shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 had some on the car for about a year bought them of big phil great struts but rusted badly which i knew they would when i bought them (cheap enough) wondered if anyone had bought some from elsewhere which stood up to the bad weather better cheers Quote
Stew Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Mine are quite rusted, keep meaning to polish them up and coat them in Bilt Hamber autobalm to see if that helps. You could maybe try and get carbon ones? Quote
shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 carbon know what your saying but from where???? ill try polish it out but dont think it will get rid of it fully!!! rather just get some better quality ones Quote
shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 see if i he sticks a price up here then Quote
sunset350z Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Bought mine in black from this company, still looking like new. They also do the carbon ones http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-CARBO ... 240%3A1318 Quote

martinmac Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Phil stopped using those for that very reason and changed his supplier. Quote

shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 what about the import tax on that though Quote
Stew Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 You could clean yours up and either carbon wrap or paint them..... Lets face it, you're not losing anything by trying! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 what about the import tax on that though No import tax, as I deal with Tein UK... Quote
shire350Z Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 no i ment with the ones for from theUS at £55!!! could idea stew cars going in for a front bumper/ bonnet and skirts respray to get it in top condition again for the show season so might get them sprayed orange then!!! mind orange might look abit to much!!! Quote
Stew Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 As I say, nothing to lose. Not going to cost much and if it looks crap then replace! Coould do the ends of the body orange with the centre part carbon or something... Quote
sunset350z Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Didn't pay any import tax, but if you had to, it wouldn't be much. A fiver at the most. I seriously wouldn't hesitate getting another set. Comes with nice brackets and the bolts are flush fit, so no cutting of any plastic trim. Quote
