LRF4N Posted June 16, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Much much better!! Looks stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetranquilbass Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share 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).

thetranquilbass Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 NOOOO! your car/bodykit is so nice at the moment mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetranquilbass Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensh65 Posted January 24, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetranquilbass Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetranquilbass Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Car was dropped off at the body shop this morning, now the agonising wait for the work to be done.

hensh65 Posted March 17, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
