    nismo v2 pics?

    And so you know, the V2 is actually no lower than a standard front bumper (exactly the same depth). However it does curve out to create the lip on the V2 whereas the standard bumper curves under the car. So speed bumps etc should be fine if they are now, unless they are downhill
  2. Tis / was nice stuff. I had one of their line drivers and most of my cabling was theirs in the first car. Good luck with the install!
  3. If you don't want something that will break down, avoid an old French or Italian car The Focus or even Fiesta route isn't a bad route to go down, at least anything on those is likely to be cheap and with plenty of choice for people to do the work. I wouldn't even worry too much about it being diesel. Older diesel engines just aren't as good as they are now and the fuel consumption isn't always that much better.... Also think about Hondas, Nissans, Toyotas and the like, Jap stuff tends to go on for a while!

    Correct, no side reflectors, cleans the lines up for me. But that is the design difference between the two - yours looks to be the V1 if it is the one in your sig

    Genuine and it fits like the proverbial glove. When we first put it on it slid on better than the OEM one, amazing quality.

    Here's mine, but with GReddy skirts....
  7. Depends on the wheel, but those well made will have been designed for the offset from the off and the spokes come to the right point for the hub to be in the right place.
  8. Wouldn't having bigger wheels with aggressive offsets have the same effect as spacers? The extra metal in the wheel to make it wider would also increase unsprung weight in the same manner as adding spacers. I would have assumed this as well. If the wheel is constructed to not need a spacer then you save the weight of the spacer. My (unclear) point was why do people buy bigger wheels with the intention of putting spacers on...
  9. Exactly my reason for never spacing my Rays! And with bigger wheels with good offsets, why add more unsprung weight?!
  10. That, or a Maserati Quattroporte everytime..... If it has to be diesel, then maybe a RR Sport (despite JLR) Or then I'd be back at the Mercs or Lexi...
  11. I did mine and didn't claim a thing, so that was a waste of cash.... Hindsight, I would check to see if there were any warranty issues that could affect the car and if it hasn't had them done I would consider. eg mine had had the 4th to 6th syncro work done on the gearbox and if that had happened outside of warranty the parts alone were 4 figures. Since it had, there was no point really. Most other warranty jobs were less than the cost in reality. So check it out, and otherwise put the cash in the bank and leave it for 2 years.
  12. You called?! JL Audio 8W7 is the answer to your question. Alpine for head units. My sealth install, I will post a link to a thread in a minute. I haven't got any pictures of the trophies
  13. Same situation for us, just exhange Gallardo for Elise and F430 for MX5
  14. Much better SQ when properly sealed, looks nice
  15. Looking into it now - or at least getting an admin to
  16. They are trying to avoid taking the insurance company to court. Send a copy on to your insurance company reminding them they are required to pay it.... This was one element of the fiasco we were in court for. The claimant sees the insurance company and you as one (through the eyes of the law) hence you being contacted. Part of your insurance will be legal cover? Get them involved....
  17. Yeah, guess it wouldn't be too much use on track without a steering wheel Brave move taking it straight out there though Dan
  18. Same amp with a 10W7 on the end. And I couldn't agree more! Most people think there are a couple of 12's in the car when it drops
