far too 'fast and furious' for me but i guess it could be worse!

your not supposed to sit on it!

they look like the silenced ones to me... below is lifted from the Horsham website. The H-Dev silenced de-cat pipes give increased performance - on our test car we found a gain of +10bhp and +8ft.lbs torque. They are silenced but are still make the car slightly louder than the standard cat pipes. Because these pipes do not have a catalyst core they will not pass an MOT. Also the check engine light will come on due to "low catalyst efficiency". The check engine light issue can be resolved with an ECU remap These pipes will fit the 2003-2007 cars with the 276 or 297bhp engines, single air box. They will not fit the 2007+ 313bhp twin air box engines or the 370Z engines.

Well unfortunately this one got slightly damaged in transit but as its fibreglass it should repair ok? Spotted it on eBay!!!!!!!

Cheers steve... Sounds like it's a genuine then Now just got to decide if I want to use it... Will need a respray if I use it or not

Has all the mounting hardware for the headlight washers....

???????

Simpletons question here but how do you tell if a front bumper is a genuine or a replica? Is it as simple as the genuine will have the nismo sticker on the inside?

yep bang on and bang tidy but BANG expensive.... lol

nope nismo option is not the only option but its the only 'cheap' option... evo-r http://www.evo-r.net/product/Lip/06/index.htm mines copy from USA ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/06-08-Nissan-350Z-Carbon-Fiber-Front-Lip-JDM-MINES-Z33-/221186175248?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item337fb93110&vxp=mtr seibon tt from USA ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEIBON-06-08-350Z-Carbon-Fiber-Front-Lip-Spoiler-TT-Z33-/330398728354?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A350Z%7CYear%3A2008&hash=item4ced4c80a2&vxp=mtr there are quite a few options in the states... just have a search on google for "350z front lip 08" and see what comes up

they are out there.... but they are PRICEY!

little tip/trick... even on a very very cold day a car parked in the sun will heat up very quickly! i just moved mine off the dive into the sun 5 mins before we were due to go out then the roof went down with no fuss and no dramas even though the temp was only showing as 6 when we left home yesterday roof down wooly hat on heater on and foot down... enjoy! quick trip to the coast for chips on the beach... wish i had known there was a half marathon on in brighton though!!! parking was mental!

i see you have already posted in P19DROs thread..... other than that there was one on ebay the other day

if you can afford it then you have the answer to your question right there

Fuel consumption (urban) 16.3 mpg Fuel consumption (extra urban) 31 mpg Fuel consumption (combined) 23.3 mpg 0 - 62 mph 5.1 seconds Top speed 155 mph Cylinders 8 Valves 32 v Engine power 354 bhp Engine torque 324.5 lbs/ft S5 Fuel consumption (urban) 13.7 mpg Fuel consumption (extra urban) 30.1 mpg Fuel consumption (combined) 20.9 mpg 0 - 62 mph 4.8 seconds Top speed 155 mph Cylinders 8 Valves 32 v Engine power 420 bhp Engine torque 317 lbs/ft RS4 Fuel consumption (urban) 17.8 mpg Fuel consumption (extra urban) 33.2 mpg Fuel consumption (combined) 25.2 mpg 0 - 62 mph 4.6 seconds Top speed 155 mph Cylinders 8 Valves 32 v Engine power 420 bhp Engine torque 295 lbs/ft M3 if you are dead set on the Audi i guess you need to make a choice how 'sensible' a 4/5 seater you want to get... the two Audi's, although on the face of it very similar, are very different cars. the S5 being the softer option. OK the RS4 will cost more to run but if its just the £800 extra in brakes thats putting you off the car think of it spread over a couple of years (time it will take to need the new brakes) for £7.60 a week you could have the harder and probaly more raw feeling RS4..... if i was in that kind of market i would seriously consider the V8 M3....

i guess wat i was saying is that if specifically darker shades were required then the use of the 2000 series aluminium alloys may be best placed to make the spacer from. i think the purple you have done looks great and as i have said i am not sure any other supplier would have bent over backwards as much as you have to try and please

my Mrs has a 1 series in that bronze/red colour and lit looks great, changes colour depending on the light. sometimes its deep red other times it looks almost bronze and in certain lights looks bright red. she was very specific about the colours she wanted and def did not want a black or silver one! car parks are full of black and silver cars and we see very few this colour. in fact i have only ever seen 3 others in this colour will try and dig out a pic

i cant imagine any other supplier going to such lengths to make 1 customer happy...... having looked into anodising i found out that some Aluminium alloys are suitable for the full range of available colours from light to dark shades, whereas other alloys may only be suitable for dark colour and other only black. Generally speaking the following holds true for the following series of Aluminium alloys; 1000 series - (e.g. 1100) Suitable for the full colour range, including bright finishes. 2000 series - (e.g. 2011, 2024,...) These alloys tend to darker shades; not suitable for all colours, particularly light colours and shades. 3000 series - (e.g. 3103) There is a tendency toward matt finish and it is difficult to achieve bright glossy finishes; not suitable for all colours. 4000 series - (e.g. 4043) Not suitable for colour anodising 5000 series - (e.g. 5005, 5083) These alloys are suitable for the full colour range, including bright finishes. 6000 series - (e.g. 6060, 6061, 6063) Suitable for the full colour range, with 6063 being the most suitable for bright finishing 7000 series - This series of alloys a bit more variable with regard to colour. Motorbike rims such as the 'Excel' type anodise really well and take all colours

think you will find 'pulling' is not his problem

suns out.... put the roof down
