S1 HNK

Here we go Steve, just a quick mock but hopefully it gives you enough of an idea

What....a bulge?

It's put me off getting the 07 bonnet with the bulge now

The ones I've always seen look very stuck on as they don't follow the line of the bonnet and wings. You could try it in vinyl before to see how it looks. Vinyl could even look better if you could get a paint match.

fair point. Drive a trophy and youll soon forget the colour. They really are a performance bargain. £4-5k gets you a nice one from having a quick look.

It is a nice red though and the dark wheels really set the colour off. You could always wrap it

Well if you could have a route around and let me know Will pm you about the bonnet.

If no one beats me to it I'll be able to sort tomorrow. Left my lap top in the office

Can anyone still get these wheels or are they discontinued? Used to love them so much on my old zed, just seeing if it's possible to get a set.

172 cups are great little cars. My brother had one years ago and it was bloody quick. If you can stretch to a 182 trophy, they are spectacular!

Bloody love it! Can't wait to see the results.

Civic type r? Great car, not sure how cheap they are now but great fun and bullet proof.

Here you go fella

Does a parachute come out from behind the number plate during heavy braking Front looks lovely though

That panoramic sunroof must make all the difference What an odd thing to mention although maybe quite handy for helicopter spotting

Not really the point is it

47mpg from a Zed....its what dreams are made of

I've just sold my s2000. Great car but got on my nerves pretty quickly.

That ass That face

Its the BMW Performance front bumper and sideskirts. Cheers

A Griffith 500 would be a good shout, they really don't seem to depreciate and in my opinion is such a looker. I know TVRs do get a bad rep regarding their reliability but lets face it, they aren't great. A good friend of mine worked in a TVR dealership years ago and said it was just ridiculous how many would come back with faults on the back of AA trucks. But for that v8 sound its got to be worth it.

Tough call as both are great drivers cars. If it were my daily driver it would be the m3. Weekend toy, cayman.

I want to hate it but it actually suits GM. Wouldn't ever do it on a dark colour though

Just for the record the trader is being most helpful and wants to resolve the issue, I just dont want to be seen to be slagging off the trader as I'm not at all. He called the garage and they said they noticed nothing out of the ordinary with the engine sound etc. Just got back from local garage and both mechanics who I know and trust said it didn't sound anything serious at all, he recommended making sure its got a decent filter in and getting the besrt oil I can as you can never be sure what oil was put it in by a garage. Then took it to Nissan over the road who this mechanic knows the service manager. He came out and also said he didn't think it was anything to worry about, then another mechanic pulled in, in a 350z, we popped the bonnet and it didn't tick like mine but they all seem to sound a little tappy, ticky as most engines do. Anyway, this mechanic listened to it and said he's heard that sound from 350z's before and its more than likely a sticky lifter? He also recommended ensuring decent oil and filter and then keep an eye on it but I had it from seperate mechanics that it wasn't anything to worry about and in fairness they all said they wouldn't have noticed the sound if the car came in to them for a service. The sound does seem to slightly come and go or at least go up and down in terms of volume. Mainly Mark and Alex (I value your opinions and I appreciate a video isn't the easiest way to diagnose) but if there is anything you would like to add or strongly disagree with then do please let me know. Really appreciate everyones help on this, reminds me what a great community this is

Thanks Colin, thats a big help. Unfortunately, there are no vibrations / pulsing coming from that.
