gareth29 Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Just about to replace the ns wing and the one i've bought doesnt have a hole for the side indicator repeater, not sure why. Is it likely to fail an mot on this? Quote
lmc Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Im not an mot tester but know for a fact that it will as i had the same situation on a different car a few years ago. Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 can you not just drill a hole for it? if you do just remember to put a little paint on the sides of the hole to stop it rusting Quote
gareth29 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Posted May 26, 2013 thanks you two, if it was just a case a drilling one hole, i would have done it but its oval so its a jigsaw job i think - didnt want to butcher the new panel if i could avoid it Quote
gsexr Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Make a template from the other side and then drill some some small holes to remove most of it and then file to finish. Take your time to not distort the panel. Quote
gareth29 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 cheers for the help, think i will follow your advice - the jigsaw might make a mess if it snatches Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Dremel + cutting disc + steady hand + patience = job done Quote
KyleR Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Or buy the 370z indicators which are integrated into the Z emblem I believe. No drilling, no filing, no mess... Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Or buy the 370z indicators which are integrated into the Z emblem I believe. No drilling, no filing, no mess... You'll still need to cut a hole for the wiring tho, as the 350Z emblem is stuck into the recess. Plus, the OP will need to fill the indicator hole on the other side Quote

gareth29 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 mmm, the 370z ones look nice,but need a big hole for all the gubbins behind the light and theyre £30 quid each - on ebay and i've already bought a 350z one - which looks pathetic value at £19, basically just the lens, from the stealership (been wanting to use that word). dremel would be good, but i'd need to get one. thanks for all the help Quote
