martinmac Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Nice one Kev looks great, will pop in and see you on a Northbound run this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That front is absolute gash, but the back is somewhat better (the spoiler is a little too large IMHO, but then so are most Zed spoilers so there you go). That front though... Honestly... Tell me you won the bet? Each to their own bud anyways, it's your car not mine and as long as you're happy that's all that matters. Hell, it might just be the angle of the photos and it could look okay in the flesh for all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, it might just be the angle of the photos and it could look okay in the flesh for all I know. i think it is the angle actually, cos the front is good, its the back i dont like, and to be honest i wish i hadent bothered at all as its been nowt but trouble getting the kit on properly, and the bonnet did not fit at all properly so i kept original on, i carnt seem to find any vents to put in it thou, anyway thanks for your comments kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Heh, the more I look at it the more I like the rear! Which kit is it anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 You asked for comments so I hope you don't take this personally but I hate the front and the wheels - they remind me of some dodgy Beetle-based kit car. The back's OK - the spoiler's a little large but not OTT. Each to their own with full bodykits I suppose but the Zed is such a beautiful car this makes me want to weep.

bigphil Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Heh, the more I look at it the more I like the rear! Which kit is it anyway? Veilside version 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Cheers Phil *googles for other pics of said kit* O. M. F. G! No offence meant personally Kev, but your pics are actually the best I can find of that kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It's certainly a different approach to most bodykits people have fitted I'd like to see it in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevgreen16 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 It's certainly a different approach to most bodykits people have fitted I'd like to see it in the flesh well i wanted to make the car a little sexier and stand out a little more, i was in two minds weather or not to do it in the first place, car is only a year old , but i agree with most of the comments, spoiler is a little big, front is ok but too low (not speed bump freindly) i dont like the square bits to the rear bumper, kit fits pretty good but not perfect, and i have lost the towing eyes and my head light washers, it looks too much like summat from tokyo drift (too boy racer realy) and the wheels will bling it up even more, oh well, good thing is nothing has been altered for it to fit to car and i can have it put back to original any time, probably wont be long till i dammage front bumper anyway, thanks all kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 original and different and that white van is still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 that front is a Veilside version 2 , looks horrible in other colours but in black looks alright they are not the original headlights on your car where did you get them from and how much as look really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 And congrats kev on finally getting the engine thing sorted out, it resally has taken ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I really like the rear bumper its a bit like mine only doesn't look stuck on (which mine is). Have you got a pic taken of the side? Agree that the kit is a bit fast and furious but car modifying can get to a point where the car is more of a work of art (eg Paul's hulk machine). Kit maybe not to everyone's taste but gotta appreciate how it looks. Bet if you're at a meet you'll get more people paying attention to your car than cars with safe looking kits like my V1, or the Nismo. Don't doubt yourself mate, if you like it that's all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 they are not the original headlights on your car where did you get them from and how much as look really nice They look like (06?)/07/08 OEM headlights to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Just another example of "ongoing problems". I bought my subtle wheels from Kev. At the time he was having problems with his new car. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ht=#105145 Following on from this he had oil consuption problems, the known issue So I am glad to see that nearly a year down the line he is getting there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 would love to know where he got the 06 headlamps and how much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well the car isn't old so I think it came on it Jay. The 04 plate is a private reg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Not a massive fan of the kit mate! But thats wat modding is all about, being diff from other peoples cars. If you like it thats all that matters! I used to have a modded focus with lambo doors,decals all that jazz some people loved it some hated but i didnt care lol cause she was my baby hahaha! So the point of this ramble is well done for doing somethin a bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well the car isn't old so I think it came on it Jay. The 04 plate is a private reg. Pic that Gix posted had the Mk1 lights and the ones posted with the body kit have the new ones.. It may be a different car though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
