Ekona Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Well yeah, but as long as the lamp glows orange I can't see it ever being an issue. Quote
LRF4N Posted April 21, 2018 Author Posted April 21, 2018 The other option was to paint them black and get wing mirror indicators but that could be a lot of effort with a poor result Quote
Whitevanman Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 you can get smoked lenses for g35 from the states.... had them on mine, Quote
LRF4N Posted April 22, 2018 Author Posted April 22, 2018 Nice one. Had a look online, loads on eBay in the states but none here. Shipping is as much as they are lol Did you get them yourself or we’re they on the car? Quote
Whitevanman Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 yeah I got mine of ebay from the states, like you say shipping is as much as the item but they do look a lot better than the orange lens.... Ive got clear ones on my 370 but may swap them for the smoked later on.. Quote
LRF4N Posted May 19, 2018 Author Posted May 19, 2018 New fans fitted but started spraying out coolant from the rad so new one on its way. Only driven it a few times since it arrived but hopefully that will change come Wednesday Quote
LRF4N Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Updates from the last week Koyo radiator fitted, no longer spraying coolant from the front whacky races style Also tinted the amber lenses. Was thinking of doing it as a temp measure but I might just stick with them. Left a sticker over the middle reflector so that’s not tinted but might give the whole thing one more coat Considering new black lenses cost around 45, this cost me nothing as I had some tint spray left over, even that was under a quid lol Before: Quote
LRF4N Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Also not had a chance to detail it yet but had a meet yesterday so gave it a quick detail after a quick wash, not a bad base point, should look good once the da comes out Quote
LRF4N Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Also I’m thinking to neaten up the front end I might have the vent surrounds painted black? Was originally thinking of a new bumper but this caught my eye. Different lip on that one but same idea Edited May 28, 2018 by LRF4N Quote
HEADPHONES Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Looking good. Just looked back at how the front end looked to begin with. Very ad-hoc in comparison with how it looks now. Mods are so classy and subtle. I reckon most parking wardens wouldn't know what to write on a parking ticket if you parked illegally. Would a parking ticket still be valid if all they wrote was "Make...... UNKNOWN....model..... UNKNOWN..... Colour....RED!" Edited May 28, 2018 by HEADPHONES Quote
LRF4N Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Lol good point. Most people looking at the car at yesterday’s meet didn’t know what it was- and they’re car enthusiasts lol Quote
napp Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 looking good,nice to see one more. must do my grille black and a induction kit next. Quote
LRF4N Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Snapped these up from @lmc, will have them on in time for knockhill. Long term they will be refurbished, just deciding on colour scheme 2 Quote
glrnet Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Only just seen this, . Always had a soft spot for the 350GT, nice mods so far mate, subtle but distinct all at the same time. Have followed. Quote
LRF4N Posted July 19, 2018 Author Posted July 19, 2018 More progress today. Wheels refurbed gunmetal, wrapped in MPSS. Brembos repainted red with black decals Starting to take shape now 1 Quote

LRF4N Posted July 19, 2018 Author Posted July 19, 2018 These cars make 19s look tiny- they’re worse than zeds lol. 17s on R33s and S14s don’t look out of place even though they’re longer cars Quote

davey_83 Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Looks fab!! what tyre size did you go for? 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted July 20, 2018 Author Posted July 20, 2018 Same as lmc had- 245/35 and 275/35 Will probably go wider on the rears when I renew them they’re quite stretched Quote
LRF4N Posted July 21, 2018 Author Posted July 21, 2018 Spent 6 hours cleaning it today. Wash with gyeon bathe+, clay, wash again, black hole glaze, nattys paste wax When I was washing I couldn’t use my hose as the tap is leaking so I had to use a watering can. My neighbours already thought I was daft but today confirmed it All set for knockhill tomorrow After claying: 1 Quote
