Front splitter / lip


Louisa911

Recommended Posts

Looking for a front splitter, any colour / material but good enough to repaint, preferably smaller than the Nismo style ones. (not too keen on the large wings on the corners, needs to look normal without side skirts as I can't afford them to bulk it out and balance out a huge lip yet!)

 

Thanks!

Have you tried PMing Tarmac about this one yet? http://tarmacsportz.co.uk/350z-stillen-oem-front-splitter.aspx

 

It's nicely subtle but very effective. I member had one fitted who sold up not too long ago but I can't remember his name for the life of me, btu I can remember his number plate C5UPE I think. AAAGGHHHH what was his name!?

That one looks a little better, had just gone straight past it in the ebay listings after spotting the corners- but guess they do look a bit smaller than usual replicas. Thanks for that. Will remember when it comes to getting bumper painted- although could look pretty good in black too :)

Thank you! Sorry Colin if you're still lingering.

Hi Louisa.

 

See you've not even got your car yet and your looking at mods. It's an all too familiar story... :lol:

 

I know you don't like the Nismo splitter, but in my thread you can see, or at least get an idea of how a colour matched one will look on a GM Zed.

 

Plus, you can also see what a wrapped centre console looks like as I know you've got a few scratches on the centre lid - Athough I know you don't like the carbon look either.

 

Basically I should of said "Here's my car - you'll hate it"! :lol:

Haha! Don't hate at all, the Nismo doesn't look quite so bold when painted up and colour matched! Yours looks great.

 

Regarding the trim- wonder if just the satnav cubby would look naff wrapped by itself? I've been in touch with Zedmanalex who will have some in stock eventually if not :D

I like your wrap - beyond my abilities tho! I struggle to wrap Christmas presents!

I'm the same, i don't like the massive corners on some of the nismo reps. This one http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649 has smaller corners.

Don't bother with an offer though, he just ignored me when i sent one.

 

Same splitter is on their web shop at £89.99... ;)

Nice spot, cheers for that. The cheeky sod ignored me when i offered £80, no counter offer or anything. Hmmm i wonder how good the customer service is.

Are you sure? I just looked and it was the same price http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Knight-Racer/Nissan-/_i.html?rt=nc&_fsub=5053875018&_sid=60445218&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1

But this is FRP / gel coat which is basically fibreglass and therefore can be brittle. Something as exposed and low as a splitter can too easily be caught on a kerb or speed bump. A fibreglass on could shatter/break. The splitter I had from Tarmac wasn't much more than this FRP one and made from flexible material.

Ah my mistake, cheers mate. I don't like the corners on Tarmacs, too big,

Does sound a bit dodgy mate. Not sure they sound like a trader I'd wanna deal with.

 

Looking at the corners on the white one in their eBay listing, they do look pretty much the same size as the one I got from Tarmac. If there is a difference, it ain't much.

 

EDIT: After looking at their site images, the one on their blue car is definitely the same size as mine. Especially the corners.

That's what i thought, the one on the car looks like tarmacs, not the one in the other pics. I don't think i'd risk buying from them, who knows what you'll get

Knight Racer does have a good reputation in the GTR Owners Club for high quality carbon parts for the R35.

 

I wasn't trying to imply they are at all "dodgy", many suppliers inflate their prices on EBay - I was just pointing out the difference!
