Haha thanks, the finish is far from perfect, but I only had interior lacquer rather than automotive stuff. Took a few pictures today after giving the Z a well deserved wash yesterday...

It was a red one, parents bought it for me haha I just bought a tin of Gun grey and sprayed it myself

Project mini me is complete:

I'm based in Aberdeen, Scotland Yeah, I'm thinking that with the black fangs and carbon lip centre, and the black rear diffuser, the side skirts will blend in fine.

I'm definitely in!!!

11:45am 29/5/2014 driving past my work at the arches south college street, looked nice!

Evo-R does a CF cover for the fangs but its not compatible with the front lip... and I'm not a fan of fake carbon, whether its wrap, hydrodip or whatever. I'm about to have the fangs re-wrapped so I could go with gloss black...hmm

Sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you, I was just shwing the splitter fitted because the blurry phone pic of it on my living room floor doesn't really give you an idea of what it looks like haha I bought it direct from Evo-R it was 200quid including postage, and I then had to pay 40quid import tax. Still makes it a pretty sweet deal. I took it to my spray man and he said he's mental busy and away on holiday, so I'm gonna give it a bach myself :/ ........how hard can it be? This is exactly what I am going for, except I'm waiting for Tarmac to stock the Evo-R rear diffuser because I asked for it from him first before ordering the lip from Evo-R direct and he has it in production right now. If you find a source for the spats let me know I as I can't find someone who will ship them to the UK. I'm also planning a set of tarmacs side step skirts as well to complete the look. The question is whether to paint them or not....and can I get it all done in time for scottish car show haha.

Oh hello...

Welcome to the club

Good price??? Thats an amazing price!!! You could buy it, remove the SC kit and wheels and sell it for only 1k less than the asking there! If this had been for sale when I was looking for mine I would have sold my girlfriend to get it

Guilty as charged! Thanks, desperately needs a clean now though!

Wasn't me? Did the reg start TJZ (Irish plate)? If so this car parks just one street away from me

That is an interesting link, thats cheap! With some intakes, an exhaust, reworked intake and new manifolds you can get 400hp? It seems a little too good to be true!

Yeah, it's not possible with one single piece of wrap. I haven't looked at it really closely yet but from what he said you can only get 150% stretch on wrap, so I think he said there is actually 3 separate pieces of wrap on it. two (or maybe 3) bits that do the deep inset bits, and then a 3rd (or 4th) piece that goes over the front. It's not ideal and I guess a lot of bigger companies might just say no but I don't want to commit to paint just yet. Time will tell! Cheers Dan

Cheers! I really like the look too, not too low And the car is at Customised Coatings at the moment getting done professionally, he said the only way to do it is to have an under layer around the deep part, but I think the issue is that the grill doesn't separate from the bumper, so you can't wrap the wrap round the edge to keep it nice and tight, but I guess we'll see.

Quick pic of the DIY matte black fangs before I took it off because the tight corners started peeling up.

Thanks for all the comments guys. The roof is going gloss black on Wednesday, the fangs are going matte black. I should have a Fujimura "style" rear diffuser on in the next week or 2 and eventually a sunline splitter (and rear spats) and Tarmac side step skirts. As for the wheels I'm still undecided as I really like the standard wheels....I can't bear to part with them just to gain an extra inch :'( Cheers, Dan

Haha, going by the shape of them they look like they might make the ladies do more than swoon ... However the issue is I have AAM short tails and I don't mind it being loud, but I want to get filters and an uprev and I've read that the short tails do very little if nothing for performance so I'm going to need a new exhaust, and the more exotic the sound the better haha

Right, so do they alter the sound to make it a better note or just to make it quieter? If just quieter, is the reason for this setup just due to the configuration of the space available? I've just never seen something like this before Cheers

What are the 2 bits that come out before the back boxes with the cans on the end? What is their purpose? Cheers Dan

23 - 370Z GT And I hope I get to keep it....all you guys with kids/family etc should feel more proud, as I've watched my dad suffer at the wheel of 5 door Saabs and Audis. He's just turned 50 and finally bought a Maserati GranTurismo.

In the name of this revival....you need this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-2012-NISSAN-370Z-NON-NISMO-FRONT-LICENSE-PLATE-BRACKET-OEM-FACTORY-PART-/280980200890?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item416bb99dba

A few days after I got my car another 370z flashed and waved and since then I have had my eyes peeled to do the same for all 350s and 370s. And to date all have reciprocated And in regards to fit girls... I have noticed a few girls staring at the car (or my devilishly handsome mug) with unhappy looking boyfriends
