HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi everyone, I planned on getting my underside side spats and splash guards sprayed in GM but it's now been delayed I'm unable to remove the securing screws, as the thread is completely worn! I really don't know how I'm going to get them off now and I was so excited in getting these done tomorrow! Any suggestions? An alternative is wrapping the guards and underside side spat in carbon fibre, but would that look odd? I bought the spats off Buster, his Ginger Ninja is attached below (I hope you don't mind me using your car image!): Now this is a side image of my Zed: What you guys think of having them wrapped in carbon fibre instead to match my B-pillars? Many thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 which screws cant you get to move m8. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 which screws cant you get to move m8. ? They look very nice with the OEM splash guards, compliment each other really well! I can't remove the top screws for each guard, they are completely out of shape Unless I'm doing something wrong...? Also there is not enough space between the tyre and the splash guard to get a decent tool in to unscrew the screws that actually turn!

buster Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 mate your need to remove the rear wheels and poss the front to get a better angle on them . they are self tappers so should come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 mate your need to remove the rear wheels and poss the front to get a better angle on them . they are self tappers so should come out. I guess I'll have to get my car up on a jack and take the wheels off! I hate jacking cars up, I fear I may end up dropping it! The top screws look completely worn, are they meant to be like that? the bottom screws look fine though, they undo easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 keep at it m8.sure your get it done. Where did you get your rear spats from? I can't find them anywhere!! I'll try my best I'll let you know when I succeed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Right I've now got a set of rear Nismo N1 rear spats (thanks to Buster) and a set of rear side skirt Veilside spats (thanks to Buster again ) and I am planning to body colour my front splash guards. When I apply the rear spats, side spats and front splash guard, do you think that would look okay with a standard front bumper and boot spoiler? Thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
