Good idea Tinyflier will tell him.

I agree with all the above, will pass most cars from 30 to 130...

Is it expensive ?.

Absolute complete Ass Holes. :rant:

Welcome to the world of Zed...Big wallet required..!!!

Sad..!!

Brembo Decals are on eBay.

Great looking car.

Nice wheels.

Thats neat , very clever

Good Luck with the mods.

Looks cool...

Great just put in a bid...

BBK. Kwik Sh1t only give you a guarentee if you still own the car when the pads ware out, if you sell the car this warrenty is not transferrable. My cars normally do maximun of 6000 miles and then get changed (not that I would ever take my car to Kwik Sh1t for anything having read the comments on this post.) My sons car is a 1999 Golf which gets him to Uni and back in Sheffield, the brakes at Kwik Sh1t prices will out last the car and cost more than the cars is worth..!!! :thumbdown:

Hi Wayne. Welcome to the forum. You can get a bit more than you think in the boot..! Good Luck on you choice, anything you want to know, just ask and there is a Member here who will always have thew answer. Post a few pics as well. :thumbs: :welcome:

Do you need a radio code for a 2006 pre face lift model ..!!!

Your right BBK, you dont have to buy their rip off 4 x Discs and 4 x Pads @ £380. but when they quote you £72 to fit the front pads only, which is what's needed and then refuse to do the front pads unless you agree to their full recomendations when the cars there..THATS A RIP OFF..!!! :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I am extremely sorry to hear about your Brother, I wish him a speedy recovery, and I hope its only a matter of time before he can resume his build of his Zed and enjoy it to it's full, I'm sure you and your Dad can call upon the help of the members on her at any time. God Speed his recovery. x Will.

Thats good to know SMD... but how do you get them to fit them without spending about £400 - 00...??? :thumbdown:

DeanKenny ..Your mate the Manager of Kwik Sh1t must be ripping off everybody else except you if he can afford a GT3..!! :thumbdown:

Appreciate everybodys comments. I forgot to say "Im in London and my sons in Sheffield" and he is in Student accommidation and has no place to change the pads except the roadway, he also struggles to change a lightbulb..!! I would do them if he was in London without any problem.

Hi All. Last week I asked on the forum if anybody could recomend a garage in Sheffield that would change the front pads on my sons Golf as that's all needed doing without him getting ripped off as he's a Student living on his Student Grant. and the Bank of Dad. Bounty Bar Kid suggested Kwik Fit, so I called them and discussed changing the front pads and they quoted £75 inc vat, which is a bit over the top but they were close to him and could do it anytime so I booked it in for yesterday. He dropped off the car yesterday morning for the front pad to be done. He then got a phone call about 2 hours later saying the car needed extra work and could he pop back and agree it before they went ahead. so back he goes to Kwik Fit to be told by a 17 year old kid that he had done a completed brake report and that he needed new discs and new brake pads all around and this would cost £392. 90 my son explained to him that it only needed front pads and that's what it was booked in for, He was told that they would do ALL the work and refused to just do the front pads saying "we will do all the the work or none of it"...!!!! WHAT A RIP OFF..!! So he took ther car away, we are now back to square one and almost got ripped off by Kwik Fit, I wonder how many old ladies they frighten into getting new brakes all round, a new battery, new exhaust just to make a profit...WHAT A RIP OFF COMPANY..!!! SO WELL DONE KWIK FIT SHEFFIELD. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: Thats my "rant "over....Will.

All sounds a bit drastic...Just tell them you will take you claim to Court and let a Judge decide the legality of their 10 or 12 year body and paint warranty...watch them leap about because if you get a judgement..they are in the @*!# and believe me they wont risk it...?? :clap:

Lovely looking car...check out why its a Cat C...what damage was done for it to be a Cat C. Also I'm sure this is a Japaneese Import (JDM Japanese Domestic Market), Ask if it was an Cat C here or brought into the Country damaged. For £6k you will get a UK supplied 350Z and most likely a GT around a good 2003 / 4...dont be too worried about high milage..engine bullet proof as long as its got service history. God Luck....and welcome.. :thumbs:

Whats the difference between a Cat C and a Cat D ..??
