  1. @mattbrom if you don't mind what buffer/products did you use and the process cheers.

     

    I think I used normal t cut then auto glym (the special one for dark colours) both with buffer and remember to use water when using buffer as you don't want to burn the paint. Then I used dodo juice pre wax then a normal carnauba wax :) hope this helps

  2. Looks great love those wheels.

     

    Just bought myself a black 350 as well but my paintwork isn't as nice as yours and has loads of swirls :( has it been resprayed?

     

    No I just got a buffer wheel on it and it got most of the swirls out but they're a bugga being black and keeping clean! :)

    Yeah they're a bugga to remove swirls I just got a machine buffer on mine and came up mint! But the problem with black is it get dirty very quickly!

     

    Very nice! :) Those wheels look so much better, love the concave of them. The disks look pretty sweet too being black

     

    Cheers Man! The black coating has come off now after bedding them :)

  4. Got my wheels fitted today! :D absolutely love the look of these! They fill the arches lovely! b21b1c37d1b879f906a0e28018ba62d9.jpg3baf8bd24be36a0b9d6d66c43f69a5c3.jpg3b57d85e4a9a39a7bb23f773463d6c7d.jpg

     

    So then fitted my new discs which was the easiest thing I've ever done on these! Brembos ftw!

  5. Got my new discs today from MTEC :thumbs: they came with a package deal of £135 off MTEC's eBay store for the discs and mintex pads. I don't know if the black some sort of coating?

     

    Now I was planning on running grooved discs with EBC yellow stuff pads but I thought for the price why not try the mintex! :) I was surprised how big these things are!

    Then in preparation of my new rims I have ordered 275/40/18 tyres and I've just picked up some Bridgestone potenza 255/40/18 and it's surprising how big these are compared to the original size!

    I hope they fit with the XXR's. I know the tyres will fit on the rim because that's 9.75 but I just hope I don't get rubbing from the tyres. Has anyone put these sizes on their car? Any advice?

  6. Not been updated in a while because I've been quite busy :) so my mate is selling me his xxr's the ones which I pictured on this thread a couple of posts back! Woohoo! Going to go for either 265/35/18 or 275/35/18 on rear and 245/35/18 or 255/35/18 on front :)

     

    So I parked my car up for a meeting outside an engineering place and one of the employees come running saying my window has been smashed! The t**ts lobbed a rock through my passenger side window!! I was raging at this point so I got on the phone to police and reported it all the usual stuff then contacted admiral for my glass cover and they sent out autoglass who were brilliant! Got me a genuine nissan window in no problems :D only £75 excess and doesn't effect my no claims :)

     

    Anyway! I have bought some bits :)

    I've got a zunsport grille from tarmac!

    Some extended wheel nuts for my XXR's :D

    The grille fitted! Easiest mod I've ever done took literally 20 minutes! :D

    I should have the wheels next week as my mate is getting his new wheels sprayed up before he sells me the current ones he's got on his Evo :)

    Can't wait to be hit with a fat tyre bill! :thumbs:

  7. Has anyone got a HR Bonnet they might want to sell? :) preferably in black but doesn't matter :) I can trade you my bonnet in along with a deal or not doesn't matter too much.

    I've PM'd zmanalex already.

     

  8. So I seem to be on a rampage buying loads of stuff for the zed while I'm on holiday in Spain :p

    Now I love the rarejdm engine wire harness cover but I can't justify spending £100+ on what seems to be bent aluminium.

    So has anyone attempted to make their own?

    I might give it a go :thumbs:

  9. I'm thinking about getting a zunsport grille and I'm wondering if I should get the polished grille or the black one.

    I have a black zed but I'm thinking maybe the polished grille would look good? Has anyone got pictures on their black zed with the polished grille? I've seen some with black grille so I have done a search...

     

    Much appreciated if you share :)

  10. Looking for a navigation cubby I've searched for some in the states but struggling over here so just wondering if anyone has one lying around or know where in the UK to get one. If not I'll have to bite the bullet and get one from the states
