I'm 19 with Admiral/Elephant, try those out and welcome!!

Is it definitely outside the cabin? The reason I ask is I thought I had a similar problem but checked out the cabin first. Few little bangs and wallops on different trim around the footwell did the trick. Still does when the car is cold from time to time

So how much do you think I'm looking at all in? Including spraying/fitting?

Excuse the bump, but this car is certainly worth it. That colour is amazing!

When people say 'all in' does that include colour coding or is it supplied in primer?

No way! Lost all hope with this one hahaa! Seen a gunmetal 370z in Thornaby (where I'm from) too not long after, maybe you know who it is? You at the Falcon meet on Sunday?

Hold a wardrobe in one hand, and a bag of sugar in the other. There, you're in the right ball park.

As above, good price and would have them off you providing I was looking at getting something off DT

Very nice Corolla! And welcome!

Welcome!

Thanks guys!

I noticed in his thread! Poor lad got a hard time, but it's what lads do, 'banter' as they say. Its bullying!! Maybe jealousy?

Definitely on my list! Would like to hear one in person before I commit though, the drone of the Fiesta ST at motorway speeds with a full Milltek had me going nuts. Name is already down Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Better than previous forums by a long shot.

So far I'm fully aware that this car demands respect. I'm not one for the Asda car park scene of handbrake turns and booming music. Hope that most come to realise I'm pretty similar to the 'oldies' who love the car for what it is, and don't see the need to endanger other people's lives to show it off.

Hi all, Thought I would put up a post and introduce myself. I've had the 350 just over two weeks and I am in love! The noise, the power, the good looks, phwoarrr... Bit about me, I'm from the North East (Middlesbrough to be exact) and I'm 19 years of age. Came from a Fiesta ST that was running 186bhp so quite a jump to the 350. The car I now own is an immaculate example of an 'old mans weekend car'. It's an '04 with 37,000 miles on the clock. I got it at the grand old price of £7,500, which I believe is an absolute bargain. Not one thing wrong with it (touch wood) other than the usual niggles such as boot struts etc... Here she is, complete with added Instagram filters: For the curious amongst you, I got a loan for the car as I'm wanting to build a credit rating ASAP. So why not kill two birds with one stone and get my dream car? The plans for the car are to go carbon (this will take a while) splitters, fins but keeping it OEM+. Already purchased the Z inserts, top job from Tarmac Sportz! Also either go the common route of Rota Drifts, or save a while longer and commit to the TE37 like the below pic: Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope to see many of you good folk around the country in the years to come!

If there's one thing which I'm good at, it's spotting distant 350z's during a Netflix marathon... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never seen a 370 in the flesh until you went past, very nice looking car. Give you a flash and got a wave back, nice to see the community spirit haha

There's another in BB (spoiler alert) outside the first fumigated house when the camera pans upwards and looks down the street

Why not, I am proud to not be driving in a fiesta or corsa like everyone else my age. ! I was actually proud to be driving a fiesta at 19 as I had a budget of £300 for a car and happy I cut my teeth learning in a car suited to my (in hindsight) rather limited driving ability at that age - nothing wrong with that Also meant I could experiment with cheap parts on a car worth not a lot of money and learn how to work on it and not rely on paying labour costs for the last 20 years to garages. And I didnt have the internet to look everything up I was also proud to be driving my 1999 saab 9-3 2.2 tid at 17, learnt a lot with it and wanted something completely out of the ordinary to replace it. Saved my money over the year as it was the cheapest years motoring I will probably ever have. (did not have a single problem with the Saab, and filled it once a month!) I know in say 10 years time I will look back and regret it, but right now I am young, I am lucky enough to be able to afford the zed at a young age and probably won't have the opportunity to own such a car ten years down the line, could say I am getting it out of my system, perhaps the zed will be followed by sensible cars........ I apologise to those of you who see my signature as me boasting, it is not meant to come across that way... Exactly my way of thinking. Had a Fiesta ST at 18 now bought my Zed at 19. Thought that in a few years I'll probably be in a position where I'd need more than two seats, so why not get my dream car whilst I still can. Mikey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bronze 350 on the way to work, was in front of you then followed all the way down to Thornaby turn off where I pulled off, making me doubt my colour choice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For others who are searching, a generous squirt of GT85 seems to have done the trick. For now anyway!

Mine doesn't seem to do this. It's an 04 so maybe a facelift thing?
