Driving Southend bound on the A127 this afternoon. Tooted as I drove past 😜

Me and the wife often take a drive to Southend and Shoebury, usually park along the seafront.

I will be driving around around the Basildon and Wickford area over the weekend, spot me if you can. As I never get seen driving around I thought I'd give you all some tips on where to look out for me lol. Silver HR with private plate, you can't bloody miss me lol, although every one seems to.

Lol no, we drove past you, my wife was driving you looked at us and I waved as we drove past. You must have been in a deep daze lol.

Love the colour of the car mate, looked great.

Spotted just now, just going past the M11 anti clockwise. Gave a wave in the silver zed.

Bells hill where? There's a place near me called Bells hill. Basildon.

Seen around near Toomeys on my way home from work.

Looked on the big picture you posted and can't see any blade. 99.5% sure they're were there before the work was done, I also couldn't see those 2 bolts before the work was done. Perhaps it's because they've sprayed them silver that they show up more or something. I don't know.

The first 2 pictures are of my own car, I think they give a pretty good idea of where the part would normally but if you think it'll help more here's a pic from underneath. Sorry couldn't jack the car up to get a further away view as I've just had an op.

Oh well I'll give up then. The picture of the one you posted hasn't even got the large rubber trim under the grill on it. And there are no close up pictures of the underside of front bumpers on Google. Can hardly see it from 20 feet away.

This is the part, but not on a 350z. It's not connected to the wheel guard, it's bolted on by itself.

All the picture on the net and previous ones I've taken of mine are at the wrong angle. Unless you take the picture from the floor it doesn't show the part as it sits under the bumper. Most new cars have this part, although sometimes it's connected to the wheel guard. Perhaps there's someone that has a stock bumper on their car that could post a picture?

It's a rubber blade that sits on the bumper directly in front of both front wheels. Probably 6-8 inches long. In the second picture I posted the nuts are where the part should be, just no part. I'll see if I can find a picture of the part fitted but that might prove difficult.

Already had massive rows with them about that, they reckon they were already missing. They weren't but I got no way of proving that, I already had them replace the trim around the windscreen because they didn't refit that properly and that blew off.

Yeah the under tray is fitted, the guy at the dealership told me that they come with the wheel guard, mine has the wheel guard but these parts are individual but you can't buy them new individually. I think I need to find a breakers or someone that this part used somewhere.

Sat through loads of those with the parts guy at my local dealers, he says it probably comes as part of the first diagram you posted, but you have to buy the whole thing. It's just the stock bumper. Pics of the non existent part below. The nuts have been put back but no blade.

Sorry, would probably help if I told you my cars a 2009 350z.

I've had my front bumper re sprayed and the people that done it haven't put the rubber trim back after doing this. I now have a front bumper with the large middle rubber trim attached but not the 2 that are directly in front of the front wheels. I've tried to buy these new from a dealer but apparently you have the buy the whole wheel guard to get these parts. Can anyone help?!

Saw a silver coming off the round acre roundabout heading towards Basildon Hospital this morning and a white soft top parked in the Eastgate car park on Saturday. Don't see too many in Basildon.

Looks like they've got a GTR Front end on it.

Gave a toot as I went past before the lights ;-)

Parked next to a 06 in Wickford Swimming pool car park whilst waiting for my Stepdaughter to finish work. She came out before the owner unfortunately.

There are lots in Dorset, not so many in Essex though.

My 2009 Z. Pretty much standard.
