Yeah I thought they were really bad for as well....

Make sure the car has airbags, I've just realised if anyone ever asked me to teach them to drive, I don't think I could. Now I know why my old man left it to my mum to take me out

I was going to say Skepta raps about 350s. It's a shame they weren't released in the 90's, pretty much every hip hop artist mentions Civics, Integras, Accords and of course SLs. I'm sure 350s would have been in there.

Hi guys, a friend of mine had some 'work' done to his car while parked in the street over the weekend, the little buggers that did it didn't even charge him, nice of them. Anyways I need to get the wing mirror base to replace this: Can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks.

Daewoo bahahahahahahahahahahaha! What's he got a rev speed meter for?!

Mk1 TT wheels are 5x100, I know because I have TT alloys on my A3. What wheels do you have on your TT at present? Do you have a pic? Reason I ask if that I have 3 18" TT wheels, the 4th one got damaged and the old man chucked it out!

private investigator?

These cars are just dangerous in American hands, check these out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=is2ZQS-IdwU It is just laughable.

I didn't even consider the irony of the car bra until pointed out above. So funny, I guess it's true what they say American cars can't take corners. That is the most bizarre bump, I'm failing to see what truly happened. I've felt that sort of impact, all be it at a much lower speed after hitting ice going round a corner, it's a horrible feeling. I hate curbs.

Well... I digress, I know the photos add the star burst as no light looks like that, unless I don't have my contact in. I'm going to have to research some more but initial feedback from photos is that they look a bit crap and everyone compares them to an Audi, I suppose all cars will now look like Audis when it becomes mandatory for car manufacturers to produce cars with 'day lights' I have seen the 'landing strip' on a 370z locally although it was in passing and I did think it looked quite good.

Love the 370 Roadster.

Lucky man glad you enjoyed it.

He's gonna need a drink when he wakes up snoring with his mouth wide open like that!

For a second I thought you might actually watch that rubbish

I know! Nissan and their bumper colours eh! I do love the starburst look of the LEDs, short of just asking Custom 180 what LEDs they use would anyone know? I would expect Custom 180 not to divulge the info as that is their business. Hi Matt as Chris said they came like that from the factory. Not too sure on the colour code (I understand it's a pig to match) to be honest but if you require any better pics let me know

Wow here's another spin on LEDs but this looks like a custom job rather than a DIY one: http://www.clearcorners.com/products/nissan/z34/h_lamp1/

Just been looking through a few of these custom 180 headlights, I particularly like the layout, colour and look of these: I'm going to go white, I just need to make sure I get the right temp for the leds, sidelights and match them to the headlights. What is the standard colour temp of the headlights? I'm not going to be changing the bulbs. In the pics I've put up above are the LEDs wide angle? I have so much to learn!

Cheers Husky, I really appreciate your reply, it's certainly given me enough to think about and enough to get on with. I want to achieve a compliment to the headlights without being over the top so I suppose my first port of call will be to find out what temp the standard 370 headlights are and I'll take it from there

Thanks for the info mate I've just looked at Farnell's website, I'm taking it this is the one: http://uk.farnell.com/ I am massively confused by the site I honestly never knew there were so many different kinds, widths, brightnesses etc of LEDs. I'm under the impression 5mm width is about right for the headlights but with regards to what brightness and colour I'm not very sure and I wouldn't want to spec it incorrectly like you say and totally regret it when it's all back together. Sorry to pick your brain but what would you recommend is the correct specification of LED for this application?

I don't know about spraying the housings. Do you think it will look okay or a bit OTT? It's never been a huge concern of mine that there's a contrast between the black paint and chrome housings but now you've mentioned it it's got me thinking. http://www.chicagoz.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23206 Liking it or is it over kill? Bearing in mind the car will not be standard after winter hopefully.

As it's winter and I don't fancy subjecting the car to the harsh elements. I'm thinking of things I can do whilst the car is tucked up in the garage and I'm thinking of playing around and having a go at doing the LED headlights so I can achieve this: I won't be blacking the housing out as it would just be OTT on a black car. I'm just after some pointers as to where I can get some good quality LEDs, I don't want to buy crap that will break, just imagine the effort in taking apart the headlights to replace an LED if it failed. Anyway I will do a little write up of my own once completed

Watch this space maybe after the new year...

After a rubbish day in work that has cheered me up, sorry mate, but at least you rest safe in the knowledge you brightened up my day Hope you feel better soon and don't worry we've all had our moments.

Have to admit I don't wave, most of the time I see another Zed I'm not in mine so I usually forget plus I hardly ever see any!

If HR actually did expenses it would be hilarious.
