I've seen a 350z I like on S2000 4U. Is it really not worth buying through them?

 

Oh its this one: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1326617.htm

hey fella,

 

if your trading in a car or still have finance then i would say dont but if its cash then they dont seem too bad.

 

i only really had trouble with the settling my outstanding finance. make sure you check everything with a fine tooth comb as i did when i got mine. check everything and dont let the salemans (steve or Mike i believe) bulling u into buying there and then. there will always be others

dont get the warrenty with them either as its a major rip off. they charge £1200 for a £475 product, i managed to get them down to £500

 

i would not deal with them again but overall i am happy with my car

 

hope that helps

Cool thanks for the info!

 

How much did you or do you reckon you can haggle from these dealers if you dont mind me asking?

 

Cheers

hi there people,

 

haven't added many more pics as the weather has been rubbish and the car is really dirty but i have added a few mods now.

 

first off i changed the centre caps for ones of my own design.

 

 

then i got my strut brace cover wrapped in carbon.

 

 

decided to put on a JWT pop charger, great noise it makes!! really pleased!!

 

then after that i got a scorpion cat back with Japspeed Y-Pipe for a very good price. (thanks Steve)

 

 

 

 

 

 

i cleaned it up and got it installed.

 

also got some carbon B pillar covers.

 

 

put a new gear knob on as the other was worn!! (but having cleaned it up, now its off the car it looks really good, DOH!!)

 

and all important!!

 

 

i would love to get a full remap but saving for a house means its a no go at the moment!!

 

i really need to give her a really good clean. i have just done alot of motorway miles so there is no point at the moment. next week i will properly clean her!!

 

all comment are welcome

 

thanks for looking

[sparky370z]

[marzman]

sorry they didnt upload!!!!

They look mint! Are they what you did with mine? How did you do them?

[sparky370z]

the one i bought from your good self, were for the smaller wheels and didnt fit my Rays.

 

all i did was drill out the plastic on the back and then remove the nissan burger. and then just stick the emblems on the cleaned up fascia. SIMPLES

[MrLizard]

exhaust sounds great m8

[sparky370z]

with the new wheels on and cleaned, and the car had a quick wash too.

Looks good pal

 

 

Scorpion sounds awesome as usual too!!

[spursmaddave]

Superb shine mate

 

Get some back to black stuff or whatever for the front grill and bit at the bottom of the bumper though

 

Those wheels look great, I looked at them so many times....

 

Watch the curbs on those sticky out bits though

yeah, i realised that once i had uploaded the photos. i might wrap it.

 

doesnt look to bad on the car. but it just needs a clean lol.

 

and yeah the sticky out bits are a pain. i need to get them refurbed.

[Woody]

Very nice bud. Suits them well

[sparky370z]

well, after a few months of being off the the road, i decided i couldnt bare it any longer.....

 

so i got her Taxed, mot'd and serviced at Abbey.

 

i had a few bits i needed to put on and gave her clean.

 

took a few pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so first was the Nismo gear knob and Nardi Handbrake, also installed my D1-Spec Throttle Controller.

 

 

 

 

and also eventually installed my Nismo valve caps

 

 

the throttle controller is awesome. in SP7 the difference is amazing. will see what ecomode does for a long motorway journey.

 

hope you like

[spursmaddave]

I particularly like you gear knob, handbrake and gaiters..... but I would as I have the exact same ones You have very good taste sir

[Will370z]

car looks great there, lovely job.

 

Great photos

[MK-Ultra]

Looks real nice mate, gotta get some gaitors soon. Love the handbrake and gearknob

[sparky370z]

fitting the handbrake cover was a right PITA.

 

modding it was not too bad with the dremel, made a neat job of it.

 

had to sand down the handbrake shaft, to round it out so that the cover fits. took a while but got there in the end.

 

the throttle controller is awesome.

 

now got my Nismo skirts and V1 spoiler to fit now.

[DoogyRev]

Looks great Sparky
