these to see how close a fit they are, they won't fill the whole gap but I was thinking about some mesh for the leftover space.
  13. Hi and welcome from a fellow Aberdonian! I know of least 10-15 that are members on here that frequent the forums have a look in the North of Scotland regional section. I'm sure there will be a meet at the beginning of next year if you are keen! Cheers Dan
  14. What condition is the wheel in? Has the leather gone shiney or is it still matte? And how hard are these to fit? Cheers, Dan
  15. I'm actually not a huge fan of the Nismo as a car, but I think thats because it sits too high and I don't like the wheels. I think this bumper on a lowered car with the right wheels will look good, here's hoping anyway The LEDs are £600 per side. So to save myself £1200 I'm going to fab up some Porsche style ones myself. We'll see how it goes haha, I've done custom headlight work before so this should be easy enough I'm hoping to achieve the solid bar of light look, and keep it looking as classy as possible. Cheers, Dan
  16. Well tomorrow night I'll be able to check if the US plate holder fits..... because this sucker arrived... It will probably suit the car better than the lounge, theres also about £70-£80 worth of extra crap you have to buy, tow eye cover, grills, finishers, fender extenders etc. But progress has been made
  17. How'd the reg look? I had a big Jeep Compass 2.2l CRD. Slightly different to the Zed. Lol Reg looks awesome! If you are interested, I don't think my US size plate holder will fit the Nismo Bumper, so if you were interested it would save you the hassle of importing one, then all you need is a cut down front plate. Its the classy way to run a smaller front plate Yeah, I am getting it picked up today so I'll be measuring up various bits and bobs and then getting it off to the paint guy
  18. Ah...mine is needing new brakes too, I've got a warped disc on the front. The private reg was on when I saw it as was the moustache haha. What did you drive before the 370?
  19. Nissan paid for everything couldn't be happier Bumper has also arrived a week early...didn't fit in my Lexus tho so I'll need to pick it up another day While I was there I noticed your car was there Kev!
  20. Well as soon as I get it back I'll be pulling the fuse
  21. Just spoke to someone from Nissan UK and they are paying for everything. He didn't tell me whether that was as a good will gesture or because of the service bulletin recall but I wasn't about to question it. I'm a happy man, and I have to say it is the kind of thing that builds confidence in a brand, car is out of warranty, not in the VIN range for recall, but fixed nonetheless.
