nurrish Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Just put these on I think they look quite good on grey and compliment my other carbon bits. I know these are quite controversial but i like. Obviously my next mod will be the bonnet. just need to save my pennies Now to the bad news i slipped on making a cut on the right one any idea on what i can do to cover it up? Cheapest way? Quote

Adriank Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 How comes you used silver screws, and not just bond it on, would of looked better bonded IMO. As to the scratch, theres a guide on here somewhere to filling scratchs like this using a touch up stick from the dealer and some sandpaper. This could help it look a lot better at least! Quote

I tried to bond first but the ducts weren't exactly lining up to be an even fit (if one side was down the other side was way up). I could bond then screw then take out the screws. Thanks for the tip for the scratch Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Would look a lot cleaner without the screws… Quote
Ian Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Dont like the dual ducts sorry Paint the screws black Quote
martinmac Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I had mine put in by Phil and he used screws, black ones though. He told me its the only way to get a flush fit. Quote

Digsy Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I can't quite work out why you've gone for dual ducts when you've only got one intake... Quote
nurrish Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Just ordered some touch up paint. going to try painting the screws to match the grey. To digsy - I know its of no use and is pointless but i like it and it keeps things symmetrical Quote
M13KYF Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 sorry but I don't like it each to their own Quote
nurrish Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 I understood these were controversial before undertaking the work....Now they are in and im getting black headed screws today i stand by my decision on installing them. It would be boring if we all did the same mods dont you think????? Quote

martinmac Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Pics with black screws in here. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ht=#270096 Quote
Cara Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 It's growing on me the more I look at the pics, although I do think the silver screws look out of place - black much better. I also think it would suit well with a carbon fibre bonnet Quote
