JohanVee Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 This weekend I managed to have a (losing) argument with a six inch high brick wall that my friend had hidden next to a row of pine trees as I pulled into their drive. As a result I've got a long series of scrapes all the way down the passenger-side side skirt, leading to a nice dent right at the back. Thankfully it's only the plastic panel that's been damaged but it's a mess and I need to get a replacement. I'm posting here to see if anyone can suggest a more economical way of getting this fixed than going to my local approved Nissan dealer and parting with nearly £400 + labour just for the one part? I'm not looking for any funky custom kits, just a plain replacement (in silver). Also, if anyone has any suggestions for names that I can call my mate for putting a wall in such a stupid place then they'd be welcome too! I reckon I probably used most of them already on Saturday though! Hope you can help. Any advice gratefully received. Cheers Quote
Removed Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 first of all. some of these parts crop up on ebay every once in a while when people upgrade to other bodykits etc. Also, you can try and ask Funkystyling if they have a second hand side skirt they can sell you (they source second hand parts for the Z, just PM them), or whoever else on here for that matter Good luck!

350Znismo Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Or could you upgrade to the Nismo side skirts (on Ebay at £80 a set) It could be you upgrade and end up with a better looking car. Quote
Liam's Z Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I have original side skirts in Kuro!!! Could probably get them sprayed!!! Pm me with an offer Quote
seedy Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I have a pair or kuro ones too. If anybody wants them they can have them for free , as long as they come to collect them . Its a bit of a problem getting them anywhere as the box don't fit in the car. I'm up by middlesbrough Quote
JohanVee Posted April 25, 2006 Author Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks to you all for your replies. I knew I'd get more help here than from Nissan Looks like you be a life saver Seedy! I'll contact you shortly to see if I can work something out. Can't do it now though as I'm on a tight leash at work! Cheers Quote
steve666666 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 How badly damaged is it because I work in a body shop and if it's not too bad I could give you a qoute on repairing and painting it, all you would have to do send me a pic of it and I will see what I can do and it would be alot cheaper than nissan.
