richiep350 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Fitted my break pads and did a little bit of carbon wrapping, not the best photo as taken on my phone but you get the idea, Before after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 lol the first pic is a facelift model mate, but since you are using it only for illustrative purposes i'll give you a pass.. I'm not a fan though, I have the smoked reflectors which I think look much nicer than the bright orange ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richiep350 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Carbon wrapping didn't cost a thing so il stick with that for now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Carbon wrapping didn't cost a thing so il stick with that for now lol yeah, keep an eye on ebay as they sometimes pop up, just remember the ones you're looking for are pre-facelift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narcotix Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've got the smoked reflectors as well .. Look much nicer than the orange ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDMaXX Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Any good place to get clear reflectors at? the ones i've seen are kind of spendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 just a point... aren't the reflectors there for a reason? is it an MOT fail to have them wrapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watshot Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 No requirement for front reflectors in the bumper, otherwise every car would have them, which they don't. More of a nod towards U.S legislation I would have thought. Side repeaters which flash orange are a legal (and M.O.T) requirement however, that's the one's below the Z badge on either wing.

ArsenalMoh Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This makes a massive different to the look of the car in my opinion. It's one of the first things I did to mine... viewtopic.php?f=9&t=58710 I'm now looking to get a few other parts of the car carbon wrapped....all small parts, nothing major. One of them is the spoiler...but I've heard it's a right b***h to get off, which is stopping me from getting a non specialist Nissan garage to do it.

rabbitstew Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 When I got mine, the first thing I had on my list was to replace the orange reflectors with clear ones. But, the missus pointed out to me that the orange reflectors actually match my orange interior and look okay. Here we are 12 months on and ive still not changed them and they look okay on my car. I guess if you dont have the alezan orange interior then the reflectors really do stand out and dont match the car at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The orange reflectors do match the orange strip in the older headlights though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDMaXX Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I agree it's likely a nod to the US for these reflectors, where they are, one way or another, required. However, i think replacing them with clear ones on my white car would be a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
