I never got a response to my problem with my password so no box for me this month.

Oh christ, I have already been the paint shop asking for a quote to repaint the front bumper due to stone chips!! Stage 3 is when it's booked in for the 3rd time in as many years to get the same bumper respray and alloy refurb done.

I still use a Pre 3! Now that iOS 7 has stolen the multitasking card view thing I may actually switch to an iPhone when the next one is released... I'll certainly miss WebOS and the Pre touchstone though.

We all are . . . more pics Oh I see! I wasn't sure if it was just a fresh azure blue going on or a complete change It's Azure again... I won't dig out the full story thread though...

Hurry up and post the rest, I want to see the new rear bumper!

Abbey are only 1.5 hours away.

Not much help, but I wan't particularly happy with the service from West Way Oxford... and my brother works there!

Why would I want to watch Big Brother?

Surely they'll fit... upside down...

Lol I just meant buying things colour coded, not red specifically.

Possibly but the Nismo logos will be on the wrong side (next to the gear stick) due to RHD/LHD.

It could be worse, I have Graham's bug and now anything in the right red and I buy it!

Don't hit the kerb then!! It's more stones etc etc, as I posted elsewhere I got the bumper resprayed (again!) in May and then got a ton of debris from a car accident hit the front on my car and crack it again! I reckon a PU bumper would have been fine.

Actually I'm in even at that price, fed up of my fiberglass cracking!!

We're talking PU not FRP, having said that if a company produces good quality FRP stuff they're more likely to produce good quality PU stuff as well.

What year is it? That's quite an important question that will lead to better advice, for example if it's an ?05-06? you'd want to check when it was registered to determine which side of the tax brackets it falls (could be a ~£200 per year tax difference), for an '07 you'd want to make sure it was a HR model (2 air in takes and bonnet bulge) as you'd be paying the higher tax anyway so may as well go for the better spec, you'd also probably want to avoid the ?'06? oil eating revup. I looked at replacement hoods the other day and you can buy a nicer mohair one (the OEM is canvas) for £440, not sure if that includes fitting, but if the roof is ripped you may want to ask for a discount in that area to cover the new hood. I wouldn't worry about the clicking axle problem, yes it's common but also a cheap fix - I'd only use it as a discount point rather than something that would put me off.

Well I'm happy to give it a go assuming there's some form of refund policy from your supplier if the body shop says it's a no go fitting wise. Not sure how much other interest you'll get though and I guess shipping one unit for test fitting would be costly.

Doing a Google on Vis racing bumpers makes me think you should stick with your "no body kit" policy: http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/933427-vis-asm-bumper-review-stay-away/ http://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/vis-racing-sports-body-kit-review-210701/ http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?650731-Any-Experience-With-VIS-Racing-Bodykits

If you ever get PU Nismo V1s give me a shout, happy to be a guinea pig fitting wise! Probably cheaper to switch than keep respraying my fiberglass one which always seems to get whacked by a big rock or similar within a month or 2 of a respray, last respray was in May and there was a big accident on my way through France in July which threw a load of debris in front of my car causing more f'ing cracks.

I almost bought a Sag instead of my Z, considering they've gon up from about £40k to £50k over the last few years makes me think I made the wrong decision.

My mum checked Snopes before posting something recently, I was shocked to say the least!

I also wanted a good quality yet more flexible Nismo V1 bumper, unfortunately Shine only do the V2.

I doubt I'll have time to find a tent etc let alone a fancy dress (that's a set of clothes in a certain style and not a SMD version of Saturday night before you comment!), also not sure I'll have room in the roadster for it, but could give it a go. Happy to order food in. I haven't been to JAE in sooo long, is there a bar there these days and what time does shut? I hate warm beer and wondering if I have to bother with buying an ice box etc etc.

I saw my folks for the first time in a while over the weekend and showed them the pics... I feel exactly the same! BTW I should really get around to posting a thread about the trip!
