  1. Where I park is surrounded by trees. I wouldn't blame you for thinking my car was supposed to be white and brown...
  2. Aaaaand sanded again. Much smoother now. No ridges and plenty of feathering. Not sure if it needs a bit more taken off or whether the extra is helping to maintain the curve of the bumper. Will get another sand before priming anyway, so can deal with it then. Got a headache now though, not sure if it's from heat exhaustion in this 30°C weather or inhaling enough fibreglass dust to kill a horse, but it's nothing an ice cold beer can't fix either way.

  4. I had the same mindset, but have had no issues with the Torqen ones. They've held up to some seriously spirited driving...
  5. Really good sand and another layer of filler. Also found a stone chip, so thought I'd tackle that while I'm at it. Hopefully I won't get carried away and start trying to sort all the little stone chips / scratches and end up repainting the entire car...
  6. Did say Try any of those solutions linked, might help a bit?
  7. Good shout actually!! Must find a gromet to fit. Thank you. 22 and 24 from this kit will do the spray nozzle and wiper arm holes
  8. Can't bring myself to like these. The lines are just too hard and don't seem to fit with the Z. Prefer these, but then you've got the issue of needing fogs...
  9. Guessing they called your bank and asked them to verify. Would be too easy to just Photoshop yourself a millionaire Right ballache for those of us with our moneys split between multiple accounts though.
  10. Out of curiosity, how do you do this? Printscreen??
  11. It did until I found it was fake. Then just disappointment and deceit
  12. No first hand experience, but when asking about employment / salary, isn't there usually a question along the lines of "do you expect any changes to this in the near future".
  13. I see what you mean. Looks like that 2nd screw isn't obvious unless you are at eye level with the side steps though, otherwise you'll never see it. He also used self tappers rather than bolting up behind the skirt or using Sikaflex, which would be invisible. I think the Tarmac ones are just too blocky and looks more like a lip than a splitter. It's the same thing that puts me off most front lips for the Z. They stick up and overlap the bumper and just look weird and stuck on (imo).
  14. And sanded. Needs another layer to sort out a few little niggles still. Doesn't need to be perfect since I'm not ready for the next stage yet and will be giving it another once over before I paint, but i was just sick of having holes in my bumper.
  15. Been a while, but finally doing stuff again. Unfortunately it's not louvres, but they are still in the pipeline and just need priming / painting. Spare tranny mount and polyurethane is all ready for a DIY tranny mount, just need to drill the mount out and rig something up to keep everything in place while the PU sets. As for stuff done today.... Bumper off: Surface keyed: Fibreglass filler on and sanded: Plastic Flexi Filler on and waiting to set:
  16. So you vinyl wrapped then just spray painted the vinyl in colour matched paint?
  17. The back edge at the tallest point (far right on above pic) is what bolts onto the OEM skirt Which is all hidden up behind the skirt? The only visible bit is flat?
  18. Problem is that they don't exist.... I'm essentially on holiday for the next 4 months, so I have all the time in the world. I'd rather "waste" my time making things and doing what I enjoy than find some crappy temp job. This guy installed flat ones with no issues though:
  19. Any templates for the vinyl?
  20. That 2nd step is raised up behind the skirt so you can easily bolt it on is it not? Or is there another step I'm not seeing?
