Unfortunately, I am back to work tomorrow after over 3 weeks off work. It will slow down my progress quite alot. My plans for next weekend: Install bumper fasteners Give the car a good clean Paint the front lip and tidy up the front bumper Install all the goodies I buy over the week.

A quick picture outside Costa before I went to the Ace cafe meet.

After the paint dried, I am pretty happy with my first attempt at plasti dipping. Bargain at £20 for 4 wheels.

Youtube it

Welcome to the forum. I'm in Colchester

I have used https://www.myshowplates.com/ twice now. Very quick delivery, quailty plates and because they are technically showplates. They will do them however you like. The online plate maker is simple and easy to use. I have never had an issue with my plates. Even with illegal spacings and fonts. Cheapest I have found aswell. I think I paid £18 for a complete custom set delivered. Obviously the more you add the more it costs

Ings front lip. There is a group buy on at the moment with tarmacsportz

Just me then!

Once again, thanks alot!

You sir, are a legend. I will be there!

Does anybody know the size of bung/grommet needed to dewiper the 350z? Preferably, without needing to use silcone sealer!

Finally, whilst saving for a set of new alloys, I thought I would try few different colour on my current Rays. Because I want to try a few different colour options, I bought a plasti dip aerosol from Halfrauds for a tenner. The picture was straight after the first coat. Once it dried, there were no marks or running. It was very simple to do. It also dried with matt finish which I think looks great. I plan to run all black or few months to see how the plasti dip holds up before trying new colours. Maybe Matt lime green, Red, Highlighter yellow? The paint looks terrible in the picture, but i'll take a picture once its fully set in the morning.

Oops, they were a bit extra than what I thought, but they are UK based and a quality product. I received ttem the next day. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230340228158

The other side

Next, I installed my side diffusers, bought from Tarmac spotz. They were a great fit, came with detail instructions and didn't take long too fit. The photo isn't great. I'll have to take some proper pics when I get chance.

Today, I started with a simple but effective mod. I swapped the number plate bulbs for white LEDs. They look much better for about £2.50 off ebay. It was too light to take a picture of what light they produce unfortunately.

Is there anybody going to the Ace meet on Saturday that is setting off from East Anglia? I am setting off from Colchester at about 0845.

Bump

Try toothpaste and a toothbrush method. It can be found on youtube. Or someone can suggest a restoration kit

I have just bought a set of apex springs and put them on a few weeks ago. They were a drop of 30mm. So teins should leave you with plenty of room

Its got to be pearlescent paint?

I bought my Zed less than a month before my first baby was due. I just bought a cheap run around as a family car

Sorry for the photos. I can't rotate them on my tablet Finally fitted the bumper again, along with twin canards. Stupidly went over the top with tiger seal. Oops, oh well leason learnt. I bought some quick release bumper fasteners, but forgot about them. By the time i realised, I had put the bumper back on. They will just have to wait until i next take the bumper off. Tomorrow's plan is to install my side diffusers and take all the wheels off ready to paint.

I had a test fit of the nismo style front bumper before it gets sprayed. As i was fitting it, I decided not to get it sprayed before going on the car. I decided that I am going to get the whole car sprayed in a month or two. I will just have to look silly for a few months.
