Yeh, I assumed I'd use one each time I needed to repair one going by my 350z experience with soft paint, but only having the Z for 5 months scuppered it (and I got no stone chips in that time, or maybe the paint healed itself!)

I bought a couple of these from motorsportauto in the US, since I couldn't get it in the UK for whatever reason - cost was $41.90 USD for 3 inc shipping. My Z is now sold, so if anyone wants one, ill send them to you for the postage cost, they are unopened (So if they don't match don't blame me!). its Genuine Nissan, paint code QAB first come first served etc

Sold

I updated the Ad to reflect the current status. I havent done anything to the car except MOT, Tax and wash it, its doing about 50 miles a week atm I'm in Shalford, about 4 miles from Guildford. Had some muppet offer me £5k today in cash, but I told him no David

Now £7495 - I cant afford to keep running 2 cars

Now £9495!

Not really, tbh I couldnt tell on the original pictures, it was a grade 4. Its nothing too bad, you cant even see them from some angles, but I know they are there (sorry for the PM Digsy, I misclicked) David

Now Sold Thanks David

Yeh I live in Guildford. Would like to swap it out to get UK radio too, but I'm tempted just to replace it with something DVD or HD based tbh. Colour looks the same to me, grey Davidb

So, before I even got my import I bought a UK Bose headunit on Ebay. I've never fitted it, I asked the main dealer in Guildford to once, but they said they couldnt as I didnt know the 'code' The guy who sold it to me doesnt exist anymore it seems, as this was 18 months ago, and I'm kinda thinking about doing it myself and just seeing if it works as mine has a really bad skipping habit when cold atm. Anyone know anything about this mysterious code I dont have? or was it a story I was told because they didnt want to swap it for me? Cheers David

I posted my full cost with Bonsai about halfway down this thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0 /D

Had the same coming off a roundabout at about 15MPH 2 weeks ago. Thought it was just me planting it too much and kept driving home. I'd like to think I caught the slide just in time and powered out of it.. but more likely I just hit clean tarmac and got grip again. Was scary though, and there was a queue of stationary traffic on the other side. Went past the same bit that evening, and what did I see, a biker on the floor and shopping everywhere, which was when it clicked it was diesel. /David

http://www.bonsaicars.com/images/616-20 ... lady_Z.htm I have mine at home but not at work.. Bonsai translate the Auction sheet for you, so you might be able to match that one to yours? /David

If you have your original Auction text handy, it should say if a spare key was present, and/or a BIMTA certificate. If it was there, you are perfectly entitled to ask the importer to provide it, as they should have taken it with the other key. /David

The Japanese owner of the car must have used Car Washes, or a slightly abrasive sponge, as there were fine scratches and swirl marks over most of the car (only really visible in the dark, with a light shone on it) Pretty much gone now http://www.autopia-carcare.com/meg-g-10307.html /David
