rtbiscuit Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 agree on the colour thing, red black or yellow, would have been nice, but as has been said by husky the blade silver has really grown on me! i've kind of grown to love it, in the sunlight it looks amazing when clean. and silvers ability to hide dirt for a very large amount of time is fantastic the dirt hiding is definately something you take for granted now ive given the paint enough looking after it is really starting to look spectacular. i was looking at old pictures when i bought it and you can see the difference i spent today doing a full clean, claybar, lime and prime, supernatural wax looks amazing again. last few washes over winter were short, due to bad weather and limited time. also dislike the fact that i always feel that i need to do something on it. its not like it breaks down or won't run as it ticks over a treat every time all the time. just always little things that need to be done; but i think thats more to do with the modding. once you pop, you can;t stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 My motto is 'Better to regret something you have done than something you haven't'............... but even given that, with the zed my only regret will come at the end of the summer when I've raped my bank account repeatedly for track days / upgraded brakes and drop links.............the bug has well and truly bitten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 my biggest regret is buying a 'bit of a dog', ive spent about £2k getting rid of all the dents and scratches that the previous owner has put on it and now im shitting it before about taking it to get an mot in may! its had an accident there was what looks like quite a bit of body damage which he hid and i missed because i didnt look properly so now im bricking it that theres going to be something serious! there was a crack in the front bumper, broken washer bottle, split side skirt on the bottom and the entire side skirt has been siliconed back on, had a new front drivers wing which didnt have an indicator and was a slight different colour in some light, dented drivers door, badly dented hatch lid, dented rear bumper. the thing which reassures me a bit is that all the slam panels are original and not dented and that the big alloy beams that have the polystyrene bit on them are all still in one piece and not marked! oh well lesson learned i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srobrien Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Just for the record I love GM, definitely one of the better colours for me, looks great dirty as well but looks stunning in the sun with a good polish and wax.

spursmaddave Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Only regret is I didn't knock down the price a bit more because of all the stone chips at the front, but I wanted Azure and everytime I found one it was sold before I could get to see it, had to put a deposit down on mine before the dealer even had it. If I'm completely honest I don't like sone of the attention I get, I use it as my commuter car some weeks and always get some **** behind me trying to race me. But then I think why did I buy a bright blue sports car if I didn't want attention can't have it both ways... I love the fact I see thousands of cars everyday (M25 and A20 commute) and I have only seen 3 350Zs in 6 months, all grey, 1 dark and 2 light, oops I mean GM and blade :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, hey, he did JapFest once My biggest regret was doing some mods that werent reversible, and getting my Recaro's vs retrimming the standard seats. But thats only lost me a few hundred quid on trade in and I've had so much fun with the car, club and meets that I dont care.
