SunsetZ Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi there. Had my Z just over three weeks now, although its been at the dealers the past two weeks geting faults sorted. Cant wait to get it back again, I'm missing it already. I had a Renaultsport Megane 225 before so its been a bit different getting behind the wheel of a rear wheel drive car. Here are a few pics I managed to get before it went back to the dealers.... The day I picked it up..... The old Megane...... Probably going to need some advice over the next few months once I get the Z back. I'm looking at doing the following for starters..... Replace Bose headunit with my Pioneer Bluetooth and install amp and sub. Induction Kit. Grounding Kit. Replacement badges. Cheers, Bruce.

SunsetZ Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Welcome dude A 56 plate car was an 'old' car??? You must of lost loads on that? Lost £1000 in 6 months. Bought it off the internet for £14,500 last September brand new direct from Renault. Nissan offered me £13,500 trade in against the 350z. Quite happy with that. Got the megane £5,000 less than the dealers price new. They're a real bargain really. £20,000 motor for £14,500. I spent £500 on it mind getting it remapped. Bit sad to see it go really, but I've always wanted a 350z and couldn't really turn down a good deal. Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 welcome mate Good choice in colour ...unbiased opinion. Z badges, check Funkystyling or Ebay US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunsetZ Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 welcome mate Good choice in colour ...unbiased opinion. Z badges, check Funkystyling or Ebay US I've been looking around at the different Z badges. Still undecided on which ones to go for. I like the Z badge with the black background for the fron and maybe the satin Z badge for the rear. I'll make my mind up once I get the car back. Bruce.

rmmackfc Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 There are a few choices out there. FYI Satin is the closest match to the "350z" badge on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 would be concerned on how this covers the holes on the rear and would look odd with two different badges back to the old question which I was sure I had the holes on the front and not on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
