matt3579 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 so it been a bad few months for the 350 the clutch went december took a month to be delivered and at the end of feb the gearbox started making nice bearing rumble sound so £800 later a new box was fitted and that was about it. march came and went with no new parts (i know bad times) then payday came around and i ordered a nice cf cooling panel and i must say it look rather smart and hopefully will give it a little extra go too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt3579 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 bored one afternoon and decide that its gonna be a good idea to start painting the engine bay make it look it brighter and more show worthy so off came the engine cover and a couple days later the finished result was as so i should also aplogise this will be a longer post as i havent updated this for a month but here goes, so japfest came and went was a pretty good didnt really buy much nothing really caught my eye apart from some fabric as im sure many of you have seen more and more of us are having bride gear gaiters well i see some fabric and fancied it for my room lining too so out came the roof lining ready to be stuck on and while i was at it i though you cant have a grey interior light and a black roof lining so naturally that got carbon wrapped. the roof lining got put back in last night and was just getting dark, so no photos as of yet but will put some up in the next couple of days, also got a few more of the engine plastics painted they are just drying, so when they are dry and clear coated will put some more bay photos up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonGT4 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Look forward to seeing the roof lining, been wanting to play with some of that material 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt3579 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 aswell as doing the roof lining ive had a few bit out the engine bay for painting let me know what you think and then just cus i feel ive done enough now to warrant one heres a before and after pic of the engine bay first one is about a week or 2 after i got the car think the only things ide done is put the shiny bonnet catch on it, dress up kit, nismo oil cap and bonnet lifters what can i say i work fast and then of course the after 10 months of ownership shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt3579 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) so ive not updated this in quite some time but fear not i have been busy working away with something so first up i brought the v3 kit and sits sat in the garage for some time then i got bored looking so it so test fitting began. started with the rear bumper as it seemed the easyist .... then came side skirts and after alot of fiddling, sanding, shaping, filling and more sanding it was looking good Edited January 30, 2017 by matt3579 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3579 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) sadly i dont take a great deal of photos so its kinda a jumpy process but test fitted the front bumper and on sanded filled ect but heres what you want to see painted and fitted. and well to make it look the part and a bloody price visual mod well for a sticker anyway, upwards of £20 so lucky it went on perfect first time.... phewww this photo is before the front went on but has the rear and skirts painted Edited January 30, 2017 by matt3579 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 looks good I see you went for the version without the arches which is nice too fitment looks spot on...keep the pics coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt3579 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 so its coming together and looking good where would the veilside kit be without that sexy wide arch look so on they went sadly this side had to come back off as the petrol cap opened fine on test fit but when bolted on..... no so much so that has had some sanding and still in progess. but on the other hand the front looks sexy i have found that riveting the kit on is best however it gets a bit tense when your doing it and hear a crack :O the arch onto the metal is fine but arch onto the skirts and bumpers need a small amount of reinforcing on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
