ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 thanks guys... well Torque-GT found it for me. I gave them a list of my specification and colour options, originally i said blue or yellow and had to have brembo's. Then i found a picture of a white one on one of the forums, and had to have a white one! So 4 days later they found one for me! and to have hardly any miles on i was so impressed!

Morg Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Lovely looking Zed, white must be the rarest colour in the Uk? You prepared for all the admiring looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well i was going to get a kit imported with the car from Japan or at least the Nismo kit, and when they sent the photos to see if i liked it, it had the kit already!! so double pleased!! can't actually believe i have a white one!! never thought that Toque-GT would pull it off!! Well i have a Hartge MINI cooper S at the moment, we won Modified Mini of the year so am used to the looks - am actually dropping 10 bhp going to the Zed! I have just got Bee*R wheels in white thinking about coilovers or springs too - definitely want to lower the ride without compromising comfort - any recommendations?

Sarnie Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Very nice car!! Almost as nice as my yellow! Ahem You gonna get a rear spoiler for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireZ Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks for all your comments. I really want the Nismo MK2 spoiler but pearly paint it soooooo expensive, it has 3 layers! I have to buy a minimum of 1/4 litre paint and because it is a 3 stage paint i have to buy 1/4 litre of each totalling £80+ this would probably be just enough for the wing! My partner has an S15 in the same colour, and its a real hassle! It really depends on how the current little lip spoiler fits and if when it comes off it takes the clear coat off with it and where the new one attaches! Anyone know?

stuey Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 removing the lip spoiler is pot luck on the paint damage front ....... its the adheasive on the sticky tape that eats into the paint.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hya Claire, I must admit I never ever like white cars, just dont look right, have never ever seen a white 350z, didnt know it existed but.................. From your pics I absolutely love it, looks bloody awesome Not in a million years would I thought that a white 350z looks this nice. I think it will be one of the few if that in U.K. Hats off to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireZ Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thankyou! I can't believe i've never actually driven one yet! I'm a real fan of white cars...not too sure how the pearl will look in real life but we shall see! Our neighbours will think we're strange....2 Nissans both in pearl white!

nixy Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi there Claire - at last, more girls on the forum! I'm also awaiting mine from Japan but have only just bought it so a long while yet! White is definitely the new black and i saw quite a few when I was looking for mine, obviously very popular with the japanese. I love it but wasn't brave enough! Bet you can't wait to get it!

Removed Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 PPW in the flesh looks really really good. I've seen a couple of Zeds in that colour in the flesh and they look the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
