If your up on Sunday you'll get to hear the Ark with Berk HFCs, have been running for this for a while. Your neighbours will hate you but it its well worth it

That's Hensh's car, see his build thread for details, http://www.350z-uk.c...muse-gt-now-on/

Few from my side

Stick us down for this Neil

I'll be at LakeZ, have it fitted with Berk HFCs and happy to let you have a listen as well

Unlucky Kris, have always hated that section of the M8 in rush hour as you see all sorts of interesting manoeuvres being pulled by the muppets that share the roads

I have an oem facelift front bumper available which would come with zunsport black grill and a RT Performance Mine's replica front splitter, if that was of any interest. Bumper is in Temper Orange but needs a respray as quite a lot of road rash on the front. Also have the front bumper foam and can throw in the standard orange reflectors as these are different between the DE and HR. Let me know if there's any interest, can provide pics if required also.

Welcome mate, your just round the corner from a few of us in the Bellshill/Motherwell area then

Am sure AMT has said previously he's seen one around the Shotts area and the old man has seen another one frequenting the A71. Hensh, bring it on, better than that brown colour of yours

Defo not me

Spot on mate, they've fitted the side skirts on the wrong way round, should run parallel to the bottom line of the door. Car should be going back in on Friday this week to have this rectified - should have been paying more attention to the photos they sent through whilst the work was being done but I didn't give them any example photos of how the skirts should have been fitted so have to accept some blame in terms of this error, although am surprised the skirts fitted the other way around. Sorry mate, forget to ask when collecting on Saturday, will ask again when the body shop owner comes round tomorrow to look at the skirts in advance of the car going back in on Fri

Have been thinking about putting 10mm spacers all round as wheels are currently ET29 all round As for the lids, I like them but have only been attached with 3M tape such that if the novelty wears off they will come off. First impression is they've done a good job, only thing am undecided on is the wheels as not quite what I was looking for but am going to live with it for a couple of weeks and see how I feel after that, but they've said they'll redo them if I decide thats what I want. Shall be heading out shortly with the camera and will post some pics up later on.

First pic of the finished article, this is from the body shop. Getting collected in 30-40 minutes to collect the car so will follow up with more shots from my side later on today

Quick photo of one of the alloys

do you know if it fits over the 2 holes were the Nissan badge sits? Not sure, i'll double check whether any filling was required when collecting tomorrow

Haven't seen it done before although haven't searched that hard but would like to consider it was my own idea

The same as the badges that are on the front wings, have placed one front and back instead of the Z/oem burgers, front one is countersunk in the bumper

Just received these from the bodyshop

Don't think a retractable one will work given the way the vertical slats are in the bumper, have been trying to see if I can locate a tow hook style one to avoid having to stick the plate to the bumper but haven't found anything in production, and by accounts on 350z.com folk have had to manufacture their own due to the v3 being that bit longer than standard. May end up trying to find a local machine shop that could create something along these lines but alas for the short term the number plate will be getting stuck on.

Cheers Irfan, appreciate that it won't be to everyone's taste but think I've finally got the car the way I want it from an exterior perspective although rear spoiler is under consideration (which will be between the 380RS or Strosek). Not a fan of the v3 rear end either so will be staying with the chargespeed. Suspension is most likely the next target

No worries, front bumper is ABS rather than fibreglass but granted there will always be a slight differences between panels Tarmac kindly sourced everything for me from the US

Yep, genuine Nismo v3 front end and matching side steps. Had the guys colour match as close as they could get to the colour of the original plastic slats that sat in the oem bumper, essentially grey of some description. Have only seen the photos provided myself so can't wait to see it in the flesh on Saturday. Am hoping it is just the light given the whole car has just been done

Maybe in a couple of months time unless the other rear spoiler you are developing is close to being ready

Cheers Chris, and many thanks once again for sorting the kit out for me
