Right guys finally got hold of my new bumper, the Nismo V2 with carbon lip i nearly went ahead with this last year then decided against it but its my favourite bumper by far so decided to take the plunge this year. After waiting for it to arrive for months from far away shores i didnt waste any time in getting it trial fitted just to make sure we didnt have any fitment issues which im glad to say we didnt and more importanly that i could get over speed bumps which i can with about a inch clearence when im lucky . Theres a few niggles around the lights and corners that will have to be adjusted but overall for a 'copy' its a really good fitment! (Thanks very much to Rik at prestige Styling for the bumper, I know he had some grief on the forum but i cant knock him for my dealings with him only thank him as the bumper arrived when promised in good condition, packed well and at a good price, thanks again Rik )
Iv decided to do the mouth and grill in gloss black to help enhance the carbon lip (what i must say is great quality) but its the badge and lines either side im unsure what to do with. At first i was going to smooth them out but then think the lines follow on nicely with the bonnet ones and if i smoothed the badge out to it may look a little 'to smooth' what would you guys go for??!
Be great if anyone could find a picture with a Z fitted with the early model bonnet but with smoothed out lines and badge iv tried but failed
Then theres the sideskirts, iv decided on the nismo skirts but to make them slightly different i may smooth the line that runs just above the buldges all the way through the skirts, would you agree?!
Then my final decision is whether or not to lacquer the roof? I know this divided opinion when i first did it some liking it and others not.
Decisions decisions eh anyway ill shutup now and show you some pictures
As you can see rather close getting it on the wood chocks, god know how ill go on with the skirts on
The line in question i think it'll look loads better smoothed out not sure if anyones done this before?!!
And while i had the wheels off i gave them a really good clean and wax came up
