Revsport Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 My Car is back and its sitting outside my house right now.........and the reason for that is because its too low to get in the driveway I will take pics after i clean it and flatten and polish the paint but if i say so myself it looks sweet. I didnt spray the carbon wings yet as i may get a carbon hood but when i post you guys can make your mind up if it looks ok. All I need now is the suspension set up and its back in action Lew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife has seen the threads and says at least i am not the only idiot! Hi Flavius, What I can tell you is that some people from the Z community that have had the same problem have had some success by speaking to the council - if it's a public owned pavement. Not sure how it works but well worth looking into. I'm sure someone will be along in a bit that can help. Would have done it myself but I'm renting at the mo.

The wife has seen the threads and says at least i am not the only idiot! I know how you feel, I once had a Merc 300CE I lowered and put huge rims on with low profile tyres, my drive where I used to live was very steep to get out of ,as in, it dropped down about 6 feet in 10yards ! I couldnt get the car out with the mods on and had to take them all off again ,untill I had the drive altered You can imagine what the other half made of all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Only issue I have is the short ramp/kerb up to the drive. If taken slowly its fine, butat more than 5mph and you will scrape the front, at 10mph I can scrape the front of my standard mk-IV golf.

Revsport Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 There were a few wee dings scratches and bad nissan paint parts lol. Mostly stone chips. Just for a better blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lew, Did you consider painting it a non-Zed colour to make it a bit more unique ? The second last pic, ie the indoor one, makes the blue look a lot darker than Azure - looks good like that ! Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revsport Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was going to go for house of colour Cobalt Blue but I love the Azure too much. plus its alot less hassle ifti need to spray out any scratches in the future. Nissan paint is expensive at £40 per L House of colour cobalt costs £400 plus you need to spray a full section for house of colour candy.
