ATTAK Z Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Standard looks good Spend money on a stubby and calliper repaint in black or red Quote
V88 REG Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 spacers. then leave it. reds are rare and look great, dont spoil it. (my opinion) Quote
morgan25 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Son bought me a surprise present for xmas some black Zed badges so now it just look wrong with silver wheels and door handles. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Son bought me a surprise present for xmas some black Zed badges so now it just look wrong with silver wheels and door handles. ... is that side or front/rear badges ? Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 black and red work well together; and you can always have them repainted silver again at a later date if you had to return to stock. Quote
Woody Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Black and red allways work, but its been done to death. How about chrome dipping? May be a little chavy, I cant make my mind up Quote
morgan25 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Sorry front and back, Chrome not a chance in this life time Woody how good was the paint job on your wheels might be interested in getting the lad to do mine if he as done a good job. Quote
morgan25 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 What do you thing of this i quite like it but i would also like to see the handles in black. Quote
Woody Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Sorry front and back, Chrome not a chance in this life time Woody who good was the paint job on your wheels might be interested in getting the lad to do mine if he as done a good job. . Not too bad mate. It was worth £60. But I will be getting mine done again. Quote
morgan25 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 well i am trying to keep the standard look as much as possible but a lad on Overclockers has just done this for me and well WOW. Not totally sure about the door handle but i guess i could always get them wrapped. Quote
350ash Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I remember seeing a photo of a red 350 with the standard touring wheels painted white and I thought it looked really good. I don't know if it would work with the rays as well but I think it might. Quote
JetSet Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Looks better left as it is. Try paintshopping some other colours though . Black is good with Blue and Sunset but to me not on red, sorry Pete Quote
TADDY Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 looks good, hes lowerd it for you aswell hasn't he like 350ash says white mite work well but spacers and springs will deffo set it off nicely Quote
morgan25 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah he as lowered it to but the only other problem is i feel like am a little bit past it for mods at the ripe old age of 42. That is one of the reasons i want to try and keep it as standard as possible. Quote
buster Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah he as lowered it to but the only other problem is i feel like am a little bit past it for mods at the ripe old age of 42. That is one of the reasons i want to try and keep it as standard as possible. christ i am 45 so there no hope for me then personally i dont do standard i agree with those who said black wheels have been done to death now.did mind over a year ago with sunset lip.i am now thinking of colour coding the handle to body colour instead of the present black.

TADDY Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah he as lowered it to but the only other problem is i feel like am a little bit past it for mods at the ripe old age of 42. That is one of the reasons i want to try and keep it as standard as possible. imo a few subtle mods can transform a car without it looking modified, instead i like to think that people look at your car and say "wow that looks awesome" but they cant tell you why it looks any better than another 350 because they cant spot what youve done. If you follow the method in my madness Quote
shunter Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 I've got to admit I like it stock - the black and red's nice, but stick to original.. looks fantastic. I'd spend the money on getting the calipers painted red (in fact saw these for sale on here a while ago http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w204 ... 0_6744.jpg ). Quote
morgan25 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 i would go colour coded on the handles but Rosso Red is a very hard colour to match. i was thinking this colour with 20/25mm spacers and leaving at that. http://keynissan.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/350z-nismo-006.jpg or i dont suppose anyone knows the colour code for these two?

buster Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 i would go colour coded on the handles but Rosso Red is a very hard colour to match. i was thinking this colour with 20/25mm spacers and leaving at that. agreed that colour match can be a problem and black is easier but as Taddy said sutle different mods make all the differents. spacers make the standard wheel transform immensely.really help fill the arches.Before fitting them to my zed i pondered about replacing them but once i d painted the wheels and refitted with spacers i am more than happy with em.
