Chris M 370z Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Hi, Just thought I'd start a thread for my new 370z. I've been looking for one for around 12 months now, each one I have viewed regardless of mileage had a few niggling marks. I came across this on Auto Trader, completely different to the white GT I was originally looking for. Having viewed the car I realised how nice it was and it was once owned by forum member Steve who very kindly gave me information on the car and photos throughout his ownership. The deal was done and today was the day my dream became reality. Thanks for looking, any comments appreciated. Chris Firstly the car I have traded: Feeling sorry for itself before it went, gonna miss this Onwards and upwards, Magma Red is unbelievable how it pops in the sun. 1 Quote
DrMurderDeath Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Nice, love the colour. Whats in the bag in the garage? Quote
Chris M 370z Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Its a 1999 Mercedes SLK with 2,600 miles from new, not mine though ha ha This is my other car, probably not many people's cup of tea but I'm quite into old VW's: 1 Quote
Wayne370Z Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Like the colour with the dark wheels. Quote
Jay Kay Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 V Nice - well done! I quite like the Corsa VXR, infact I looked at a few a while back but was put off by engine related horror stories. Rocco is nice too, as is the van. Lucky chap Quote
Chris M 370z Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks for the welcome and kind comments â˜ºï¸ Not much planned for the 370 so far apart from looking after it, haha that plate is going on the car once the V5 turns up and I've ordered the fitted plates from demon. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Welcome to the club, Chris and lovely car! I'll give you about 3-4 weeks until you start looking for an exhaust Quote
Chris M 370z Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 😂 been looking already believe it or not, what are people's opinions of the Cybox short tails? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 í ½í¸‚ been looking already believe it or not, what are people's opinions of the Cybox short tails? Have a look here for some inspiration https://www.torqen.uk/84-exhaust-systems Quote
Payco Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Ark dual Grip exhaust will look and sound awesome.Car looks stunning.Contact Adrian at Torqen as above. Quote
Chris M 370z Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 VXR is a really good car I liked mine so much that I had 3 in a row! Thanks for the welcome, loving the car and the colour. Quite surprised by the fuel consumption currently not using much more than the corsa due to there poor fuel economy and my commute. Quote
Chris M 370z Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 Booked the car in for window tints in a couple of weeks, only going for a dark smoke not limo black and in two minds about the roof been wrapped black. Also having the fangs and lower bumper painted when time allows. Quote
Chris M 370z Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 First couple of bits done over the weekend, Windows tinted, sun strip and new plates. Didn't go for dogging black just a dark smoke to keep it looking relatively OEM... Love the colour when it's clean... 1 Quote
Dal B Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Looking sweet dude Where did you get the custom shaped rear plate from if you don't mind me asking? Looks so much better than the standard shaped one! Quote
mattross1313 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Looks great mate, lovely colour! I had medium tints and a sun-strip fitted recently, looks so much better! Quote
Chris M 370z Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks for the comments and I think the tints make a big difference! DalB the plate is from Demon Plates, it's not something they lost on the website but if you ring them they have all the specs for it, really reasonably priced aswell 1 Quote
Chris M 370z Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 Received the latest addition for the car today, can't thank Rob enough for the great communication and excellent wrapping skills! Top seller*** Won't be fitted for a while due to work at the minute but it's a carbon Evo R diffuser over painted black which will eventually match the front fangs and possibly roof. Anyone that has any fitting tips? Stolen some of Rob's pics... Quote
rob63 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 The build is looking good! Nice classy and subtle mods on a really good colour, keep posting . I've now lost the 370 and have a Cyaman S Gen 2, awesome car and a totally different beast to the Z. I will say that one of the best things of having had a 350 and 370 was being part of this forum, sooo much info and a truly amazing source of build threads and just genuine and enthusiastic guys (and traders) doing great things with their cars! The Cayman owners club is a really, really good forum but I don't think anyone has ever heard of a group buy . Quote
