shire350Z Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Love the way ive got my Z looking!! But with it being a new year and shows coming up plus the notorious Wales run thinking i should maybe change it a little ( not to much mind ) Was thinking maybe just a front bumper change maybe a Nismo V2 with carbon lip or something diff any idea?!!! Nothing to over the top as it wont suit the car as you can see! pics of ppl's cars would be handy How my Z looks at the moment if anyones forgot Quote
Beavis Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Were these taken in this country? only i dont remember seeing the sun for 2 years. Quote
shire350Z Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 Also has anyone fitted the latest bonnet with the buldge in? thinking maybe to swap mine for one of these if its a straight swap Quote
clarkie34 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 What about just fitting a carbon lip. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Also has anyone fitted the latest bonnet with the buldge in? thinking maybe to swap mine for one of these if its a straight swap Its a straight swap but you may be better off (in the wallet) going for an after market one.... Paul has a carbon one that could do with a spray.... Quote
S1 HNK Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 i think the problem with the nismo v2 is that the splitter part sticks out quite far and then can make the rest of the car out of proportion hence the need for side skirts and a rear valance / spats. I like the way your car is not over done mate but i know its difficult to leave them alone once you've started! I reckon just a front lip would look good, personally i think the carbon veilside v1 would look very cool on yours without looking over the top...but i would say that just my two pennies worth, anywho!

Very cool. Quote
shire350Z Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 not my cup of tea that mate, think it looks like it needs skirts with it more than the nismo V2 bumper does!! who has a bumper for sale mark?! like that front lip wayne but bet there more expensive than i new V2 bumper Quote
clarkie34 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Think Mark was on about a bonnet that Paul was selling. I can't remember what Phil charged me for lip,was less than £400 though. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 yeah ment bonnet sorry paul = P15ULT Loving that Ultra Yellow with the Work's would suit a black roof too ! Quote
shire350Z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 i think that v1 nismo lip would look worse on mine without skirts than a V2 bumper would to be honest!! mine could always put skirts on but like the way it is was just thinking something a little different!!! Who would sell the bumpers now apart from Envy?! i need some new contacts at the right money now phils gone Quote

shire350Z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 whats the difference of that from bumper then with a nismo V1 ?! Quote
Beavis Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 whats the difference of that from bumper then with a nismo V1 ?! Its a replica but made out of urethane instead of fibeglass but no recess for the badge and probably a lot cheaper. Quote
shire350Z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 cheers beavis it looks really nice on the black Z but dont think the V1 would suit my car going on these pics http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18310 not that theres anything wrong with verma's car looks nice suited with his but on my car i prefer how my the bumper looks, thats why i was thinking maybe V2 wheres rob (h5) he's got one fitted Quote
Ian Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I'd just go for a carbon lip & get the nissan badge shaved Quote
shire350Z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 like a varis front lip and smooth the badge out?! i quite like the badge being a Z carbon one plus matches the sides and rears! i struggle sometimes with clearance so dont know wether to risk a carbon lip, decisions decisions Quote

It looks a bit cluttered with the carbon duct & a badge Quote
shire350Z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 i i another black roof they cropping up everywhere now Quote
shire350Z Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 This a nice bumper the Shine N2 but there again might not look quite right with mine! http://www.z-store.co.uk/product/put_pi ... a5_818.jpg Quote
GIXXERUK Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 not a fan of the front de-badged, looks as though its had a crash and not been put back imo the v2 would look good on yours jay imo Quote
Jay Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I dnt like the v2 m8 lol! I am really happy with the way my car has turned out Quote
