thetranquilbass Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Your car will be one of the nicest on here once fitted Cheers Chris, and many thanks once again for sorting the kit out for me Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 MY GOD CHRIS THAT IS LOOKING DAMN SEXY! that front Quote
RDON Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 ohhhhhhhh so jealous! are they the 380rs side skirts and V3 front bumper? what colour id you do the grill and lip part? looks fricking ace Quote
Daryl Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Looks amazing, looking forward to seeing it all finished, bet you cant wait! Is the bonnet a slightly different shade, or it just the light? Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Yep, genuine Nismo v3 front end and matching side steps. Had the guys colour match as close as they could get to the colour of the original plastic slats that sat in the oem bumper, essentially grey of some description. Have only seen the photos provided myself so can't wait to see it in the flesh on Saturday. Am hoping it is just the light given the whole car has just been done Quote
Daryl Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Sorry, wasnt picking holes was just curious, as the V3 is probably fibreglass, so colour matching that is going to be a pain. Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Sorry, wasnt picking holes was just curious, as the V3 is probably fibreglass, so colour matching that is going to be a pain. No worries, front bumper is ABS rather than fibreglass but granted there will always be a slight differences between panels Tarmac kindly sourced everything for me from the US Quote
Daryl Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Blimey, im impressed the bumper is ABS, thought it would be fibreglass. That must have cost a pretty penny! Fair play to you, looks like you are going to be one very happy person once it is all finished Quote
Pete87 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Never seen this car but I also must admit I think it's one of the nicest UK adds I've seen well done can't wait to see pics tomorrow we'll done, I've always loved the v3 kit even the controversial rear end. Quote
LRF4N Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Stop it his heads big enough! The only reason these guys are saying this Chris is cos mine isn't here anymore Nah seriously you've done some job on this car. It's wierd how I didn't used to like temper orange, didn't think id like the wheels, wasn't sure on the v3 but when you put them all together they look epic. I think when you said v3 I thought of the rear and nearly had a heart attack Quote

Cheers Irfan, appreciate that it won't be to everyone's taste but think I've finally got the car the way I want it from an exterior perspective although rear spoiler is under consideration (which will be between the 380RS or Strosek). Not a fan of the v3 rear end either so will be staying with the chargespeed. Suspension is most likely the next target Quote
GT4 Zed Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Never thought the V3 bumper could ever look good but you sit have pulled it off with the eyelids, skirts and chargespeed all shimmering in that temper orange😎 It's going to be hard to beat this.👠Quote
Payco Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Great looking z, well done indeed. Shame you are not down south as would love to see her in the flesh. Payco Quote
parello9 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 been looking at this more and more and its a shame that youl have to put a front numberplate on it! Quote
Payco Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Retractable one would be a smart move if it can be done !! Payco 1 Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Looks lovely, looking forward to all your finished pics Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Retractable one would be a smart move if it can be done !! Payco Don't think a retractable one will work given the way the vertical slats are in the bumper, have been trying to see if I can locate a tow hook style one to avoid having to stick the plate to the bumper but haven't found anything in production, and by accounts on 350z.com folk have had to manufacture their own due to the v3 being that bit longer than standard. May end up trying to find a local machine shop that could create something along these lines but alas for the short term the number plate will be getting stuck on. Quote
parello9 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 no number plate for a bit? be a shame to ruin it with one Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Just received these from the bodyshop 1 Quote
Payco Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Looks fantastic. I know everyone says the Chargespeed is a bit OEM but its still the best rear bumper in my book. Cant wait to see more pictures over the weekend. Payco Quote
parello9 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 that looks sick!!! LOL Where did you get that z for the rear badge i want one? Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Where did you get that z for the rear badge i want one? The same as the badges that are on the front wings, have placed one front and back instead of the Z/oem burgers, front one is countersunk in the bumper Quote
