370Ad Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Looks like the colour isnt a great match! Quote
Wasso Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 The reason it don't match is he's used Z18 paint code B17 should have been used. In fact Z18 doesn't even exist for the Zed. Lets just say its been painted blue and will need to be fixed!! Quote
370Ad Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) The reason it don't match is he's used Z18 paint code B17 should have been used. In fact Z18 doesn't even exist for the Zed. Lets just say its been painted blue and will need to be fixed!! I messaged him, apparently the front of his car was resprayed so that's why the colour is off.... The front bumper matches the paint colour exactly on the rear which is standard Nissan paint. But he wont give me a detailed picture of the bumper next to the car......! I am walking away.....

Wasso Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 You can always re-paint it? But be careful with who paints it for you! Quote
paddytabby Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I mailed him about it to ask if he could guarantee it was a Nismo part. He replied saying he was not sure if it had a Nismo stamp but he bought it as a genuine part. He also said it cost him double the buy it now price which would be £1000??? Its not worth buying it if its not genuine, So unless i get a photo of the Nismo stamp i wont be bidding. Quote
370Ad Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) And now he i saying it is B17.... It doesn't have a nismo stamp! Edited November 21, 2012 by 350Ad Quote
Wasso Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I'd leave it alone at that price. Tell him £200 and that's all it's worth! Quote
rodgeevans Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 No nismo sticker under the resin on inside not nismo im affraid Quote
wizard Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 V2 with canards is the best for the zed IMO. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Not mine and I didn't realise you wanted a v2. Quote
paddytabby Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Did anyone from here buy it? Would be interesting to know if it was a real Nismo part!! Quote
smudgedon Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I asked him twice if it was genuine and never got a response so my bet is no... Quote
paddytabby Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 If its not genuine who ever bought it over payed for a 2nd hand copy Quote
370Ad Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 He said to me no Nismo sticker and the paint isn't a great match for Azure so yes definitely over the odds! Quote

No proof of it being genuine and 1 bad photo.... Who ever buys please let me know if it was genuine Quote
Aust350z Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 "Back painted black to protect it". Screams replica to me based on production of replica pieces in the US. Quote
Daryl Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Why has the guy not got any pictures of it off the car after he has fitted it? Like in his garage or something, dont understand why he only has 1 picture, and its when the part was in the body shop. Smells abit fishy to me. Quote
paddytabby Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Yep, very fishy! I want a nismo v2 front bumper and would be willing to pay a lot more as £200. I have emailed him a few times trying to get proof of it being genuine but with no luck. I know if i owned it i would make sure there was some sort of proof to get the money its worth. Again be carefully any one interested! Quote
rodgeevans Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Surely even if the back is sprayed black the nismo sticker is under the resin so it could just be sanded back in the middle of the bumper to reveal if there is a sticker to prove it is genuine or not Quote
4RE Leather Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 If you do get it and have it painted get it done on the car. Dont just take the bumper on it's own without the car as they never match up. I did this with my pathfinder and supplied the part and the paint code. The Pathfinder was 2 years old and had lightened a shade I presume down to the sun. It was down to me and I had to have it redone at my expense. I leant that lesson the hard way. Quote
