Im not a paint guru so Im not sure what the normal process would be in such a situation - should they tinker with the paint to make it match? Do Nissan have different paint codes for different panels?

Hi, Some herbert of a neighbour ran into my bumper and didnt fancy 'fessing up to it; so last week the grey GT entered the local bodyshop. No massive issues with the work, but the panel matching is pretty poor, and the issue seems to be getting the plastic (ie bumper) to match the rear panel and into the door. It's gone from a simple bumper spray into rear offside panel and door. At this rate I'll be getting the whole car done, but the bumpers still wont match. Anyone got any thoughts on this? Jon

One of my neighbours kindly reversed into my car, and made a right mess of the bumper. So if anyone has one with the parking sensors in the grey I may well be interested. Otherwise it's off to the sprayers - but Im not sure how easy it's going to be to match the colour.

Looks great.

My first proper car was a Honda CRX V-tec, I loved it's short stance, and characterful engine... the 350z looked like the nearest thing in today's market place. I then drove one a few years back on a driving day in Bedfore and from that moment, I always new i had to have one. Now though, the wife is pregnant... There's a lesson there for everyone...

There's a black 350 for sale on Autotrader. Central London, Liverpool St, on at £11,000. It's black and the owner is going back to Aus' so has to shift it... (shouldn't have told me that) - so he's open to offers. It's got a few nicks in the paint work, little car park dents in each corner, and needs a service. So if anyone wants a black GT for 9.5 - 10k. They could probably take it off him, kind of quick... the wheels are std, and curbed too... Thought it worth a mention.

You have another PM

And how does it sound???

In the market for a Z, so having seen this thread went onto Elephant. £413 for me and the wife (32 and 30) parked on the road. That's not much more than my boring 4 door saloon... That Mrs Treadmill drives... Happy days.

That does look surprisingly good actually...

A very brave post. But i know what you mean, I had a CRX (the proper one) and to start with it was a problem. But then it didnt have any power steering either, that was my excuse.

Yes I did see the grey one down there a couple of weeks ago. I too thought the mileage was slightly high but then the engines should keep on going and going and it pulled very strong. Only reason I didn't go for it was because I thought the interior wasn't quite as well looked after as some examples I had seen for similar money. They may accept less than 11k for it. Only problem I have found so far is you have to travel for the right car. Went up to Suffolk yesterday to look at one for sale and then Manchester today (stopped in Birmingham overnight last night) - bl**dy knackered but well worth it. How's your search going? Cheers for the reply. I haven't ruled it out - but might go to auction to get one. I really want the grey, and is has to be a GT, and have the black leather. So it has the spec. Not massively worried about the miles as it's a second car, and i get the train to work so will spend a lot of it's time in a darkened garage. The engine on the Yeoman one did feel fine. Re the interior, I thought it was okay, but haven't seen enough to compare it to anything else.

Lovely motor, well done, i'm jealous as im in the purchasing process. Interesingly Im in Sussex too. I don't supose you look at the one at Yeoman's in Worthing/Bognor. Still considering it, but it has 60k on the clock... enjoy

with regards to the posts about auction prices a 06 and 56 went through last week, both GT's, one with a full Nismo kit. One made 12,800, and the other 13k. But there's 5% fee on top of that, plus a few other bits and bos to pay... These cars only had in the region of 13k on the clock... Hold on - i'll do this properly... and find the link. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/to ... 0&t=630411 There - I assume it's okay to do this - Im a newbie... and still haven't bought one... but i will.
