cov350z Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 right enought wrapping for now onto some bits for the inside finally getting rid of that tan/orange/dogpoo/vinderloo colour bits of the O/H for mas so naturally she didnt think/know that i needed a boss and new knobs to fit these so i got busy on the old ebay and order my self a cheap china boss and a knock off sparco quick release and a proper set of sparco knobs and pedal set right the china boss was just plain rubbish wouldn't of fitted unless you removed all of the steering assembly including the indicator sticks and unit they attach to but at 15 wasn't to fussed but ended up with a full refund and didn't have to return item as it wasn't fit for its advertised car as for the knock off sparco snap off looks the business 2 solid bits of aluminum and a good mechanism and solid lock so that was a steel at only £15 the sparco knob and pedal set took a little longer due to a paypal issue so only got these today so fitted these with the gaiters i got at xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cov350z Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 so managed to get out in the nice dry weather we've had over the last day or two and get a little more of the car wrapped, both rear quarter panels are now done also had to redo the drivers side, side skirt as had taken a chunk out of the wrap going over a log at speed on a spirited run last week. had to removed the bonnet carbon wrap as some water had penetrated a small hole and it froze the other night causing about a 6 inch tear in the bonnet groves anyway gave me an excuse to wash the car and take a few pics, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cov350z Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 must say that as my first time wrapping a car and doing most of it on the side of the road by myself in the middle of winter its not looking too bad yes there is a few panels that need redoing, but that is why ive done it myself so i can practice on it as i may start doing it as a side business from a garage next year (once sourced a new house). now ive got to decide on a spoiler i want to finish off the back end. then on to the list of lip skirts and diffuser anybody got a few £££££'s they want to give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cov350z Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 so i finally got round to finishing the wrap taking the gt spoiler off was a pain, 3 hours later i managed to remove most of the residue left behind. next step spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cov350z Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 it isnt tbh i have a few panels to take off and redo as there crap. but i would do it again just not using a carbon look vinyl as it is a right donkey to work with maybe go matt black after the summer haha but not on the side of the road in winter again think ive got a few frostbite sores from the cold days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
