a few people have done black rays, buster posted a pic up earlier on another thread, but they are on an orange car. shire has done a carbon vinyl roof if that helps and he has a GM car. its a case of piecing all the bits togehter. photoshop might be your friend here. i think husky did it for me on my silver, if you ask him nicely he might post them up. might give you an idea. its on a silver and a bit crude, but it helped me. think he did several verisons with roof and wing mirrors etc. that reminds me wing mirrors are on my list of to do's

i've got the V2 nismo spoiler and i had the centre blade and end caps painted black, have door handles on standby ready to be painted and then swapped over. and will be getting the wheels refurbed in black next year. and i have no photos of any of it yet. the spoiler is the only bit i've done so far, but due to weather etc and only just getting onto holiday i haven't taken pics yet. next weeks job. the black works, but on my car it needs balancing out with other parts, but then thats in the long term plan. i also used BMW saphire black, as it was more metalic and a better pearlsant than the nissan colours, if it works with a gt spoiler i don't know, for me i don't think it does, but then its not the look i was going for. i think you'll find it will be a divided response. if you like it then go for it, but if your trying to persaude yourself with peoples opinions on here then it probably isn't the right route.

its not black, but a carbon wrap. As close as i could find. took the pic at modified live back in the autumn. hope it helps

North Yorkshire, mate. i'll keep an eye out for you, i'll be in malton on monday/tuesday

my honest opinion is thats a bit overkill, i got it off an american site that look to deal mainly with old retro muscle cars and pickups. me personally i probably wouldn't oil the cylinders, but i'd have someone pop round once a fortnight to turn the car over for a while to get it up to temp. i'd stick the battery on to a trickle charger. i'd probably leave it still connected to the car. stick her up on axle stands and do the whole wash and wax routine before hand, and a brief drive to dry her off before bed.

i have a single space garage, but if i stuck your car in it i can't get mine in

Taken from www.Torquecars.com Rust is your biggest enemy so you need to avoid damp - heated garage or put car inside a sealed cover. TorqueCars recommend that when you put a car into storage you first of all wash it thoroughly and ensure that all brake dust is removed from the wheels. Then you need to ensure the car is completely dry - a hot day is best. When the car is dry you need to apply a protective layer of wax which will help to keep out corrosion. When a car is standing you still have to worry about corrosion inside the engine. We recommend that you spray some oil into each of the cylinders. The easiest way to do this is by removing the spark plugs. To ensure the oil coats the cylinder walls you will need to crank the engine for a single revolution (short burst) with the plugs removed to prevent combustion. Doing this will protect the internal areas of the engine from corrosion. (Any fuel sprayed in will quickly evaporate away.) Lay a plastic sheet on the ground to help keep the damp from rising up into the car itself. If you can get a dehumidifyer installed that would be good as this will also help to keep the damp air away from the car. Don't let mice/rats nest in your exhaust - stuff some rags in the end. (Put a notice in the car reminding you to remove the rags). The same applies to the air intake in the engine. Small rodents love to find little tubes and pipes to nest in so don't take chances. After a while the brakes will bind on that is stick to the disks, so avoid leaving the handbrake engaged. Instead of the handbrake leave the car in gear and chock the wheels. If you are leaving the car for a long time it would usually be best to raise it up and leave it on axle stands. (Please note that axle stands are not always sturdy and you should always use caution around a car on axle stands.) This will reduce pressure and wear on the tyres and suspension. Ensure that you fully inflate the tyres and keep them topped up. Soft tyres will quickly start to deteriorate and they will always lose pressure over time so you will need to keep them topped up. Wiper blades can stick to the glass over time so put some rags underneath them to prevent this. Lubricate all hinges with white grease and this will help protect them from siezing up. Keep the battery charged and topped up. It is best to remove the battery from the car when you are storing it. Car alarms, electrical circuits and even the clock will eventually drain the battery and batteries last longer with a charge in them so avoid letting the battery go flat. Check antifreeze strength before winter. Even if the car is in a cosy garage you still risk freezing when the cold weather comes. DO NOT DRAIN THE CAR COOLANT. The moisture inside will mix with the air and rust will start to appear in the waterways. Regular maintainence regimen of a stored car. Rotate all of the wheels, especially if it is not on axle stands. This keeps the bearings from sticking as well as changing the pressure point on the tyre. Some recommend starting the car briefly if you are storing the car for longer periods of over 6 months to 12 months. Do not idle the engine and allow it to come up to temperature but rather hold the revs and allow the car to warm up quickly. Ideally the car should be driven for 15 miles every 60 days allowing the engine to get up to temperature. This is not always practical due to insurance and legal issues if the car has been registered out of use. Just starting the engine for short periods can cause major problems and is a great way to accelerate the wear and tear due to corrosion especially in the exhaust. Always allow the car to fully get up to temperature before shutting the engine off. Whilst you have the engine running you should also breifly run the airconditioning compressor/heater fan for a short while on both hot and cold settings. When you have finished running the engine you will need once more to redo the previous steps such as oil in the engine and reinsert the rodent protectors. Also the windows should be periodically wound up and down to keep them free running. This is especially important on cars with electric windows as a siezed window can burn out the motor. Turn the steering fully from lock to lock to prevent the steering rack/power steering pump from siezing up. This can be done with the car on axle stands. Hopefully your car survives its storage in perfect condition, sadly there are no guarantees here but at least you have taken every precaution. When you go to put it back on the road make sure it has been thoroughly serviced. You should also ensure that the car is safe to drive. Rubber suspension bushes, brakes and steering should all be carefully checked before using the car on the roads.

personally i think equally good sounds can be bought for less, but if money isn't an issue then its a good choice.

sorry to see you sell up. always welcome at the meets still

swap them for sessantas when they're next due for a change.

yes i saw it and was wondering if he was drunk, and yes it was very cringe TV, i didn't understand why he was on it agian?

+1 i use both, wiper and rainex

checked there website but couldn't find anything, I thought i saw a thread saying they were hoping to do them soon. Have you got a price or a link for them? been browsing the envy site and could find no sign of them. i know they do the fronts didn't know they did rears.

i still have the sore lump on my head from a week ago wehn it dropped on my head.

Think i need to do this to mine, going to try the boot weight first, then if still needed i'll send these off.

apparently its all in the hips

thats fair enough, the lesson is still learned either way.

i think i might have a front uk number plate holder. can't get in to the garage at the momto check as my wifes car is up close to the door and its snowed in place

mark sorry to hear you had such a crap drive home. nixy i'd go right your name on his. but use the yellow snow technique

lol sorry i can't read

i'm biased, hence my vote for the sessanta's excellent tyres, superb grip and a really firm sidewall. for me the toyos are ok but i think the side wall is too soft and i don't think they are as good as the sessanta's. sessanta's also came in evo's top 3 tyres when they reviewed a load, and also several other mags and programs have rated them well.

have you tried pm'ing him buttons in the bottom left hand side of his last post

forza FTW

aqttak if your one of each you can take 2 spots, and that would fill the GB

i have those tyres and i got them from camskills, they work excellently. really pleased with them.
