neo

almost sure it's bolted on as well

nice little game

fingers crossed for ya m8

thx m8, gonna get a couple of repair quotes this week and see what happens

cheers m8, like i say i'm just weighing up me options

no worries m8, thx for your concern

my NCD is protected as long as i don't make more than 2 claims within 3years. when some scumbag scratched my bonnet about 3 years ago, i never got it done and even then they quoted around £250 to do the full bonnet and just to blow in the wings n bumper so in theory it should cost a lot more now it all needs doing. just gotta play the insurance waiting game

a long shot but are the 2 items below still up for sale ?? see this thread for reason http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12246 if they are, would the azure blue be a totally different shade as your's is 53 and mine's a 54 plate,just trying to weight up my options ??? Standard UK Front Bumper £100ono Standard '53 plate Azure front bumper in good condition. Comes with reflectors & pop out washer covers. Also has the upgraded chrome Z badges to replace the standard Nissan badges. Standard UK Bonnet £100ono Standard '53 plate Azure bonnet. Has some small stone chips in accordance with a 30k car but otherwise in good condition.

bad news finally got a phone call back from my house insurance............can't claim off them, it just covers the house,contents and nothing else so car insurance it is then, £350 excess, just filled in a online form, gotta wait now. they wanted to use their approved repairer, not mentioning companies, i said no way as they have done some shite jobs on other peoples cars i've seen, even tried to write off me dads car coz they said it was too costly to repair, it is a old car yes but it only cost £80 for a new headlight and indicator lense from a different garage just gotta get 2 quotes and hopefully i can use a repairer near me which do a excellent job how much would a new bonnet (standard) cost ?????

here's the damage, started raining while trying to capture the dents there's a few other smaller dents plus other scratches that i didn't photo

that's my thinking as well m8 about the earthquake yeah at least it will get rid of the stonechips as the bumper needs doing as well

thx guys yeah it could have been a lot worse like you say, cars can be repaired easily had another look this morning there's a dent about 4" long in the middle of the bonnet and couple of other small but slightly deeper dents in other places of the bonnet (will take some piccies when me camera's charged up) would it be a new bonnet or can they repair the dents in the aluminium bonnet ???

been awake most of the night due to the high winds, a neighbour knocked on my front door about 5.30am to say part of the chimney stack as been blown down onto me Z !"£$%^ quickly got fully dressed and dashed outside to see me bonnet with several piece's of mortar laying on it !"£$%^ , luckily i think the biggest bits of brick have just scuffled me bumper hopefully it's just a resprayed bonnet n bumper will know more in the daylight. seeing as it's part of my own chimney stack that as come down, do i claim off me home insurance, car insurance or both, never had anything like this happen b4 suppose it will get rid of me stone chips n scratched bonnet thats been on for about 3 years

our server host is keeping their eye on this our server as been running for 320+ days without a reset/restart so it might need one in the near future

It hadn't been polished in months over the late autumn and winter and when the last couple of weekends were dry I put three coats of Zaino 5 on it. So not extreme polishing but not bad either! A Canon 5D with either 70-200L, 24-105L or 17-40L. I have a photography business so I've got some fairly decent kit. But as with everything I always want more and better stuff! Any chance of some high res images for our gallery, superb shots and lovely car. was thinking the same thing, although it would just be for me house wall and not a gallery

Thats why he's been 'removed' Not really. He's "removed" because he left of his own accord and asked that his personal details were removed from the site. Jumped before he was pushed Sarnie,think you will find that your above comment is entirely incorrect, it was entirely Val's decision to leave which we (the admin/mod team) respected

awww indeed wonder if the grit/dirt as scratched 3 X's into ya paint
