ug45cwb Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Decided to keep my Z for another year or so and give it some bling. As I'm a complete newb I thought the front bumper reflectors would be a safe and gentle way to start. I like the clear OEM ones on z-store. Are these hard to fit? What tools will I need? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAP350Z Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Having taken off the bumper, it's a simple task to take off the wheel arch liners as well. Once the wheel arch liner is off you can change the front indicator bulbs from orange to crown silvered. (See here, but there are other companies - http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... odID=52189) Two quick and easy mod's at the same time.

ug45cwb Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Not sure about taking the bumper off. I would almost certainly screw the pooch one way or another during the process. What about fitting a rear diffuser? That a bodyshop job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Depends on which one! Not a bumper off really, more of a wheels off and arch liner removed... easy job really... jack up, wheel off, remove arch liner (1 screw and 4 pop clips) remove oem with a short phillips (2 screws) and defit with the white ones... arch on, wheel back on, stand back, drink tea, smoke fag (delete if irelelvant) admire your work!

srobrien Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I changed mine without removing the bumper, bit of squeeze though and you need to remove front wheels and arch liners. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean you'll have access to all the other bulbs too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dene8 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I changed mine without removing the bumper, bit of squeeze though and you need to remove front wheels and arch liners. R I managed to leave my wheels on but the liners had to be part removed Only took 5mins or so per side.......... Never had a car where changing the bulbs was so much of a pain!!

Neutreus Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hmmm, perhaps I did it the long way round. I took the bumper off completely to do this. Took about an hour but kinda felt like I should have done more than just change the reflectors after all that effort, but it looks much better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
