Very nice... where did you get the eibachs fitted? ...not that im going to NI, but i never trust local garages with replacing springs!

Yeh i wouldnt use the tape... i taped a lip spoiler to my bmw a few years ago, and within a week it had fallen off! silkaflex is nasty stuff to work with - its like chewing gum. You wouldn't be able to use that on the headlights. ...silicone all the way!

Very logical - makes good sense! But in reality its unlikely that would have happened... 2 previous owners, etc etc. Probably all just garage services before the customer takes delivery!

Hi all, I bought my zed in october last year at 35k miles. The garage i bought it from serviced it, but its time for another now - im at 45k my problem though is there is no history with the car - its an import, but has been in the uk since 2003 - but i dont know what services its had in the past... Im taking it to TDI North, and they've just emailed me a quote - A basic service is £98.76 The 30K or C service is approx £415 I REALLY dont want to drop £400 on a service at the moment... if i call nissan would they possibly carry some history on my car?? i know BMW do that, wherever you take it! What would you guys do??

Yeh, my stubby has worse reception than the standard aerial.

...i completed single player the weekend i got it, but since then have spanked the online multiplayer non-stop.

The standard 360 doesnt have HDMI output, so you cant buy an HDMI cable for it... you must buy an elite to get HDMI. Defo get the 360 though... i've only got 1 mate with a ps3,a and everyone else i know with a console has a 360. Call of Duty 4 is the greatest game ever (part from goldeneye).

Most important thing is what his mates have... i live on my xbox - on it online every night with a bunch of mates and we have a right laugh!!

i got so wound up about this sort of crap.

dibs... dont anyone bid cos i want it! anyone know the seller so i can make them an offer?

voted bud

:lol: Thats funny.

when you first do it there seems to be a never ending amount of 10mm bolts you can take the bumper off enough to get to what you want and leave the headlight washers connected Thats right... first time i did it i kept coming in to check the image i had on my laptop to see where the bolts were... i was scarred i'd break something! btw... search my posts and you'll find an ace diagram showing the bolt locations...

U dont have to take your wheels off bud. I've had my bumper off twice before... once to replace headlight, once to do front reflectors. It is really easy to do... just the bolts underneath (10mm i think) and the 6 tabs under the bonnet. Well easy. I can have mine off in under 10mins now! Only thing is - if yours is a uk car you may struggle with the headlight washers... you dont want to be disconnecting all that stuff... and im not sure you'd have enough clearance to get to the 2 headlight bolts....? Good luck.... PM if you get stuck!

Odd that - i really dislike it in carbon on the blade colour - just looks stuck on! Thats why i probably paid more for the frp version! each to their own...!

pm'd again!

... thats coming next month. But i got the intake duct with the eyelids from the states, and got them sprayed together ...and i wouldn't have been able to wait a month without fitting it!!

updated with pics now....

Hey guys, well, i've been looking forward to today for a while! I had my parts sprayed on Thursday and have fitted them today! I was up at 7am on the dot, and did a couple of hours' work from home, and then got on with cutting my bumper! I ended up making a template myself, and then cutting the bumper with a stanley knife while still on the car. Was easy to do, and took about 25mins to cut the piece out. My bodyshop filled the rivet holes on the intake duct and recommended i glue it on... they gave me a tube of this stuff called sicaflex? Anyway, its nasty stuff - a lot like chewing gum! So i put LOADS of that all around it, and on the car too, and let it go off for 5mins before putting the duct on. Now this was the scary part - the curve of the bumper was too much, so the duct wouldn't stay down in all 4 corners, so i sat there for an hour leaning on it!!!! My arms were killing me!! It appears to have dried now, and stuck mostly - but its not flush. There's about a 1mm gap around the whole thing where the glue is holding it in place... The bodyshop gave me the remaining paint in a can, so depending on what it looks like when i've picked all the dry glue off - i may very carefully paint the white 1mm line around the edge...! As for the eyelids... i know most people wont like them but it is the kind of thing i like (cheap and tacky!)... the fit on them isnt particularly good - but i've used clear silicone sealant to stick them on... the supplied 3m double sided tape was useless! So hopefully that'll do the trick! My wheels are hopefully on the way the week after next, and then i'll be having a break from spending till the end of august! Pics coming shortly after i've picked the glue off...! EDIT - okay sorry for the delay... had to go sofa hunting before the shops shut! ...ordered a nice big leather 3-seater... but there's a 14 week wait Okay, here's the pics.... feel free to give me jip over the controversial eyelids!

Im all for things like this, but i think you need to go with a theme and carry it on through the car... For starters i'd spray the mesh in your bumper black or anthracite to match...? Would be interested to see some more pics though, definitely!

I used personal shipper for the first time this week. Got to say, excellent service. I put in the pickup address at 11pm, and 2 days later they arrived. I had 1x wheel delivered and it was a total of £7.99!

http://www.barmeister.com/drinks/recipe/1916/ "...remove the green ones or it will taste nasty" Stu... i had a jalapeño plant last year and the chillis it produced were not hot at all... i was suprised. Does anyone know where to buy good sized japs from? I buy the tesco's generic chillies but they're not quite right... Anyway, i open them up and stuff with Philadelphia and raw Madagascan king prawns, and wrap in thin bacon.... then on the bbq for about 12 mins and you're away - my favourite side dish!

...thats a good question - the original method i read for it said to take them out cos they're naff flavours, but i just googled it and this guy is making individual flavoured bottles! http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/msbrackenridge/entry/the_something_random/ And emperor ming - he's trademarked your name. ha!

Thats crazy money! Are you sure they did a propper job? Did they totally smooth it down before painting to get all the existing stone chips out? That is very cheap.
