GIXXERUK Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Looking good Stew , I still think it needs a badge on the nose though +1 needs something to break it up, you tried a normal size plate ? Quote
Stew Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Not tried a normal plate. I would have put on a tommy kaira badge on the front but then I'd be bankrupt! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Not tried a normal plate. I would have put on a tommy kaira badge on the front but then I'd be bankrupt! might be one at wales - take a screwdriver Quote
jim Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 How long before the police pull you for the small plate, do you think? Like the wheels, by that way. Quote
Digsy Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Not tried a normal plate. I would have put on a tommy kaira badge on the front but then I'd be bankrupt! I was thinking Tommy too! Quote
Mr A Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Cant believe how sexy those rims look, ive got a dark grey Z (dunno what the exact name for the colour is, so, er, grey!) Had my eye on some dotz alloys, but was told they wouldnt fit, due to the calipers sticking out so much, What rims are those in the pictures? Quote
Mr A Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 to the site Mr A probably gunmetal grey Cheers mate, nice to be here. Gunmetal grey, i keep forgetting, thanks for the reminder. Quote

Mr A Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Welcome to the forum Mr A glad to see another londoner on here Cheers, mate. here to equal out the northen/southern balance. Quote
M13KYF Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 very nice stew, will give the Z a more balanced look with ya kit Mr A Quote
Stew Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 I went for the dark rims to be different and to give the car a more original look. Everyone has seen Nismo with virtually every wheel going! Don't think there are many Azures with dark wheels kicking about... Not to everyones taste but very nice! Got a tommy badge for the back Digsy. As I say, better pics to follow and hopefully it'll be sweet. Quote
rmmackfc Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Nice Stew, good mix of kits and the wheels look da business Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Looking good. Though Paul had that Nismo front fitted and a normal size plate will not fit in the gap. However normal size letters on a smaller plate (smaller border) may fit just nice. (that gap will need to be a minimum 101mm) There are minimum border and letter sizes which for plates fitted after 1st Sept 2001 are: Characters: Height 79mm Width (except the figure 1 or letter l) 50mm Stroke 14mm Space between characters 11mm Space between groups 33mm Top, bottom and side margins (minimum) 11mm Space between vertical lines 19mm The document from the DVLA stating these can be found here: http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/leafle ... plates.pdf If you trim the characters and margins all to the minimum, the plate will look "different" to other cars, and may be cause for the fuzz to stop you, even though the plate does conform to the legal minimums. So having the document and a ruler handy may be beneficial. Quote
Stew Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 A std plate would not fit. I will have to resort to mounting it at some point but for MOTs etc, I can live with it. When (not if) the police take an interest it'll be a std plate (cut down of excess) that is mounted straight onto the bumper ala std Zed mounting. Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 love how clean it all is (not literally in your case, since the car looks like it did a 200 mile jaunt in a bad rainstorm!) but in a figurative, zen sort of way ; ) really good Stew, congrats, and thank you...bout time you had the time to fit these! Quote
Stew Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Thanks for the comments. Here are some cleaner pics! Still not super clean but will do.... Glad you like it Adam, I think I've created the look I was after. Still some bits to fit to tidy it up. Thanks for your advice! Quote
Stew Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Just noticed in the second pic you can see my bike peeking out! It's the orangy blur in the background locked up! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 woah !!! thats more like it looks like a different car ! superb stew those rims look like kerb magnets you'll have to be very careful Quote
Stew Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Definitely be careful with them! Just a quick wash with Megs detailing shampoo and layer of blackfire wax. Just a quickie hour job. Washed and zaxed the Zed and her focus and washed the freelander. took everything out and tidied up in about 2 1/2 hours so it was no means a serious clean! Quote
