Possibly yes Rob, I'm unsure really... Either that or Supaguard perhaps. Aerial antenna is being welded today (I always hated it!) - I will install a subtle internal aerial. After that, it's on to fitting the Amuse sides, V3 spoiler, CS rear with Nismo style vent mod and repair the front bumper, should be looking like a car very soon!
-
Some photos sent by the bodyshop - nothing exciting yet really... All that starts this week Dropped off in a sorry state - vinyl white panels unrequired, front end was painted white to match (poor match) Swiss cheese bootlid - awful spoiler fitting job by someone Wiper hole welded Boot holes welded/flushed (retaining middle two holes for v3 spoiler) Sideskirts off/door dings corrected 370z Side repeaters fitting/old indicator hole welded/flushed Front end off ready for prep/repair

I have one in blade silver with nismo style spats fitted mate Pm me
-
Haha! I don't think anyone has ever called it that before! But thank you mate! I hope it looks amazeballs when done too Cheers mate, hope my old carbon bonnet is serving you well! Haha! To be honest mate, there's not a great deal more done than you see in the photo! Rear bumper off, boot badge holes, wiper hole, unrequired spoiler holes welded and flushed, side repeaters welded and flushed, 370z side repeaters fitted, side skirts off, front bumper off. He's going to weld/flush the aerial tomorrow I think, then it's on to the exciting stuff! Fitting the new amuse powerhouse sides and Nismo vented Chargespeed rear modification/fitting. Will be some action worth posting next week hopefully mate
-
Thanks mate, that's really kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed it I've been sent lots of pictures from the bodyshop tonight, the prep and welding is going well. Will post the pictures tomorrow.

Looks much better mate! Front end looks very smooth and modern I'm wondering if the garage that did the harness work on my headlights modified the harness on the car, or the newer headlights. I'm hoping it's the car harness converted to 8 pin, my Z-Works lights will be plug and play then!

Bizz's LS3 V8 Drift Car Part 2 - The Finer Details...
Cal replied to bizz's topic in Member Build Projects
Looking forward to seeing the vinyl done Even though your Z is a legit racecar - I still prefer the V2 front over the V3... Looking forward to seeing it all livery'd up! -
I think the V2 spoiler works better with the V2 front bumper, the V1 spoiler would have probably looked better with your V1-ish Aerosync front. That said, the Blitz looks great and suits your car very, very well... All the exterior mods look great together, very tasteful

350z 2007 Black UK Nismo - Two-Stage Correction Detail
Cal replied to Ogman's topic in Car Detailing
Great results and a great looking car. -
Another spanner in the works, no work on my car at the bodyshop till Monday as the guy has done his back in! On the plus side - my lights are in transit from America and will be here Wednesday Off/On picture just because!
-
Decent upgrades mate
-
Well, I got the glue off... It required 1k thinners and a rubber scraper! If anyone has to remove wrap in the future - don't bother with Turps/AG Tar/Glue remover etc, just go straight for thinners (1k so won't touch 2k paint). After that I gave everything a clay and a panel wipe. And this is it, dropped off at the bodyshop looking like a patchwork mess this morning... Finally happening! Cannot wait The front end is still white as it was painted to match the vinyl of the car, the match was poor... So was wrapped anyway!
-
I will be a yes for sure pending my car coming out of respray on time - no accommodation required (I'm fairly local) Will confirm as soon as possible.
-
Cheers boys, means a lot! Stripping the car, as much as a ball ache as it's been, has kept me sane! Somehow
-
I will do mate ----- Right - it hasn't gone in this Monday as planned, I didn't have time to strip the vinyl as agreed with the bodyshop. My Nanna has fallen seriously ill, so I've been spending time with her while I still can. I've been stripping the car in the evenings/time off work during the week, I'll have it ready for this Monday coming no problem... If you're wondering why I haven't stripped the rear bumper/side skirts, it's because they are being replaced with different ones The wings/front bumper look white, because they were originally painted to match the vinyl, it was a poor match so ended up being wrapped anyway! Not as satisfying to peel back white vinyl to see white paint underneath haha! I only have the front bumper to do - then panel wipe the glue off and give it a quick clay. This took about an hour and a half - so frustrating! An afternoon's work... One side near enough done come darkness! Day 2 I got all the passenger side and boot done, as well as all the drivers side - I can only assume as it was sunny, not freezing like the previous days, it helped! Came off much easier, either that or I was getting the hang of it! This is exactly why I hate the fridge/ambulance/kettle white... Look at the definition in shape/highlight you lose on that line in the door! I love it in white - but hate the loss of definition. Ferrari Bianco Fuji should rectify this problem! Bianco Fuji sample, sat on the bonnet in sunlight. Brave new look... you dig?
-
Thanks matey! I hope it does - so much deliberation and Photoshops! I've over thought literally everything! But it's all nailed on and definite now... For those that don't know my plans; Full respray in Ferrari Bianco Fuji pearl white. - Retain v2 front - Amuse Powerhouse sides - 370z side repeaters - Chargespeed rear modify vents to reflect 370z Nismo - Nismo v3 spoiler Can't wait for it to look a little something like this! I'm peeling all the wrap off the car this weekend - it goes in Monday (could take up to a month as it's a favour and a lot of bodywork involved) All the new body bits are at the paintshop ready!
-
Cheers dude, from all the photos I've seen they're exactly what I wanted. Shame I won't have these fitted any time soon, as the car goes in for the respray Monday!

My lights
-
Lights look really good mate, I'm currently having mine done by ZWorks in the states... If I'd have known there was a decent guy in the UK doing them I'd have done that
-
Bump for a bumper... This will be available for collection/postage from this Monday the 2nd of March. If you fancy it, make me an offer.
-
Take a look at this guys page - he's currently finishing up mine. Black housing Gunmetal shroud Tinted clear dimple section White ironman White corner leds https://www.facebook.com/zworklights?fref=ts But if you literally just want black housing, as BulletMagnet says, go for the DEPO ones ready made like that, can get them for £300 ish on eBay from America.
-
I would also like one, and would be willing to pay.... These should take off, and you should be making some money for your troubles imo
-
That leather rear centre console looks fantastic
-
Hi Cal, how did you get on with this? Pretty sure you have bought different lights? The garage were able to convert the harness to 6 pin pretty easily apparently... So shouldn't be an issue at all providing you have a complete set of bi-xenon's. Will be doing the same process again once my custom lights from ZWorks arrive.
