zippypooz 525 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hi all, a while ago i was looking into buying this style badge but soon realised that 1, it was extremely rare and pricey and 2, Tarmac Sportz had stopped selling their version of the badge. So i decided to create my own version. I've been working on this for some time, creating and recreating the badge until i was happy enough with it that i would put it on my own car...if i'd created something but wasn't prepared to put it on my own beloved zee then how could i be prepared to sell it to other zed enthusiasts. So, these are now going into production. This post is to gauge how many of you would be interested in something like this. I've had loads of positive feedback from 'in the flesh' views so i thought i'd post a couple of pics! Various colours will be available so that you can match the colour to your own car. Initially i'll be selling the following: Red, flip bronze, blue, silver, metallic pink and yellow. Price wise i'm still estimating but they'll not be over the top and as some of you know, i'm not a greedy kinda chap!! So, over to you... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willsy1980 222 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hmm maybe interested in a red one, what size are these in comparison to the standard Z after the 370 bit ? Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zippypooz 525 Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 These are about 85mm long by about 42mm high. They replace the Nissan badge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking into the viability of that as the standard front bumper is indented where the badge sits so ideally would need to be incorporated into the nissan badge shape, unless you just removed that and replaced with just the Z.

I’ve had to debadge on the back due to the wing just seats a little too close for my liking, but because your z had a flat edge at the top thought it might fit, so I take it that it fills the complete available space from the standard Nissan badge/ ring? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azurez33 92 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 If they’re not too expensive though I’ll give one a go 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not as bulky as the Nissan badge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azurez33 92 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Zippy, does it use the original badge dowel holes aswell? as I’m currently using inaffective grommets to block the holes up atm, originally I was going to 3D print something but so busy never found the time to design anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zippypooz 525 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 It just covers over the top of them, they end up getting sealed by the adhesive on the back of the badge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
