dave_7 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 On 14/02/2021 at 21:34, davidv10 said: Tiny update this one. I have looked around for ages for Nismo centre caps but no-one seems to make them for the 370z alloys (54mm off the top of my head). I did however see Nismo adhesive centre cap toppers, that were slightly larger than the centre caps. So i decided to get creative, got another set of standard Nissan centre caps that looked like the Nissan badge just popped off, and it did. So i popped the nissan badges off them and then stuck the Nismo toppers onto them and popped them in to the alloys. The way the alloys are, they are fine being a little larger than the centre caps and sit perfectly. The adhesive seems strong and they shouldnt come off. And so i now have Nismo centre caps... Excuse the distorted picture, but this is what they look like. this looks great! where did you get the cap toppers from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidv10 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Completely forgot to update this thread for my latest update Finally went ahead a bought some 20mm spacers all round. Ive always hated how pushed in the wheels looked. And the difference now is amazing, they sit just how i want them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidv10 Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Another update i forgot to put on here… I tinted the DRLs. I had de-chromed everything else on the car, so tinted the DRLs to get rid of the last bit and to match the headlights. I dont know why i didnt do it sooner as it looks a lot better now imo 👌 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the bumper is off they only have 2 screws and a plastic bumper clip, and then unplugging the connector. Takes 2 seconds.

davidv10 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 So its been a long long time since i have updated this thread. I had boot lid resprayed to get rid of the scratches from removing the V2 Nismo spoiler, which had been annoying me for a while. At the same time i decided to get the rear wiper hole filled so i could get rid of the black bung. It came out perfectly and im very happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidv10 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 So for my 30th birthday i thought a nice gimmicky present would be a personal number plate. Really happy with it and the short plates really suit the car 👌 I went for a slightly wider rear plate to fill the rear bumper section a bit more. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Really envy you having a car port. Car protection from the sun and the rain and lots of space I have a small garage but it's a tight fit and a bit of a faff to shuffle cars round to get in and out so I keep our occasionally used Kia Sportage in there and park the zed on the drive unless I'm detailing or topping up the battery. Ideally I'd like a car port too........or a massive double garage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
