Dear friends, Many of you may not be aware of what is happening in Romania as we speak. Heavy snow fall for nearly 2 weeks, low temperature down to -34.5C and really strong winds have brought snow built up to 6-8m or even more in some areas, specially in the county where I come from, Vrancea. Many people, especially old and children are trapped in their remote houses in hundreds of villages. Snow is well above the roof. Hundreds of roads are closed. 79 people died so far. There is a massive risk of flooding once the snow gets melted, that will be another cause to worry about! Thousands of houses are damaged and nearly collapsing. As a Romanian at my origins and trough the ROMANi ONLiNE forum I founded 8 years ago I have decided that I must help as much as I can. Therefore, as of yesterday 14th of February 2012 I have started a fund raising campaign with the aim of collecting at least £5000.00. In less than 24 hours we've managed to raise nearly £3000! I will personally travel to Romanian next Monday for a week and buy food, drinks, blankets and whatever else we may find necessary once we get there. 2 other voluntaries will join me to Romanian and at least 5 others that are already there. With the permission from the 350z-UK Forum administration I would kindly ask you for your support! Here are some quick facts about the campaign: HOW LONG WILL THE FOUND RAISING LAST? 14th - 21st of February 2012 WHAT AREAS OF ROMANIA? Villages from Vrancea county, Eastern Romania WHEN EXACTLY WILL YOU BE THERE AND FOR HOW LONG? 21st-26th of February 2012 HOW CAN WE HELP? a) Donations by bank transfer or by PayPal. There is no to little or to big, anything will matter once we get in Romania!

I would NEVER let this track RAPE my new audio system!

Whooohoooooo! Happy birthday, Daren! I hope you're not taking the Z for a drive today, or are you out already? Have a great one!

GTTTTTTRRRR SEAAAAAAATTSSS!!!!

I really hope you actually meant that your fiancée is black, or is there something you're not telling us...? AHAHAHHAA! Well spotted! Come marzman, tell us!

It's just for the ZED, I'm 32yo.

The charge me more because I'm black! Don't really quite know why they're trying to rip me off, I live and nice area, car is on the driveway, 4y no claim bonus and so on...

First post updated, we have a winner!

Updated first post with Elephant's quote at £1545.30. No, I haven't got NOS.

Chris Knott Insurance - where I have 4 cars insured have sent me a £1222.00 but matched £942 offered by Sky Insurance Sky Insurance - £942.00 Adrian Flux - £2693.59 Bridle Insurance - £845 LWIB - no call back yet Performance Direct - £3,406.55 - AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH, WTF?! Elephant - £1545.30 4y unprotected NCB 6y Full UK Driving License 12y resident in UK 32yo WD24 postcode Annnnnnd the wiiiiinnneeeeeer iiiiiis: Bridle Insurance using Markerstudy as underwriter for £845.00 (including protected NCB, 30days in Europe, £500 excess, £80 windscreen replace) It's a shame that CK couldn't match to be honest, I had a really really nice customer service over the last 12 months! I feel sorry now

Can't really say to be honest. Can't see any difference. They just look a lot better specially with the bulge bonnet!

Yes, the cosmetic part only!

I did, 30min job.

Perfect!

Tell me about it!

Weeeeeeeeeell, that did not last long, on the way home, after about 45 minutes, the subwoofer died. Went back to AUTOAUDIO on Saturday morning, Mayur confirmed. A new subwoofer speaker will be installed on Monday, but I'm considering a better sub like Orion or Morel, although the whole setup was according to specs. Probably just a bad product. Last few photos from installation are here:
