Hi (new here) my Z

[type g]

hey, after using the site to find out how to change the rear (fog) light, only thought it'd be polite to introduce myself. I had this imported June 07, its on a 55 plate.

 

the exterior:

 

the inside:

 

know you like your pictures hope thats good enough

[xStric9x]

Welcome buddy, you know what...i really quite like that colour

Are you thinking of putting a rear spoiler on it? I think all zeds should have at least a lip spoiler ( just the way i feel )

 

Oh and nice piccys

[martinmac]

Very mate, welcome to the forum

[Ian]

 

There cant be many if any Zeds in this colour in the UK

[type g]

thanks, yea dont see many this colour in the uk

 

not a fan of spoliers but maybe a lip if i can find someone to mix the paint colour!!

 

thanks for the welcome posts

[GC350z]

Welcome.

 

Try sourcing a prepainted lip from the US. Just a guess.

very nice, is that like a blackberry colour ? what polish are you using (looking very clean)

 

wheels look almost like a dished gt4 wheel

Welcome!!! Congratulations on the Z. It's a bit hard to see in the photo, it looks like it has the gold reflect, which would make it what the American's call, Interlargos Fire, the other similar one is Brickyard. Either way you have a rare colour and wow not seen one with the burgundyish leather before. Rays rims top it off nicely.

[Ross Mac]

Hello mate - lovely looking Z you have there! I love the burgandy leather and the paint - looks

[Trev-the-Rev]

Hi and Loving that colour.

[Ebized]

Welcome to the site and others have said, great looking car you have.

 

Looking at the interior you have 2006 UK spec, even though on a 55 plate? Do you know the date it was first registered in the country or origin?

 

Enjoy!

[mbs]

Hello &

 

love the interior

[H5]

Nice looking car. Rare combination as others have said.

Now get some P21S on it for a gleaming finish!

 

Welcome to the site!

[Drexyl]

Hello and welcome from another newbie to the forum I have to agree with everyone who has already said it. I love that colour, combined with the interior, it really is uber .

[type g]

thanks for all the positive replies

 

it was registered in december 2005 and released in 2006 thas why its got a 55 plate

 

so whats different about my interior that makes it obvious its an 06??

 

also my son does all the washing/cleaning and detailing with me. we use a ton of different stuff. that day we used:

 

auto glym shampoo

some auto glym water squiji thing to get the water off

megs speed detailer with the clay bar

megs wax (some high class one i think)

auto glym gloss

simonz window cleaner

and lastly for the black parts (baseplates) some mix a mate gave me with silicon

 

not sure what the name of the colour is but the dvla listed it as brown

 

more comments welcome

[type g]

They changed some of the dials and centre console design a little bit.

 

I would advise not using the squeegee thing on the paintwork. If it is the flexi blade I think you mean, it will drag tiny bits of dirt across the paint and slowly scratch the top coat.

 

The AG gloss is a great product, but I would put it on before any wax. It bonds to the paint work and then you add the wax on top of it to enhance the shine a bit more. The AG is a very long lasting product too.

 

P21S is a carnuba based wax and gives a great shine. Albeit it doesn't last a very long time (couple of weeks). Using the speed detailer to top it up can help.

 

I guess / hope you use a wash mitt and two buckets too?
