Bugger! Reason I thought I'd go for 10mm is that Ian Wasso has the same wheels and 15mm scrubs for him, perhaps with mine being sat higher on Eibach springs it may be ok. Old pic, but gives an idea of the clearance
-
I adore this kit mate... It's how I'm looking to style my 350 as close to as possible! All your choices have been great - they're all so similar to mine, a very good thing imo at least! Hahaha

10mm and 20mm Hubcentric Spacers, for 19" LMGT4's. Ideally black, but if they're cheap enough I'll clean/paint them. Was looking at these http://www.ebay.co.u...=item461647c25d

Sounds good to me mate! Less hassle washing it the better

The rear JDM one is just a regular size one off eBay. The front one in that picture is an illegal one also off eBay, like this - http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35b7cf0aa1 For the front though I am currently running a legal JDM rectangular plate (has BS number etc and correct JDM size smaller font) to purchase one of these you need to send your V5 off to prove your car is an import. https://www.craigspl...t-number-plates

Double post dammit!

Very tidy job, looks great!

Just posting the latest pictures I have from the visit to the bodyshop, vent mod coming along nicely, Amuse sides on ready to be adjusted etc Numberplate bracket hole smooth over Chargespeed vent to Nismo 370z style mod progress... He cut out the bar, then the recessed area and moved it in halfway, so they're half the width of regular Chargespeed vents. I'm really happy with how it's turned out so far Before; After; Starting to get there! 370z side repeaters fitted - and close up of the fitting of the Amuse sides, not great, but can be sorted. A few pics I took for reference to spacers - I've decided to go for 10mm front, 20mm rear... It's lowered on Eibach springs and wouldn't want it much lower really, the 10/20 should hopefully make the 'stance' a lot nicer - I want it to look OEM but aggressive, I hate this camber bollocks should hopefully be flush with an even arch gap all round. Anyone think I'll need camber arms with 20mm on the rear? What about the front? Amuse Powerhouse sides fitted - yet to be adjusted to fit better, really, really happy with them... I personally think they look more OEM than my old Nismo ones! All the body work will be finalised by mid this week... The painting will start Friday/Saturday! Should have something that resembles this very soon! Like a kid at Christmas

Blue and yellow go great imo mate providing there's not too much yellow, good choice But I'm biased, my previous car was a racing blue Clio with yellow roll cage, calipers etc -
It's not too shabby. It's effectively (well actually it is) GTechniq C1, so applied correctly it should easily see 18months+ out of it. It's not the worst choice. Yeah I read even the bottle is that same, ha! Ah well, sounds good enough and my friend will apply it periodically for me Just went up to see the car in the metal, the 370z indicators look perfect, a great oem looking upgrade. The Amuse powerhouse skirts look lovely, after they're fettled with they should look spot on, much prefer the clean angles to them over my old nismo ones. The Chargespeed rear wasn't on the car as above, but up close the vent modification looked spot on, exactly what I wanted. Debarred and roughly half the width of the regular CS vents. Measured up for spacers for the lmgt4 wheels, 10mm front, 20mm rear should be fine. I got a couple of pictures but nothing not seen really... Excited now
-
I hope so mate! It's really starting to take shape now I'm especially excited about the rear as I'm not sure anyone has done it before!

Is it good stuff though Ogman? Be honest I've had a few pics of the rear bumper on complete with modified Nismo 370z style vents! It looks just how I imagined it to! Just needs a bit of tweaking here and there he says.
-
My friend who is painting it is doing to the post paint detail/correction and he said he will be using 'Carbon Collective Platinum Paint Sealant.' Seems fairly unknown, but a few on Detailing World have had good results with it.
-
Will give you a shout when it's all sorted Paul no doubt - you're not far from me. The GTechniq stuff looks good ilogikal, have only heard good things about their products.
-
Amuse Powerhouse sides test fit - they're apparently a really crap fit... They don't look 'too' bad to me, he just needs to sort the gapping and make sure they're flush with the ends of the arches... He's confident he can make them spot on Nismo V2 bumper prep - the paint/vinyl on this was awful, so it's been stripped all the way back, a few cracks repaired, and retain the badge/line smoothing. He reckons he'll have all the dry prep work done before this Tuesday coming Then paint late next week! I'm looking forward to seeing the Chargespeed rear with 370z Nismo style vents the most - I hope he gets it close enough to my Photoshops.
-
I want to hate your rear lights, but they suit your car! Definitely azure spoiler and lose the oem one. For a Celica part it looks great on a Z!
-
As above - no border and numberplate foam tape on, no screws. Wheels look really, really nice. Great colour too
-
Cheers boys, just need to figure out what spacers I'm going for, especially the rear... And if I need any camber arms/uprated bushes etc. It's on Eibach springs I think and wouldn't want it any lower really.
-
Little update, the prep work on the main body of the car is done... Boot badge holes, rear wiper hole, aerial, old style indicators all welded and flushed, 370z indicators fitted, dings repaired and rear arches rolled etc. It's now all in primer aside from the paint that was in good condition (bonnet/pillars) Next week the exciting stuff starts! Dry fitting the Amuse Powerhouse skirts, the Chargespeed rear with 'Nismo'd vents' and the V3 spoiler. Aerial welded/flushed Boot badge holes, rear wiper hole, unrequired spoiler holes welded/flushed Rear arches rolled Old style indicator welded/flushed -370z indicator retrofit
-
Diamond Brite looks good to me... Will see nearer the time of completion
-
Great choice with the shadow chrome, they look the part. Good mods so far
-
Never seen the centre diamond cut like that before, different and looks cool
