350Znismo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well my new side skirts have arrived, also my rear lower valance wrap (West Wing) for my rear bumper. The question is anyone got a guide price I should pay for painting and fitting. I also have a rear UK bumper to fit the lower valance too so the whole rear bumper will need painting.

Removed Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 hi mate when i got mine donw it was £500 from Steve-B, but he hasn't got a bodyshop. You'd probably expect to pay a bit more than that, including the rear bumper. PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_MSM Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I paid £620 for front valance, side skirts and rear valance to be fitted & painted to a good standard. As Val says anywhere between £500-700 is about right for a decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thing with my last car which was an MR2 roadster. The "approved" repairer did a poor job... bits all in the paint, the bumper didnt fit properly, neither did the rear light cluster, areas on the bumper where not fully sprayed with paint.. and they got silver paint all over black plastic trim, their solution to this was to rub it down and spray it black. They had it 3 times to sort it out, and never put things right. In fact everytime they had it back they fcked something else up. In the end I took it to a place that wasnt an approved repairer and they did a top job. Makes you wonder how on earth some of these places get to be an approved repairer... I would imagine it all comes down to price rather than quality of the workmanship. Overall it took from March to Nov/Dec to sort it all out.. and the damage to the car was only minor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Just be carfel buying Nismo kit off ebay. 99% of them are Nismo Like and are copies. There fit may not be very good and more time will be needed to fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Also, if you do import from the US, remember that the US spoiler does not cover the holes that the OEM spoiler leaves Hence you need to get a Jap one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milner Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 thanx guys..........i'll look into it some more, but the one off ebay is apparently genuine Nismo, in boxs from Middlehurst Motorsport who are a Nissan dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Yes if it's that one it's the genuine article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your prepared to pay them £1900 for it, go for it. Just beware that that price will be just for the kit. add to that painting and fitting etc = $$$$$$$$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milner Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 any idea how much the kit is worth then? and can i source it from elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 If you want a good place near you then try Xquisite Automotive and speak to K and tell him I sent you. Does awesome work and my car will be going in there in the next couple of weeks and he's only in West Molesey (Near Hampton Court) so not a million miles from you.

M13KYF Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 any idea how much the kit is worth then? and can i source it from elsewhere? Might be worth trying Mr.F. Don't know if he'll be able to source one for you and also you can get discount with him See the link http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2744 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
