Cal's Bianco Fuji 350z - Pics P22

[Cal]

Ok, took me long enough to make a thread on here... Since I've had it, it's been had 2 'looks' or stages applied to it which I'll post up all the details and bits in posts.

 

Stage 1 - How I bought the car - Below

Stage 2 - My personal changes to my taste - Pages 1/2

Stage 3 - 2nd 'look' - Page 3 and onwards

- Respray progress Pages 13/14

 

 

Stage 1... Here's what the car looked like when I bought it back in 2010!

 

There's lots of different bits I didn't like, so I'll list my mods when I get on to posting 'Stage 2'.

Decided I hated the 3M carbon wrap splitter - so got it wrapped gloss white (the car is wrapped white)

New spoiler - hated the Impul the car came with, opted for a carbon blade Nismo v2 replica;

 

 

 

Test fit;

 

 

 

 

New badge I painted for the rear;

 

 

New side badges with carbon insert I painted;

My seats were a right mess... thank you previous owner!

 

Anyway, Gliptone Scuffmaster kit is the dogs... Not perfect, but a LOT better!

 

Pics of the damage/neglect;

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leather cleaner, agitate with nailbrush, wipe off, repeat;

 

 

Scuffmaster colour dye/top coat for repair, wipe on with sponge, dab excess off, repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leather conditioner, wipe on, dry, repeat... pleased with the results and would definitely reccommend it

 

Excess conditioner in the perforations... (white dots) will soak in.

Spoiler back from the painters

 

Painted to RAL 9016 to match the 3M Traffic White vinyl wrap of the car...

 

 

 

Test fit;

Great work on those seats compared to what they looked like before and really like the "Z" side badges you did.

Chrome bulbs front and back!

 

 

 

I then decided I hated the chrome and orange... So had the internals painted, and a clear strip added.

 

 

 

Before and after!
