I've got a some spare standard nuts i can bring to wales if you want one...? Are your bronze coloured though? Could tide you over... till u win the comp

I take it you didnt read all my post then... I said im going to ask you for some Nissan decals in black for them. I cant put brembo in them saing as they're standard JDM brakes! ...I just need to wait for the weather to get better then i can go out and measure what sizes i need!

You done the zed before? How bads the paint? Nope, never clayed before... and only polished once. To be honest the paint is really good - there are no swirl marks at all, although there is a lot of tar. When i rub my fingers over it, the car feels rough. Oh well, plenty lube and a bit of time! I never wear a watch when I'm cleaning or detailing so how idea how long anything takes. Too right. Unfortunately my back is the only time-keeping equipment i need! Im in agony today after painting my brakes, and im already dreading the full day of detailing.

Nice work Ian. Im loving the wheels in that shade... How long did the clay-ing take...? Im doing mine in a couple of weeks...!

Im loving these Clarkie... top work Paul...!

Dont do i to me...! I was looking at them earlier!! Are they braided? They're on my to-do list, but im trying to stop spending....!

Cheers CS. Im on the drift day at Oulton Park next Saturday, so havent put the spacers on yet... but have got the following Monday booked off work to do a full detail, so will be fitting them then.

Hey guys... Thought i'd neaten up my brakes this weekend with a bit of paint. I think they must have originally been silver, but they were so scruffy looking they needed re-doing. I had originally planned to do them gloss black, as i dont particularly want to show off my 'small packages', but i had almost a full tin of red caliper paint left from when i did the lip on my wheels... so i thought i'd give them a few coats of that... So, armed with some brake cleaner and a wire brush, i scrubbed them down and covered them in paint! This was not intended to be a propper smart job - i didnt use any wet dry paper on them etc... i just wanted to stop them flaking everywhere. They were very badly pitted and you can see that up close - but the thick glossy paint masks it fairly well. I would have loved to spend ages doing them properly, but i was getting stick from the missus Anyway, here's some pics... i think i'll order some black nissan decals from rtbiscuit to see how they look with those on! (and yes i know i need tyre dressing, and next big mod is lowering... and i already have my spacers sat here to go on before wales )

Thats a good idea for a forum section, or at least a thread: Your previous modified car pics...! Would make some interesting viewing, im sure!

I think it doesn't let you post over 800pixels high. 1024x768 is width x height. If you have a photo in portrait, i guess photobucket still thinks its 800x600 but the other way around. Then the forum doesnt let you post it. I find this very annoying like you! I think allowing 1024x800 would solve the issue...?

Did you take that while on your bike adam, over your shoulder? Seriously, that looks MINT!

Sweet..! I was at my local Tesco a couple of weeks ago, and i parked near an Audi R8. There were kids taking pictures of it, and when i pulled up, they all came to take pictures of my car too...!

Thank you Neo!! I spent 30mins looking for this when i got up this morning. Im not a fan of Hatton but you always have to support british. That was a brutal knockout - not seen one like that in a while...!

+1. I never use recirculate, and it only smells when i turn the ac on or off.... its never during!!

Yep - i'd have one...! Better than impreza's imo

Nice shine on the front of the zed...!

I missed this Si, this looks sweet! I was talking about matte black wraps a few months ago on here... i'd love that...! I definitely need to see this when its done!!

Thumb + Under = Lexx

Just paid for this finally...! Is anyone else coming along?? I cant wait...!

No wait - the best ever line was... '...you bumder...!'

Its the best show on telly. Clunge...!

Welcome mate. I hope the zed doesnt end up being a bad luck car for you. My bmw before the zed was a bad luck car - the day i was supposed to pick it up i crashed my trade-in car on the way to the garage. Got it all fixed and traded in (all be it a grand out of pocket), and then 4 days later a roof tile blew off and landed on my new car! 300quids worth of damage, not covered by insurance...! Add to that about 15 other ailments in the 11 months i had the car and i couldn't wait to get rid...! So i just hope this isnt the same for you!!

I have removed my lower center console section and boxed it up - it'll be in the post by lunchtime tomorrow So everyone can have a gander in Wales

Balls. I bought a full set a week ago...!
