Haha i guess i got lucky

although i fell off my moped 7 times before i had my car

Dan it's your Zed and how you drive it is down to you ~ won't be getting a lecture about how you drive from me. Been there & crashed a few cars myself.

As GM said everyone crashes it's just part of life, could have been a whole lot worse.

500 for them is fantastic, if i had money i would take them.

Yeah i guess so, didn't think it would ever happen to me though! i think that was probably my downfall ;P

i did see them, i agree bargain price and really nice

 

Hope that helps some what.

Thats ideal thanks mate i didn't look in member or professional traders haha

You could get a whole new set of wheel's and tyres for around 900 instead of one normal rim

 

It will suck the now until it's back on the road, but it will happen

Exactly, full set of Rays with tyres is about £500 if im not mistaken,

Yep it does suck a**, i've been keeping it quiet at work at the moment, luckily i start my new job in a couple weeks so won't have to deal with the embarrassment for long

Have you looked in the for sale sections on here?

I'll have a better look now, i did have a bit of a peak but not for long, cheers man

I saw that man that's unreal, 800 odd for a wheel, 1 wheel! KyleR is selling facelift headlights at like 700 for the pair, http://www.350z-uk.c...ear-out-part-1/

I know what i would be doing. Hope you get everything sorted mate and not scrapped.

Ridiculous aint it, they're not even Rays haha, i'm still pretty confident i can get the work done and parts for less than £2k, i mean, that guy has said something about spraying the L/F Wing, which doesn't even have a scratch on it?

I spoke to Gudzy and he's got the drivers side headlight so hopefully get the ball rolling on getting parts tomorrow.

She won't be scrapped don't you worry about that!

Haha i know man, i was having a cuppa t when he rang me, nearly fell off my chair!

No airbags went off or anything, have a look at the list of parts, thats £3k before VAT, wheel and headlight is coming up to £2k!

Nah don't worry im not quite that bad a driver, just been pretty quiet on here, i only really started thinking about doing bits to it recently,

just to confirm, here's my intro thread http://www.350z-uk.c...-be-350z-owner/

It was a shitty mistake tbh, too fast into roundabout, had to swerve round back of other person who left it a bit late to go, hit and went up curb then skidded into side of different car.

Please no lectures about my driving though, i've learnt the hard way aha

Not sure they won't tell me the payout till i give them the go ahead to put her down.

Just trying to save as i really don't think its anywhere near £5k to repair, will see what this other body shop say, also i don't really want a write off on my insurance haha

And i doubt the payout will be enough to get another Z anytime soon

Only 22 and not sure how this will affect my premium

Nah had it since January, still not a long time, luckily i protected my 6 years no claims!

Im pretty damn depressed at the moment haha

Just an update

Genuine Nissan parts only he said is all he can use.

Well i can definately say i wont be using their estimate.

£900+vat for a standard oem alloy (not rays)

Stinking Honda's

Its more i didnt think my Sunset with Black Trim and Silver alloys would work tbh, its quite subtle on yours i would say

Not keen on the orange wheels tbh man,

Something like this just Sunset not Red would be nice,

Id say thats kinda Anthracite yeah?

only girls match colours

That's got me beat i think haha!

Hmmm definately seems to be a negative vibe on the silver trim idea haha

Black trim i do like but didn't think it would match silver alloys very well? I guess i could say im matching the tyres...

I'll add the the girlfriend agrees with all you guys about silver being tacky...

Would gun-metal be better?

It's just cos i really am not a fan of black alloys, and if i had silver alloys and black skirts/lip etc it's gonna look even worse i reckon?

On the Nismo V2 is the lip removable??

Dan

A little bit off topic, but its a sad day when my insurer says that i have to take my car to a Honda Bodyshop to be repaired as they are the only place they approve of.

A Honda Bodyshop!!

Ah but i like the contrast of silver on the orange, like the standard door handles.

not keen on black alloys tbh and it would all need to match haha, but the black/carbon lip and skirts does look nice

Then again silver maay look too tacky even for me

Haha i'll give you credit for trying although my Paint skills are probably about the same level...

Does change the look quite a bit though haha

Hi guys,

Don't suppose someone could do me a favour of a little bit of photoshopping? I dont have and never used it before...

Thinking of going Nismo V2

Basically change:

Lip, canards, alloys, side skirts and the thick bars front grille to: Silver

Just testing to see how it would look

Cheers

Dan

Hi sorry its for a UK zed, didn't realise there would be a difference in the headlights.

I put drivers side in title but guess i forgot in the topic haha, i'll edit it now

But anyways yeah drivers side i am in need of, took a bit of a hit to my drivers side and gonna see if i can source parts cheaper than insurance company.

Dan

Hi,

In need of quite a few parts, attached a list,

The price on the parts list is what i was quoted for genuine Nissan parts (not including tax), extortionate i would say

For a UK 05 Zed.

Dan

Yeah i mean i aint going for anywhere near 400bhp, with my mods i doubt i'll get over 300bhp, when you say standard brakes you mean the base or the brembos?

I expect mine will only ever get fast street use though as theres no tracks within like 200 miles of Cornwall.

But i get what Ekona is saying, i will deffo do pads and discs but not sure about too much on the suspension
