LRF4N Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Looking good mate. Il never get tired of seeing black mesh with a black centre on the bumper, the zed suits it so well Black badge? Quote
thetranquilbass Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Cheers guys. Wheels will be left until they need a refurb which will probably be next year. As for black badge, not quite but am thinking of replacing the standard nissan badge with one of the side Z emblem badges (with the same on the back). Quote
thetranquilbass Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Okay bit of a thread revival, as getting close to putting the car in to the bodyshop yet again. Had Alex from Kennedy Coachworks come and visit me at home this morning to have a look over the car and agree on price for a bit of an overhaul. As the car is a little over 6.5 years old now will be going in for a full respray, with the hope that I might have matching panels as at present they are all slightly different with only two matching. I will be retaining the original Temper Orange colour. The work will include the fitting of my new Nismo V3 front bumper and side skirts, which have been sat in the box since delivery from Tarmac last tear, together with a repair of the Chargespeed rear end (some minor spider cracking around the taillights). Included in the price will be a refurb of the Volks alloys as well. The alloys are in good condition but the price quoted seems daft not to include them as part of the overall deal, although admittedly am stuck between either going for a shadow chrome or hyper silver finish. Just need to find a suitable date to get the car in with them which unfortunately is governed by work commitments but hope that I will have the car finished by the end of March at the latest, if not sooner (although this could be dictated by the weather). I hope that they will provide me with photographs during the process and will post up as and when these become available. Quote
Payco Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Like this z a lot, who wouldnt. Will be watching the bodyshop photo build thread with interest. Payco Quote
evilscorp Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 NOOOO! your car/bodykit is so nice at the moment mate Quote
thetranquilbass Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 It definitely needs a respray, am keeping it the same colour but have wanted the Nismo v3 front end since I first got the car so took the plunge. Hoping for something along the lines of below, but only the centre parts of the grill in a dark colour, lower part of splitter will be in body colour 1 Quote
hensh65 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 This is going to look sooo sweet, and won't look as similar to mine Quote
Vik54 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Looking good Chris Edited January 24, 2014 by Vik54 Quote
hensh65 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Just noticed this is in the styling section, not speak to Gman and get it moved to member build projects? OCD kicking in Quote
thetranquilbass Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Wouldn't classify it as a build thread as its just external cosmetic work, hence styling seemed the most appropriate place. If our kind moderators deem otherwise it is at their discretion as to whether it is moved. Quote
wls350 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Is going to be awesome, good luck and be patient because once that's all done it's gonna be one of the best out there Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 It's gonna look awesome chris I can't wait to see it Quote

Suppose you havent mentioned that Quote

HoundDog Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Very nice indeed fantastic looking car. Quote

evilscorp Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I don't like the V3 but. . . . Wow that looks amazing! I think you are just lucky with your colour being so dam nice, it makes ugly stuff look like Jessica Alba. Quote
Brummiestormer Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 As a fellow Temper owner i'm looking forward to seeing this Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Car was dropped off at the body shop this morning, now the agonising wait for the work to be done. Am hoping I'll receive some photos during the process and will post up if and when they become available Quote
Jay Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Ohh nice one mate! How long is it at the shop for? Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 About time! I've been waiting for this to be fitted for what feels like years it's going to look awesome chris Quote
hensh65 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Maybe when its done you can move this thread to member build projects you have probably spent more than the guys with SC zeds without having really touched the engine Quote
