Subtly styled black '04 350z

Hola amigos,

 

I've been infected by the mod bug for two years, but after lots of introspective therapy I think I've... errr.... finished? Well, at least styling-wise I've finished. Next, I'm off to Horsham to fit a plenum spacer and remap the engine. THEN, I'll be finished... Unless I supercharge her, or fit a bonnet bulge... erm... you get the jist :lol:

 

I like to keep mods tasteful. Interested to hear whether you agree.

 

Mods are:

- Linea Corse LC818 rims (19x11 rear, 19x9.5 front)

- Eagle F1 A2 tyres (195/35 rear, 165/35 front)

- Tein Street Basis Coilovers (no idea of current height, sorry)

- DBA T2 rotor brakes front and rear (Brembo spec)

- Ferodo DS2500 pads

- K&N panel filter

- Custom four pipe exhaust (resonator delete, cat-back)

- New D2S Xenon bulbs 6000K (amazingly bright)

 

Garages used:

- Fully Loaded Cars, Tottenham (Marco and his team are seriously good - they did most of the work and fixed my A/C when an A/C specialist couldn't find the problem!)

- Style Dynamics, West London (for a beautiful sounding and fully custom exhaust, with just-noticeable power gain)

 

Mistakes I made along the way:

- Tried to fit a Stillen splitter (didn't fit, very expensive, terrible for London speed bumps)

- Seat Leon splitter (cheap and looks OK, but a bit ricer IMO)

- Excessive lowering (created so much rear camber, £450 worth of tyres lasted only 1 year)

- Bought 4x bulbs (only need two apparently)

 

If any Z folk live near London N4, let me know if you're going to a meet. About time I joined one...

P.S. I now have a Seat Leon splitter for sale, or for free... anyone want it, for a fiver or something!?

IQuick question with the tyres though... are you sure you're running 195/35 and 165/35's?? Seems very skinny for a Z especially when you say the rims are 11 and 9.5 respectively 

Gotta be a typo, look like 295 and 265 to me.

 

Quite like the quad pipes on a black Zed too, nice one. :)

I'm not a massive fan of the reflectors, mines been debadged, had the reflectors removed and fibreglassed over, in my opinion it gives it a much sleeker look.

 

I'm running a miltek cat back but may consider something like your quad if I get bored/need to replace it!

 

That's mud on the front lip after taking her out, not stone chips :dry:

Never seen that done before, it does look a bit odd you have a lot of real estate there on the front of the car with nothing on it (maybe debadging makes the effect more pronounced?) - personally I would have as Dan said smoothed the whole thing if fibreglassing? Would have come up a bit like the V3 nismo front bumper?
