fellsteruk Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 So zed is on the road for first time this year and after de-badge, front lip, nismo v1 spoiler, dipped console and about a 6 hour detail I decided to use it this week for work and although I got a lot of "nice car" two different ppl thought I was driving a porsche... Does these two cars really look alike to the average numpty? I guess most would like that but I was actually offended all I could think was "my car is japansse" lol 1 Quote
fellsteruk Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Lol honest it looks just like any other gunmetal zed Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 A smoothed front can make it more Porsche like Quote

Is it a Mazda ? Wtf ...... what was he thinking Quote

Daveyboy11 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I've had the porsche one before, to someone who doesn't know about cars I guess they are a similar shape? I also had my compared to an Audi TT which angered me greatly!! :@ Quote
LRF4N Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 When I had my zed someone I went to school with was telling everyone I had a Ferrari. How disappointed would they have been when they found out it was a Nissan Quote
