Looks like it's begging for gloss black door handles now. That would set it off nicely.
Yeah I completely agree, thinking of plasti-dipping them

Hi Guys
Ive owned and modified many different cars (mainly VAG) but have never really been inclined to do a build thread before. However i have fallen i love with the 350z so much i thought i might as well.
So as i said my past car have all been German, mainly Seat's and VW's. I loved these cars but decided i wanted something different, something that was rear wheel drive and two seats. My initial inclination was an MX5, i had always loved the 350z but thought it was well out my budget. I saw this one on eBay and booked a cheeky test drive not thinking i would buy it.....what an awesome mistake that was!
I loved the car so much that i immediately put the deposit down and picked it up the next day. The car is mainly for weekend use and track days as i literally live at the back of Brands Hatch
I have kept my Mk5 GTI as its a superb daily and great for the occasionally track day:
The 350 was completely standard when i bought it, and compared to what i have planned i haven't really done much yet as most the money has gone on petrol and weekends away to drive it.
Here are some pictures from the day of collection:
My first port of call was the standard oil change and general maintenance to keep it running nice and smooth.
My idea with this car is to do as much as i possibly can myself mechanically, i have an ok mind mechanically and i love working on cars.
I'm sure ill mess up on the way but i really want to learn and truly understand the car.
My first few mods have been purely cosmetic as i wanted to make the car look more my own.
So firstly i installed the bottom line skirts by Tarmac. What a difference they make, great instructions and easy to fit.
I Then bought a front Lip again from tarmac, honestly those guys are great!
After looking at the lip, and test fitting i decided ill get a professional to do it. So i booked the lip in and had the wheels refurbed in gloss black at the same time.
As you can see i also asked them to do the centre grill in gloss black as well.
I was so pleased with the result, makes such a difference to the look of the car.
So this is how she currently sits after a very quick clean:
So next is to drive it a bit more, have a few days at Brands Hatch and then see what i do and don't like on track. Although ill definitely be getting Coilovers when the funds allow.
Thanks for reading!

One entrance I believe, though the road splits in to two lanes,T for tunnel and B for bridge. We are on stand T8 so that means we get to go through the tunnel.
Great thanks mate! can't wait!
-
Is there a specific entrance or anything i should know? not been before so i have no idea what to expect.
-
Looking good mate!
-
I would but I'm staying up the night before
-
Hopefully getting my car back from the body shop this weekend! First time to Jap-fest, seriously cannot wait!

Hi Guys
I Have a Gt Style poly lip from tarmac sports. It will be fitted onto my red 350 but looking to have the splitter gloss black.
I have been quoted £350.00 for this, how does that price sound to you?
TIA
