Ive just read your thread, im loving thr attention to detail and all the hard work.

 

Can you tell me who did yiur carbon skinning? I want to get several items done.

 

Cheers

 

Lee

 

Apologies mate, another post I missed 😳. Not sure I would recommend the company as the finish isn't the best. I got a good deal at the time for getting quite a bit done at once. I'm currently dealing with a company called Argon Creative who make custom carbon parts, they also do some skinning. They seem like a far superior company, but obviously that will be reflected in the cost.

Hi mate, not that I know of at the moment. I haven't done much, have a couple of things in the pipeline which should've been completed last year but I was let down, hopefully should be done by the next meet 😉.

 

Good choice of new car by the way 😂

Been a while since I've put anything on here, so here's the latest update. Managed to pick this up for peanuts off fleabay

Thought it would be fun to try something different. After spending ages looking online for ideas I ended up keeping it quite simple

 

Had to remove the lights

Then the original bumper

Then add this

Not 100% convinced I've got it right, but it'll do for now, I can always put the original back on

New to the site, and z cars. I’ve never liked the convertible 370z, that was until now! What an absolutely beautiful job you’ve done, it looks fantastic. Definitely top 5 of all 370z ‘s I have seen. Great job

hi, dave are you still modding that white car for me, my two favourite cars at the moment are my yellow one and yours, maybe I should buy yours for my wife as its an auto?:thumbs:

Hi mate, how you doing? Ha ha, can’t knock you for persIstence :lol:. No, not done anything to it for a while, tbh it hasn’t been out of the garage for months, have had other things on the go - including a grandchild which is time consuming! I almost feel like I need to have a drive up to Glasgow one day so you (and your wife) can have a look in the flesh :thumbs:

Well, it’s been a long time since I added anything to this thread, mainly because I’ve not really used the car much this year. If you’ve read this full build thread you will know I had a bit of a carbon fest a while back and had loads of bits done, one of which was the steering wheel. Now, I loved the look of it but unfortunately the finish of the Carbon sections weren’t really the best (rough edges where it meets the leather). Having picked up a spare steering wheel off R35lee earlier this year I finally got round to having it retrimmed at Royal steering wheels. I decided to go with perforated leather and Alcantara, just for a change. It’s actually a bit thicker then stock and feels really nice.

Can’t believe I’ve not updated this thread in ages, the poor old girl didn’t get out much last year (for a variety of reasons) and is yet to make an appearance this year so far. Bit of a special day last time she came out

I posted a while ago on another thread about wanting to add a rear spoiler, but couldn’t decide what style to go for. It’s taken a while to a) make a decision and b) finally get the work done. I managed to pick up a genuine Nissan spoiler off fleabay for peanuts, which turned out to be cracked down one of the support legs. The seller refunded half my money, so it cost virtually nothing - result:D.

There was quite a bit of work to get it blended in, but I think it was worth the effort
