right enought wrapping for now

 

onto some bits for the inside finally getting rid of that tan/orange/dogpoo/vinderloo colour

 

bits of the O/H for mas

 

 

so naturally she didnt think/know that i needed a boss and new knobs to fit these so i got busy on the old ebay and order my self a cheap china boss and a knock off sparco quick release and a proper set of sparco knobs and pedal set

 

right the china boss was just plain rubbish wouldn't of fitted unless you removed all of the steering assembly including the indicator sticks and unit they attach to but at 15 wasn't to fussed but ended up with a full refund and didn't have to return item as it wasn't fit for its advertised car

 

as for the knock off sparco snap off looks the business 2 solid bits of aluminum and a good mechanism and solid lock so that was a steel at only £15

 

 

the sparco knob and pedal set took a little longer due to a paypal issue so only got these today

 

so fitted these with the gaiters i got at xmas

next up try and get into my mates garage this week to wrap the rear wings then onto the doors and the roof sills

 

pay days shopping list is a nrg short boss so i can get my wheel on

 

some steering fluid as messing with the car lock to lock has seemed to burnt some off and got lights on dash now (there just on min levels once warm hovers over min line but esp and skid lights come on front brakes come on then let off and all then drives like normal. read up that it just the sensor reading it low)

 

may also look out for some nismo side skirts

 

now im off to bed before i think of something else to wrap or buy

[cov350z]

so managed to get out in the nice dry weather we've had over the last day or two and get a little more of the car wrapped, both rear quarter panels are now done

also had to redo the drivers side, side skirt as had taken a chunk out of the wrap going over a log at speed on a spirited run last week.

had to removed the bonnet carbon wrap as some water had penetrated a small hole and it froze the other night causing about a 6 inch tear in the bonnet groves

 

anyway gave me an excuse to wash the car and take a few pics,

 

 

[cov350z]

ignore the colour being orange i can assure you its red it just light and some night mode on my phone so didnt see how bad it looked till i got them on the pc

[veilside z]

[Flex]

so after collering my brother to help me out today and fight the wind i got my bonnet wrapped. just got the boot/hatch to do in the week and itll be done for now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[cov350z]

must say that as my first time wrapping a car and doing most of it on the side of the road by myself in the middle of winter its not looking too bad yes there is a few panels that need redoing, but that is why ive done it myself so i can practice on it as i may start doing it as a side business from a garage next year (once sourced a new house).

 

now ive got to decide on a spoiler i want to finish off the back end.

 

then on to the list of lip skirts and diffuser

 

anybody got a few £££££'s they want to give me

[cov350z]

so i finally got round to finishing the wrap

 

taking the gt spoiler off was a pain, 3 hours later i managed to remove most of the residue left behind.

 

 

next step spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

[ZEUS]

I bet your glad that's over.

[cov350z]

it isnt tbh i have a few panels to take off and redo as there crap.

 

but i would do it again just not using a carbon look vinyl as it is a right donkey to work with

 

maybe go matt black after the summer haha

 

but not on the side of the road in winter again think ive got a few frostbite sores from the cold days

[monkeybrain1234]

Fairplay Dude. Great effort.

 

Not sure the pictures do it justice, will be good to see it in the flesh one day.

That's very close to the plan mate wheels and door handles should be done next week or so. Stubby as well. Hopefully get a bgw around end of the month if funds and gf let's me (supposed to be saving for our holiday)
