  1. +1 I have been tempted recently to do what kev did with his. Very cool.
  2. The zed but as also been called " the appliance crusher "
  3. Were these taken in this country? only i dont remember seeing the sun for 2 years.
  4. Hope she does not become a member on here or else we will have a major battle on with Sarnie Must be totally mad. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstop ... month.html
  5. Not sure on total cost yet but all i can tell you the yellow is a 4 stage paint and its a 3 figure cost on the paint alone. But will update when its done. I assume this is the headlight/ windscreen washer bottle. One either side.
  6. Just heard on Radio 2 Aberdeen is gridlocked and that the airport as just only re-opened. I wish we got some proper snow down here instead of this 1-2 inch stuff that sends everyone into a panic. Could not stop laughing at the local bbc news last night, they made it sound like we had 2 foot of the stuff. The further south you go the more wussy you get.
  7. Very nice Would be nice to see this in Wales again.
  8. Surprised you could tell it was silver in the current white out conditions.
  9. Certainly hoping that it will be good as i am using a first rate bodyshop.I have taken the front off and i will be putting it back on though, did not want the car sitting in the body shop whilst it was been done.
  10. And the result of the photo finish. 1st Beavis 2nd Martinmac

  12. May look at the KW1 kit for the custard soon.
  13. Exactly I would never allow any painting to be done until i have approved the match/sample.
  14. And i am using an Official Mercedes Benz approved body repairer
  15. Hope this gives you hope http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... 157#277157
  16. I have been reading this thread with interest as i am going through a similar thing myself. To be honest i would prefer to be matching Azure blue than ultra yellow. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19407 Anyhow as many of you know my front bumper got damaged late last year and luckily for me bigphil at ESR had Tilly's original front bumper at his place. But to be honest on closer inspection i was not happy it was badly pitted and and we have since found out it had been partly (badly) resprayed. This wont do for me so i have taken the plunge to get it totally stripped back and resprayed. Its been done as we speak at a local prestige car repairer. I know others have had ultra yellow paint done before, but to use all the stages for this paint is eye watering expensive per litre Paintcode for ultra yellow is E33. Anyhow if any of you are getting your bumpers resprayed get your bodyshop to spray out a sample like this. Overall i am very pleased with the matching. What does anyone else think? Hope this gives hope to other contemplating painting front bumpers. Like i said this is not a cheap job as i am having all the stages involed with this paint done and also remember you have the option of flipping the paint into the wings. I am hoping that in this case that wont have to be done. So chin up you Azure owners i beleive a good match is possible. Also remember these are taken in artifical light with a flash too, i have seen lots of gunmetal pictures taken recently of cars that have had paint work done and they are no where near this match, unless gunmetal reflects the light in a different way to yellow?

  17. Chuck one of those in as well then And maybe a motorbike as i have a full licence too. But what bike?
