bengazzard Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 About a month or so ago some lil @*?! nicked the badge off the front of the Z.. I've gotten fed up of lookin at a crappy hole in the front and have decided to go buy some Z emblem badges.. Next problem.. Which ones?! I have a blade and Im quite tempted by the satin finish ones but it might blend in too much (at least it wont get seen by potential badge teefs so easily).. Also the black pearl looks really nice too.. Anyone got any piccies of these in situ on a blade? Courtsey sells a pair for $88.. They any cheaper in the UK? Thanks in advance! Ben Quote
M13KYF Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 you just missed out on a group buy on some Z badges Ben. Got a pair for £70 plus £2 p&p from Chris @ funkystyling I got the satin ones and they look great. Look just like the 350z badge on the back. Sarnie got a black pearl one. Don't have a photo as yet. Chris does have the chrome ones in stock. http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_deta ... =449002536 the satin and black pearl ones are more money than the chrome ones Quote
Sarnie Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I have the black pearl badge but its sitting in my garage till I can be bothered to buy this: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/ ... 4895-Z33BP Quote

Sarnie Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 What are they made of? Plastic the same as the oem ones Quote
max Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 i followed jacko last week and he has the satin ones on the back,ithought they looked prity smart. max. Quote
M13KYF Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Jacko has the shiney ones. It was me who had the satin ones Quote
bengazzard Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 Looks like its Courtsey.. Postage is gonna be a bitch tho, ah well.. will have to order a few more bits to make it worth while then.. Seen a couple of things on there.. The front reflectors for example.. Easy to fit? Im guessing the JDM ones will go on the UK Z ok? Quote
M13KYF Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 reflectors is a bumper off job guide here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=293 Quote
redzed Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 For anyone wanting badges, this is the place to go, cheap shipping too http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Car-Beyond-Store_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm Quote
M13KYF Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 you would need to pay import duty and shipping costs on top of the listed price. Quote
redzed Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I paid no import duty? No one else I know did either. Quote
Liam's Z Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 reflectors is a bumper off job guide here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=293 Thought some people had fitted these coming through the wheel arch??? Courtesy are very good 2 deal with btw Quote
Sarnie Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I paid no import duty? No one else I know did either. I've never paid any duty on stuff from there either Quote
lomoto Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I paid no import duty? No one else I know did either. I've never paid any duty on stuff from there either Sometimes your lucky 90% of the time I have never paid duty..but dont rely on not doing so every time Quote
M13KYF Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 i must be unlucky. The one time i did, i got stung Quote
redzed Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I think on something so small, you would be unlucky to pay duty but on larger items it`s perhaps a bit more common. This applies to Courtesy and whoever else you buy from overseas. Quote

This applies to Courtesy and whoever else you buy from overseas. Being small is no guarantee as regards duty , worst case for me in percentage terms was on a s/h gearknob from the States , import duty / vat + £8 handling charge nearly trebled the price Quote
M13KYF Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 size doesn't come into things. Thats what sarnie told me anyway Quote
lomoto Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 size doesn't come into things. Thats what sarnie told me anyway He would do Quote
