Lol if I had circa £61k for a car the last thing I'd give a toss about is fuel economy or the environment... if it had to be a practical car then an M5 would do just fine thanks I get it's a good bit of kit, but a) the pressure scares the life out of me... They aren't cost effective, yet... and lastly... EWW!

I get where you're coming from, but I don't enjoy the damage as part of the memory hahaha I'd rather look and say " @*!# I went all the way through the Alps and have no marks to show " Absolutely, I will bring 2 torches and a whole pack of batteries for it to check over the paint and everything. Had dreams about it last night hahaha I can't stretch past the £1000 mark, because I've set a budget and thats what I have, also it's mostly the front that worries me, to do the rest of the car is nearly 3 times the price. I can't go that far I don't see how ceramic will protect it and surely that will get damaged too? It's an 80 mile drive home from Worthing, through the forest/country roads so ideally I need it done in Worthing, and don't have the time to bake it over a few days

Was that MR JWW ? His RS6 was fully done, and needed like 6 washes from what I remember even though it had like 10 miles on it hahaha I need to go see a few cars in person I guess

Can I ask why you wouldn't bother? The edges are normally very subtle, and this film comes with either a 5 or 10 year manufactures warranty against peeling and yellowing. Now it will obviously peel should it rip/get damaged, but isn't that the point? I'm sure they'd be happy to restick edges due to the warranty they offer?

I meant £500 for the bumper, sorry - But this makes it even more of a good idea IMO. Can't imagine the time it would take to match it all up too

Yeah chips will drive me mad, especially ones lacquer peel happens. Happened on my 350z, and spread faster than chlamydia in a brothel. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet on this one, but I will be getting many quotes This is what I feared, nobody can match the pearl. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93894-my-experiences-with-pearl-white-paint-repair/

Gonna start by saying I'm not sure if this is the right section :S I'm torn between what to do with my new Nismo, I follow a few car youtubers loosely and they all seem to get PPF done. ( I can't stand SHMEE....) I was looking into Xpel and they claim to be self healing to some extent, which is even better!! Now I'm wondering if its worth it to do the whole front. I have a quote to do the front bumper, whole bonnet and the mirros for £900. My thinking is a respray ( being pearl white ) is gonna be like £500 odd to get a good quality job that matches, and then I can literally get a stone chip on the way home from the respray if lady luck is having a bad day. So surely in the long run ( its a 3 year PCP deal with balloon at the end ) its worth doing? I don't see the dealer having an issue with it as it protects their car essentially, but obviously I will double check this today when they learn how to answer a phone. What do you guys think? Is it a phase? or a "fad" ? It's a crazy amount of money, I will admit that, so more quotes will be sought after, but we all know how prone to stone chips the 350z is, and I don't see the Nismo being much better

Right, car is sold Must say, most pleasant transaction I've had with a car sale. So simple and easy. Enjoy it buddy

Price reduced further, and added some pics of the inside....Cheeky Bump I guess??

If I haven't decided to sell up by this point i'll more than likely have them off you mate. Considering returning it to standard and buying a M140i. Can I ask why a 1 series? Why not the 2? What annoys me is how such an expensive vehicle can come standard with so little

Going to Wales again for a week in the end of August, did the south last year in the 350, hoping to do the north in the 370 I really wanted to do a driving holiday like some of the epic mountain roads in Europe I've seen people do, but the GF is a uni student so has no income and right now I don't feel like footing the bill to all that

I really wanna put a MK1 nismo spoiler on my MK2... And I prefer the MK1 wheels... WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT NISSAN!??!

No idea what you mean, looks perfectly in place... (sarcasm, I agree with you!! ) https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VgWfSLVpWwM/maxresdefault.jpg

Not a fan. Cancelling my order now....

I wish I put it on sale earlier... got around 2 weeks to sell it :S

Being impatient now Is my price to high, or have I missed some details in my advert??? I have had literally no interest As I said, it is now on Autotrader for more, so the forum members get a good £250 off!!

Your thread is driving me mad. Had this in my head for since I saw it!

BLue - BLack... both start with a BL, you'd hardly tell the difference But I understand, good luck with the search

I know its not blue, but I have a Revup for sale in budget, check my for sale thread. Shes mechanically golden, new tyres clutch and brakes within the last 7500 miles and I'm close by PM on the way

I agree, although the HR needs work it hasn't been damaged. By the time you do the clutch and fix the bits you're closer to my car with half the mileage not to hijack!!! I agree, steer clear of the cat D

How much did the magician charge to fit them? I personally don't see the problem, drill a hole and wire it up...? I still wouldn't do it mind you, cars under warranty so they can deal with it if they ruin my bumper, or I'll just leave it without sensors. Lovely looking car, so excited for mine now

I spoke to the dealer on the phone, the guy said camera is standard, however ( and I quote ) " Due to the shape of the bumper, we cannot fit parking sensors " Utter madness. Ah well, the cam sort of makes the sensors pointless, get to see what I hit

Why? Cause I'm not one

I disagree, ever watched some of the those what the rich spend their money on, how does a cool one million pound for a bath grab you? £80k is to them is like a price of your cup of coffee, its pocket change. Literally caught the end of a programme last night on tv where some rich people pay £345 odd for a cup of coffee cause the beans are eaten by some monkey up in the mountains and @*!# out, then some guy picks em up and grinds it to coffee. Rich people **** me off. But I agree, someone with £50B isn't even going to look at the price. Just when do I get it.

I get the same response, I flash people a few times, and give a little nod, usually get a similar response. My other half has started to do it too, as a passenger!
