S1 HNK

+1 girls car!!! I loved my Mini Cooper S! ........... but then again......... I am a girl point proven! now dont punch me too hard!

at the end of the day it is still a mini +1 girls car!!!

i'd be up for a k2 if the price is right!

Hi mate, hope your well. Yeah he said the satin black is alot darker than it looks on the pic. He said they do two shades on charcoal whereas on the website thats the darker one. I do like that combo!!

i haven't seen this Sarnie, anyone got a pic? Thats about the colour my Rotas are now. Also, are you keeping the polished lip? Darker anthracite looks excellent with the polished lip - but then I am bias! the problem is the polished lip on the nismo's isnt that big so it may not look right. if i had a deep dish i would def leave it polished.

wet sprayed i believe, i've heard a few negative stories regarding powdercoating.

that colour does look good, I definitely dont want any darker than this. cheers mate.

Yeah i fully agree Beavis, if i had a silver, white, yellow i would have done it ages ago and to be honest i looked into trying to swap my Zed for a red one until i realised how much money i'd lost!!!! One of my wheels has badly corroded so they need doing anyway it was just whether i went std silver or something a little different.

using these people Mike, got a good showroom with all the finishes and the guys seem to know what they are talking about. http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ only thing i'm unsure of is whether to go for their lighter anthracite or their darker colour? I'll decide on the day when i see the demo wheels but all opinions welcome.

got mine from main dealer in manchester cost me about £80. in my opinion, you have to have one. Yes, the quality could be better but thats mainly because the cabin noise is so loud in the Zed. Well worth it, especially when you compare it to 3 points and £60 fine!!! I learned the hard way

my cars booked in on thursday at The Wheel Specialist in Manchester to have my Nismo's sprayed anthracite/charcoal. I just thought with so many people having Nismo's it would be nice to do something a little different with them. I'm sure some with love them and some will hate them but i'll be sure to post the pics when they are done!

its days like today i wish we still had the VXT, let the sun shine!!!

i want one!!! the initial pics made it look badly proportioned and sit too high but i think this looks stunning!

The VXR is a totally different performance bracket from a 2.2 though. The 350z is a quicker car than a std 2.2 (not sure how many engine mods Nik has done)

hi mate, my brother owned a vx 220 turbo for a couple of years and i used it more than him so i can make a pretty good comparison. First of all i would say they are totally different cars, the Vx was great for a summers day on a dry road but in anything other than that i found it very twitchy are quite frankly scary as hell!!! The zed is a much more relaxed car to drive (albeit a heavy one) although when you do push it, it can be very agile and is a fantastic drivers car. I would say definitely swap, as fun as the Vx was, its not in the same league as the Zed and to be honest i found the turbo version not as quick as id hoped. On the right road it was awesome but that only happened 5% of the time, the rest of the time the Zed was the quicker car. Anyway im sure you'll get lots of good advice, this is just my opinion.

that's some bodykit on the silver Zed!!

that's alot of car for 10k!!! I did want to swap mine for a red one but i think i'd have a heart attack when i realise what i've lost on it this year

nice looking azure, *** COL private reg.

a guy i know does these, he can do cartoon style but i think he does artist drawings too. He did one of my type r ages ago and he's done lots of my mates cars. As far as i remember he still does custom drawing because my type R had loads of mods on, i'll try and find a pic of it. http://www.koochie-cartoon.co.uk/

it really suits your car actually ian! like everyone says it depends what mods you have but if you haven't done anything else then it wouldn't be at the top of my list.

never get why you would put a hole in your bumper...unless there's a pair of turbos under the bonnet!

+1 A lot, lot better! +1, loving the convertible!!
