    Wax

    Hi All, my 350z is kept on the drive all the time. I am having the front end and rear spoiler resprayed next month and want to get a decent wax for protection from the elements. I was looking at bikt hamber double speed wax or AF Tripple. Can you recommend a wax that provides a decent shine but gives that protection, thanks

    350z W Brace

    Thanks Alex. Can you give me a good price for both. I have also found a second hand one so may just buy the bolt kit off you. Does the fixing kit include the nuts for 2 plastic covers? Can you give me a price for that as well.

    350z W Brace

    Hi, anyone have a 2nd hand one, that I can clean up and smoothrite. Tried to take my old one off and the small bolts that hold the plastic covers on each side sheared off. That was rusty. New ones are a bit pricey, thanks dan
  4. Hi does anyone have a spare, mine was badly scratched. Keeps bubbling despite priming, paint and clearcoat thanks dan

    BMW M135i

    The only slight issue I have is the look. Not that pleasing on the eye

    Having a look at this one. Good space for kids and really quick.
  7. Hi All, Got new front mats and rear boot mat as they looked tired. Nice like for like only difference is that I added a grey border for the boot mat to match the front. Also repainted the boot strut bar and clear coated. Booked in for respray in a few months time in yellow. During that time I will be rust proofing the chassis. All good fun
  8. Hi All, does anyone have a new z badge for the strut bar cover. Mine has a few marks, will try to see if I can sort out via painting if not, if anyone had a spare thanks dan

    Strut Brace

    Hi Guys I am looking to do some cleaning and tidying up the underside. Have a look at the attached pic. The w shaped brace in the bottom looking particularly rusty that I want to replace. Can you let me know correct name and anyone that has any spares, thanks dan
  12. Hi All, I would like to get rid of the surface rust and wax treat the underside. I would like to do this myself but don't fancy it with just axle stands. Can you recommend anyone in the Sussex area, thanks dan
  13. Thanks guys, anyway on a better note went on an evening blast down the country lanes in the evening sun, can't beat it in a Z.
  14. Hi All, Outdoor Car Cover given white watermarks on the roof and bonnet of my yellow gt4. Not happy. Will try teecut and see if the bout of hot weather brings the colour back. If not body shop. Looks like water got into the clear coat. Car cover destined for bin.

    Tyres

    Thanks Ekona, they basically come in that one size 245/45/R18 100Y same as the back. Could find any other variations
  16. Don't mind the 2.7 or 3.4 Cayman s. I wonder if they have bottomed out price wise, or continue to depreciate?
  17. Your making it a difficult choice now

    Tyres

    Hi All, interesting have Kumho ecsta ke sport 245/45/R18 100Y at the rear. Good tread and the Falken ZIEX ZE 912 225/45/R18 91W the outgoing tyres at the front. Any thoughts, thanks dan
  20. Cayman is an option, but does not live up to a 911. Ekona, looking at 997.1 as 997.2 are a bit out of my price bracket. Fancy the convertible. Will look at getting an independent inspection re bore scoring/ims bearing issues. Might take me a few months, but will let the forum know when I have something.

    Tyres

    Hi All looking for two front tyres, please size 225/45zr18 91w. Current ones are Falken and came up as advisory on last mot. Don't mind used as long as good condition. Otherwise will look for a new set at the usual retailers kwik fit are doing deals on mitchlins and pirelli's at the moment circa £125 each, thanks
  23. Strange, Lotus evora starting prices for 2009-10 plate are around £27k.They don't drop alot. I can get a decent low mileage 997 for circa 25k. Massa gran turismo even cheaper. Think I have to rule the massa out, lovely looks but expensive to maintain and would prefer gutsier 4.7 litre over the 4.2 which is alot more pricier. Lotus would be great, lovely looks and great on the road but dodgy interior and rather pricey for low mileage models. Might have to be the 997.
  24. Thanks did hear the interior quality of the lotus wasn't the best
