  1. looking forward to seeing some pics
  2. I've got enough left for one headlight, so I'll take a photo tomorrow to show the effect on the headlight. I really like the look, so a tad annoyed I ruined the sheet. I took a pic a while back when I was trying to straighten it...but I'll get the other pic up tomorrow.
  3. I got two rolls of the film, but both rolls were damaged about 3/4 way down so only had one attempt =/ and i struggled to fit it so gave up 😞 I still want it done, but will go to a professional with decent tint and not the cheapest from China ðŸ˜
  4. When I run out of quick detail sprays I use it for a quick shine at shows and when I'm feeling bad about not cleaning the car for a week
  5. I'll grab the popcorn 😆
  6. Thanks, it's such an easy thing to do and I love how I can peel it off and start again whenever it gets too chipped/worn

  10. Great news! Sailed through the MOT, so going to fit the tint this week
  11. So Gizmo just passed her MOT with the following advisories: - Chip in windscreen (no rush to replace this) - Anti-roll bar linkage has slight play (I guess it's time to upgrade them any suggestion?) - Valve stem on both front tyres is slightly damaged (Refusing to replace the tyre until I've had everything I can out of them) Most importantly, the garage loved the louvre and even parked it next door on the owners drive so it was kept safe until I collected it
  12. Thanks! Just gotta catch up and compete with your bay now!
  13. Looks good - I thought it'd really impair your rear view! Hmmm to get or not to get... :ninja: Haha do it! =p
  14. I blame all you guys for the Zeditus! Every meet/show I go to I end up coming home with new ideas!
  15. We originally tried fitting it with 3M tape, but when Alex's was being fitted mine was in the sun and one side decided to pop up So in the end we decided to go for tigerseal, which worked perfectly! Heres a pic of the view from inside: I took this a while ago and have added small rubber strips under a few of the blades because they would rattle against the glass if I ever went 80mph+
  16. I thought it was about time for me to start a log of everything I've done and plan to do I'm expecting my ideas to constantly change, so I have no idea how it's going to look in the end! I've always wanted a 350z, but I could never justify buying one =/ But I went to see one that was for sale a year ago, just to get out the house, and I instantly knew I needed one! So the next day I went to view my one and bought it straight away Here's a pic the day I picked it up: Its a 2006 350Z GT. Firstly, I've always been obsessed with Gremlins and Gizmo has been my username for 10+ years, so this lil guy is where I got my name. My first change was to replace the R/C aerial, with something that looks miles better! Picked it up from Redline Styling. My second mod was to add the carbon bonnet struts. They've actually ended up being really useful for when doing bits under the bonnet! The next step was obviously to remove the annoying arch gap, so along came the 20/25mm TORQEN S spacers! (Sorry for the state of my wheels! Need to get them off one day soon and get them sparkling!) Although the spacers removed a lot of the arch gap, I still wanted to shrink it a bit more. Which is why I went for the Tein S-Tech springs I've fitted the Bridge style gear gaiter from Team Tarmac, a purple gear knob from Kode, a D1 Spec Throttle Controller from TORQEN and a Brodit phone holder for until I get a new stereo. I've replaced the OEM wheel nuts with some pretty blue ones from Tarmac Sportz and I got a cheap deal on Z centre caps from eBay. I couldn't decide whether I was going to stick with the twin exit exhaust or swap to a single, but in the end I couldn't say no to the ISR Performance Single Exit Exhaust from Tarmac Sportz. I've currently done a bumper tuck with cable ties, but once I have some spare time I'll be replacing these with screws to remove the centre sag. I need to redo the plastidipping, but I love the lower section being black. The bumper has a few scuffs, so in the next year it'll be replaced with something special. I've had my private plate for a few years now, so couldn't wait to put in on the Z! Here is the current state of my engine bay: I've started replacing the bolts with the purple washers and fitted a JWT popcharger (both of which came from eBay). The Rare JDM harness cover came from TORQEN and I've also recently fitted a Mishimoto Rockstar Compact Oil Catch Can. The next modification, which I had to save for last as I think it's totally changed the look of my car, is the Team Tarmac Project Louvre Z! I was lucky enough to be the first to get it fitted and I couldn't thank Matt enough for the time/effort he put into them! Also for spending all day getting the fit to be perfect! I also currently have a graveyard of Z parts in my flat waiting for me to fit them! My current to do list is: - Pearlescent headlight tint - Satin Black Handles - Smoothed/Painted Rear Strut Cover - Painted Front Strut Cover - MTEC Grooved and Dimpled Brake Disks
  17. I'm changing my disks and pads tomorrow...hopefully I won't have the same problem 😬
  18. I recently had a phone interview with a company who develop 3D software for simulations. I noticed that they use C++ for a lot of the programming and mentioned that I'd had a little experience with it...bad move! I've now got a face-to-face interview on Tuesday where they're going to give me a 5min test on the language =| Can anyone recommend a site/book where I can give myself a crash course on the basic understanding of the language? It doesn't have to be detailed, they just want to know that I half understand what is going on =) Thank you! (on the plus side, the director has the same surname as me so that obviously means it's meant to be...)
  19. Can't work out why they're so proud of it!
