shire350Z Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Well after losing my job i cant really afford a new bumper so ill just be respraying my front end!!! But the dilemma is do i have the bumper sprayed just before wales so its looking or do i wait till after so i dont get sprayed by stone chips from you lot like last year just after it had been sprayed Theres not many at all really, but i cant stand having one never mind dozen, spent 7 hours cleaning it 2day (2 1/2hours in the engine bay alone starting the process of getting it gleaming for the spring ) and found a couple of marks on the passenger door to Quote
Stew Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I went for after James as it might as well be gleaming for attending static shows! No point it being chipped for them mate! Quote
Chris`I Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I went for after James as it might as well be gleaming for attending static shows! No point it being chipped for them mate! +1 - Wales is for driving, shows are for sparklie paint and polished bits Quote
Beavis Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I am a before man James, i think wales is also a good showcase event as well, give the guy infront a little more space. Quote
M350ZB Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I am a before man James, i think wales is also a good showcase event as well, give the guy infront a little more space. +1, the biggest 350z-uk event Quote
Muddy Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 After for me James, let it get stone chipped in wales and then you can enjoy the static shows more throughout the year. Pop it round and I'll machine polish the front bumper before Wales Quote
Pimm Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Do it before so we can all see it in it's former glory. You are going to get stone chips again at some point anyway Quote
shire350Z Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 well ten for after two before its looking likely to be done after wales!!! it was mike last time up the hill under the bridge that really coated me, you git only problem is theres a few shows before wales so undecided yet Can i book you in buddy maybe the beginning of wales or just before the donny show to give me that detail is your number still starting in 07887...... if not would you send me your new number cheers plus if theres any shows your attending craig and want to make your Z look even better get me on the stand next to ya Quote
GIXXERUK Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 after imo, if you get it done before it will ruin you enjoying the day, cringing everytime you see gravel Quote
Ekona Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 It's a car, stop worrying and get out there and drive it! Get it done before, as it's only going to get chipped to buggery anyway and it might as well get chips from fun driving with friends than from dull runs up and down the motorway. Quote
martinmac Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 After, because mine is getting done before Wales Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 dude... why dont u save the money... as u said youve lost your job and u never know when that money might be handy in the future?? -ho Quote
M13KYF Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 gone for before shire. I thought you liked my pebble dashing on a serious note, the only bad bit with stones was the dual carriageway back to the end of the M56 where we go up a long hill. The same point where on the journey there to Bala their was some people in a lay by taking photos Quote
shire350Z Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 i aint worrying ekona just love my car looking immaculate all the time !!!! ill just see closer to the time hwo bad it looks Quote
Ekona Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Tbh unless you've got the money to get the front done and then get the whole lot covered in Ventureshield (or similar) then you'll just be in the same position next year. I'm leaving mine until I can either afford to do that, or just before I sell the car. Quote
shire350Z Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 thats is what i do every year just have the front bumper sprayed!! doesnt cost that much always use the same bodyshop and transforms the car !!! Quote
shire350Z Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 what just for the front bumper martin??! when it going in ?? well with the ISTS in april might just have to have it done before then just hope its not snowing like last year and we get alot better spot Quote
martinmac Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Taking it down to Leicester next Thursday bud. Just the front bumper. it looks awful at the moment. Quote
