@Bry Cheers mate! Looking a bit better now it's had a polish. Just need to get some decent pictures over the weekend!
-
The new bumper and wing are finally fitted! I love it! So much better than I could of anticipated... Also fitted a set of 15mm spacers on the rear and lowered the back by about 5/10mm. Now just to get it properly cleaned ready for Forge at Castle Combe tomorrow!

A friend of mine just had his car wrapped by Shades Wraps in Bristol. Very impressed with the workmanship. Took almost all the panels off the car so that none of the original paint could be seen afterwards. I believe the total cost for wrapping the car was £1400 but that price included smoothing the front bumper from him... I appreciate Bristol is probably way too far away for you but it gives you an idea on the price to wrap a car

Busters new toy.... latest updates 30.5.2019
Silverthorn replied to buster's topic in Member Build Projects
Looks awesome! I absolutely adore those wheels -
Just had my pass come through the post. looks like we've got a decent spot! Enter via the blue gate (main paddock entrance) and we're in F3b. So we'll be in the centre of the paddock on the grass in the middle

@Bry it was horrendous mate. I wouldn't have driven the car at all if I had the choice, but being my only car I still had to use it to commute to work. Every time I hit a bump the back of the car would squirrel about all over the place! Not a good experience whatsoever

It's fair to say that you definitely need aftermarket toe bolts when going quite low on a 370... Bought these tyres 3 weeks ago and went for an alignment straight afterwards. I was told the toe bolts were seized so ordered some SPC ones. In the time it's taken for these to arrive and be fitted the tyres are absolutely ruined!

I've never gave their other polishes and compounds a go so I can't comment as to how well they work - Although I do agree that a lot of the products tend to focus on making things smell nice rather than actually removing any swirls...

It still amazes me at how good the AutoBride Glaze is! Still one of my favourite car cleaning product to date That combined with Poorboy's Black Hole gives a seriously deep shine @davey_83 How do you find the other AutoBride products? I am yet to give them a go
-
+1 for Driftworks. If you contact them I'm sure they'll be able to point you in the right direction for some extended studs and spacers. I'd be surprised if it was much more than £15/£20 for the extended studs. Then it's just the case of sourcing 2 15mm slip on spacers.

370z Stillen CAT back Cheap to get it moved.
Silverthorn replied to Keyser's topic in 370z Parts For Sale
Jesus that's cheap! GLWTS -
Something like this would be perfectly adequate. They're black as well so will blend in perfectly with the new 20mm spacers! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3mm-alloy-wheel-Spacers-Shims-pair-Universal-4-5-Stud-Fit/261222279486?epid=1340702925&hash=item3cd20fa93e:g:eJoAAOxy--NRo~gj I made the same mistake initially and i bought 20mm for the front of my car when i had the stock RAYS. Information online can be difficult at times to find so it's easily done! A simple 3mm with the new 20mm over the top and your problem will be solved
-
@Shep1982 If you are unable to get a refund, you could put a simple slip on 3mm spacer first and then the new 20mm over the top. Then you'll have the clearance you need without the need to buy expensive new spacers (3mm slip on's are about a £5er)

You need at least a 23mm spacer on the front so that the studs do not bottom out on the back of the sport RAYS wheels. I had 25mm rear and 23mm front, but for the sake of being easy, I'd just order 25mm spacers all round if I were to do it again 25mm is nicely flush with the arches and I never had a single issue with rubbing in the arches, even when lowered about 30/35mm on BC Coilovers! I bought my spacers from TarmacSportz and they were very good. A set of 4 25mm spacers will set you back around £150 (£75 per pair).

Collected my duckbill wing from Nic over the weekend. Cheers for that @nissanman312 Also picked up my Nismo front bumper from Nissan in Bristol. Both now dropped of at Bodyworx for them to be prepped and painted! I'll be dropping my car of next Thursday for the bumper and wing to be fitted. Collecting Friday lunchtime! I've also got some Neodymium magnets to put behind the front bumper and on the back of my front plate so that there are no physical fixings holding my plate on, making it nice n easy to pull off for shows etc. Gel resin plates and 'Super Black' Z badges also ordered! It's coming along nicely

The Caravan Catcher v3.0 (370z) - MY17 Nismo!
Silverthorn replied to mattross1313's topic in Member Build Projects
Wheels look lovely - definitely a huge improvement over stock -
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows of anything on the market for blanking the DRL holes in the bumper? I will potentially get the Evo R DRL's in the future, but in the mean time a simple plastic trim piece to fill the holes would be ideal. I've had a scan online and can't seem to find anyone selling something like this, or anyone who's had a go making something themselves... Any info on the above would be great. Cheers

Wow okay I take It back Forget wrapping the rear of the car, those wheels will tie it together perfectly! I can't wait to see it once those are on
-
Totally agree mate! Without seeing it in person it's hard to comment - either way though, it looks absolutely lush! Well done
-
Stunning colour mate! Although I do agree, wrapping the rear bumper and part of the rear hatch may help tie it together. Either way though, I love the way the wrap is cut to follow down the rear quarter and into the sideskirt. Looks sweet Seriously tempted to wrap mine down the line and this definitely isn't helping the urge!
-
If you're still after a set of these you are more than welcome to mine of my 370. I'll be removing mine over the next week or so when my new badges arrive

SUPER BLACK 370Z 'Z' EMBLEMS
Silverthorn replied to Asad's topic in 350Z & 370Z Z Emblems Accessories Sales
Also interested in a set of these. Can you send me a PM with how to order? -
Dependant on how far you are willing to travel, Nissan in Cribbs Causeway, Bristol may be an option for you. It's one of their HPC's so they deal with a lot of 370's/GTR's etc. A FNSH can be quite valuable on resale, how much value it actually adds though is debatable. If you've already got a good garage you can trust I don't see why you shouldn't take it there.

You have a PM sir
