stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Think my rear end needs something. Dont really want to go the whole hog and get a bumper. How about a diffuser.Would it look right or just like a bit stuck on?i.e does it need the spats as opposed to the mud flap things that are on it already? All opinions welcome. Sorry for poor quality photo. Quote
Neilp Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I'd go for the nismo spats to keep the lines flowing. Gorgeous looking car you have though. Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Heres a better pic of the rear. I would be grateful if someome could tell me what exhaust I have. I know its an Invidia but not sure which model,It has two seperate tail pipes. Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks Neil, BTW I have spacers waiting to be fitted.lol Quote
Neilp Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Unless you roll your arches they will rub. I have the same wheels etc and theres no room for spacers. Maybe 10mm at a push but I reckon the rears will still hit. I'd also paint the bungs in the k1 black or remove them as I think they waste the look of the exhaust, as, whats the point of having huge cans with a tiny little hole coming out of it? Thats what a normal punter would think. Of course we know the reason but I would paint them black to disguise them Quote
glrnet Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Maybe a little bumper tuck to start things off ? I assume it hasn't got one, hard to tell from that photo angle Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Errrrr.Whats a bumper tuck??? So its an Invidia K1 exhaust.Yes it's a bit too loud for my middle aged ears TBH. I like the idea of painting the bungs black though Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Right,after using the search button I now know what a bumper tuck is. The idea is that it shows off your zorst? But I have two tailpipes so i would be showing off fresh air. Also been out to check and my zorst has a metal plate with the word Invidia lazer cut into it.Using the search again I found that the K1 is made by Japspeed??? One confused newbie! Quote

Invidia also made a k1 and so did ESR. Japspeed version is junk. The original k1 was made by ESR i'm sure Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Ahh I see.Thanks for that Neil. This does look like a good quality bit of kit. Quote
buster Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 nismo rear spats all the way m8. just for you.... Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Nice Zed! Personally I think your right though, it needs something more at the rear. I think the worst thing about the Zed is it's high rear end, and in my opinion a bumper tuck only makes it worse (waits to be flamed) especially if you have side skirts. There are a few options for add-ons such as defusers that I think finishes it off nicely. I have a Speed racing rear Apron/defuser, not to everyone's taste but I really like it, and a good alternative to a whole bumper change. Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Sam I do like the look of your "apron".I will have a search for some alternatives. And Bob,do you have a pic with your car side on? I think this may be the route I go down. Where would be the best place to get some? Quote

Wasso Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 As its pic whore time you could always go the whole hog for a chargespeed rear bumper Quote
stanzed Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Actually Wasso.That by far has got to be the winner It ticks all the boxes for me....except for the amount of £ it would cost. Out of curiosity how much we talking? Bought, sprayed and fitted. Quote
Wasso Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Full bumper and diffuser, including delivery fitting and painting you're looking at about £1000 - £1200 RT Performance took a copy of my bumper and I've seen 2 or 3 of those fitted. They're not 100% perfect but pretty good. I believe the RT version all in maybe £700. There are cheaper ways of shaping the rear end but I'm afraid Chargespeed is one of the most expensive options. I was like you, ticked all the boxes and saved up. Quote
R35LEE Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I have a set of genuine Nismo spats in Sunset and ready to go You can't beat genuine Nismo for quality and fitment Quote
MDMetal Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Out of interest what spats are there apart from the Nismo ones? Its generally all I see listed! Quote
