2012 - Mods Planned - Bodywork Recommendations

[JackStrong]

Hi All

 

Though not going to be done for a few months I wanted to start a log of things to come. Would have started sooner but the window motor replacement set me back £200 so need to get more funds first. Anyway, first the car:

 

 

Much like the GTR I want hood scoops on the bonnet, no real purpose other than bit more cooling I guess. Plus the classic black splitter mod, but may get the stick on £100 ones, undecided as it may intrude out too much. Possibly skirts though am undecided, as you can see my drive is a bit gravelly ..crack :S Photoshop:

 

 

Next I saw a ebay add for a 350z who had smooth nismo spats, think they look amazing :

 

 

 

So anyway, does anyone know of a good body shop to do the spats and hood, smoothed and sprayed ? I live between Northampton and Cambridge, Huntingdon to be precise.

 

Opinions welcome

I have been planning to do this mod for a while now. I think the N1 spats smoothed into the rear bumper look amazing!

I have never seen it done up until now and this has defiantly spurred me on to get it done.

 

All I need is some cheap N1 spats and I will get this done.

2 quick things.....

 

First of the bonnet vent - just don't. Chavvy in the extreme. If thats the look you like, then get yourself a Seibon bonnet or similar. One that is designed to have the holes/vents

 

Secondly - its all well and good getting the spats blended in. But be aware that the slightest pressure on the bumper in any position will likely cause the paint to crack along the blended seams.

Its been a long time since this photos was posted and I do apologize for my late post here. I'm just interested at the topic here. Anyway any updates for this? Is this your car? Nice ride out there. Paint and body works are really furnished. And I'm afraid that I might not help you looking for body shop. The first two photos might look great if hood scoops will be installed on it.

No worries.

 

Updates:

• I have a genuine nissan front carbon cover, looks great though isnt actually carbon :S ... but guess it wont fracture
  Fibreglass rear spats ready to go on. Though a quote has put me off the idea for a bit

 

Not sure on the bonnet vents anymore, bit chavy. I did have carbon mirrors but didnt like how they looked when the mirrors folded. Which happens every time i lock the car as I have the cookbot autofold mod on.
