Chesterfield Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Whats peoples thoughts? Ive found this pic, but cant see it too clearly.. Anyone got any better pics of a roadster with this kit, or maybe some other roadster kits - dont want to change the bumpers though, just lips and skirts!

Guest prescience Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Why a kit Chris? I suppose I'm a performance man through and through and it would be the last expenditure on my list. Get it to a point where it can justifiably sport a fancy kit is my mantra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Im more of a looks fan, and without serious expense, im not going to gain that much performance. I just think that after looking at other Z's around, the roadster looks a bit "naked" or unfinished without some subtle trimmings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Looks mint mate, I'm thinking bout chopping mine in for the 06 (just waiting for the locals to get a demo in) and if I do it'll def be getting that kit on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_MSM Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Totally agree Chesterfield, it does look a little bare as standard. I've ordered the speed racing kit through Valerio and have also added some 19'' Racing Hart rims. Nothing too OTT just think it will look finished now. That Nismo kit looks good, will try to find some more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I like the speed racing kit too! I dont want to nick all Vals ideas though - LOL. Just a fair few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't meant to have but allegedly they do! Not sure whether its a coupe or roadster though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Sweet Jacko, cheers for the tip Just spoken to them and you're bang on, they'e got 1 in. Its a coupe which is what I'd be looking at anyway. Just booked my test drive for Saturday so I'll let you all know my thoughts next week, if I think on I'll take the camera and post some pics of those new lights!!!

AK47 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Chris I really like this kit on the roadster, It'll look great on yours but just beware the cinquecento's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just booked my test drive for Saturday so I'll let you all know my thoughts next week, if I think on I'll take the camera and post some pics of those new lights!!! I've already sat in one a week back (sorry not had chance to detail what I thought ) and had a good look as Westway in Manchester had one in, but not in demo. Tbh, I wasn't that impressed in the differences..... but from what I remember. Good: Nice bits of leather on the door where arm rests. Same: All plastics on transmission tunnel/dash is exactly the same. Not better in quality. Who cares: Changed gear stick surround to a different style of silver Air con dial surrounds are now silver. Steering wheel buttons have wording on Not sure if I like: Front lights have little dimples on top, personal opinion is it looks a little cheap/aftermarket. They didn't look that different apart from that. Rear LED lights look just ok in daytime, but bet they nice at night. But that saying I would be interested to hear what you think Andy as to the differences in engine/performance. But sure some of these things are personal preference....

Nick_MSM Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Found these pics mate - Looks spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Aye it does with a nice Nismo kit and wheels But I love the red roadsters. I'm assuming thats an '06 version? But the point being that a lot of the changes you don't see. I mean the little dimples in the front lights, you don't see till you on top of them. I think I was trying to say that its good for a pre 06 owner that apart from the engine, there isn't that many changes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddyonholiday Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The version in the pics is clearly an import (back number plate size) But it does look good with the kit i must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colesy1976 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Got a couple of pics of my car if you want a look.... I'll have to download them in .pdf format though as too big in size..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 I now need some more advice. We (yes its a joint decision with the missus) have decided that we really like the Greddy kit. Well, at least the front lip and side skirts. As for the rear - thats where the advice comes in. Heres the front and sides. And yes - they do make a twin exit rear, but its a little "plain"... The rears that we may consider puttng with this are: The Nismo. and The Kaminari: Anyone got any other ideas on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Not a fan of any of the rears. The Greddy looks the best. The Nismo and Kaminari look to much like takky bolt ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think a full Greddy is on the cards then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think a full Greddy is on the cards then. How much is a Greddy kit then? I think I need to see a few kits in person to be able to see/feel the difference.... I think the only one that I have seen in person so far is the Nismo kit. Pity Liam can't make the NW drive or could have taken a look at others. Has anyone else got kits on thats coming (well soon know sure enough anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Val has the speed racing kit. I dont know how much a full greddy is. Cant find a UK distributor, or even a US one that will ship to the UK. in the US, Ive found it for about $1000 which is about £600. Not too bad, but if I cant get it in the UK, then Ill have to see if I can get some friends in the US to take delivery and arrange to post it to me!

Removed Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 oh I don't know how you could, but it's ugly mate, AND very common on roadsters now (Grant, Colesy, NickMSM etc etc etc) so you don't wanna go there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colesy1976 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thats not very nice Minel! Anyway, its all about personal taste.... Why don't you give me some ideas on how to spec the power up? Mine is bog standard at the minute, but i've got to stop my Supra buddy from taking the mick! Anyone who can give me advice will be a star....
