Front bumper looks rubbish. I think you should remove it immediately and to help save you any further embarrassment ill even swap it with mine to help you out.

 

I'm nice like that :teeth:

Cheers for the comments guys! Very pleased to say the least, just really want the skirts now! Lol

 

Yeah I thought smooth badge but leave the lines either side is best combo! It's a "Shine Auto" bumper? So its GRP and opposed to completly fibreglass. Got it off here few weeks back, had to be quick to get it! Lol

 

I appreciate the kindness Ian, may have to mull that one over lol

Right been a while since an update, as money is currently going on servicing and tyres...

 

*Service time*

1st of July, I went down to kaizer motors for my P3 service, plus spark plug and belt change. :thumbup: great service and a great guy, will defiantly be going there again!

 

The wiper was suffering a bit of corrosion, seems to be a common problem on these. So took them off, rubbed them down and sprayed loss black, also added Aero wipers while I was at it :) less than a tenna and a cleaner look.

Before

After, gloss black and aero wipers.

Quick snap of a typical Saturday for me and A mate. (when weather is good of course) door up, chairs out, music going, cars getting some attention :)

Also whipped off the 350z badge off. Nissan badge and wiper still to be removed!

Next little mod I am very pleased with. Holes obviously will be removed when the bumper is back in the bodyshop.

Took a lot of playing around and had to make a little bracket to make it fit. But some hours later its fitting just as I envisioned! Very happy with the result :D

And retracted..

And changed my orange indicator bulbs for silvertecs.

Also have some 6000K HID bulbs to be fitted along with some ultra bright led sidelights. Also have some window tint to do my back windows and will be ordering some gloss black wrap for the roof soon too :)

Cheers :)

For the bracket here is the ebay item number 230951961582

Word of warning, its designed for an american plate and also designed to go under the bumper lip, so to get it where mine where it is took a little more fiddling around. But perfectly do-able if you have some tools etc

 

and I payed £230 for my bumper to be sprayed and fitted, and badge recess smoothed, although they havnt done the best job if im honest and needs to go back.

Carbon wrap is this eBay item number 190764831163

Very cheap, and I love how it looks, best carbon wrap Iv personally seen. It also has the bubble free air release system. Havent seen any data sheets or anything like that for it so cant garantee on quality, but I have no signs of any problems, and a mate of mine has since been running this on the exterior, and that too seems to be holding up fine!

Unfortunalty not. But don't fit anyway as I'm a right plonker lol

 

Right well them wheels are back up for sale. But may aswell have a picture anyway. Least then you'll know what I was going for lol

And then a tiny update,

Changed both sidelights and dipped. Pictures aren't the best. Sidelights by themselves are very bright. Chuffed with them. And dipped beam I upgraded to 6000k HID. Over the standard 4300k.

4300k

E4F14910-D0B9-4C12-9E0C-2E5B82860885-39679-00000AF3596FE9F2_zpsf3e0661f.jpg

6000k

Also me and my mate Steve set about de wipering whilst we was at it. Replaced both the washer jet nozzle and obviously the wiper with rubber bungs sprayed gloss black.

Before (Steve insisted on Posing like a teapot)

And after. Much cleaner :thumbup:

And to finish off another one of the Man Den :)

I know the photos don't do it justice, I took them with the iPhone, and if you click the screen it focuses differently. I think I did that between pics. 6000k are much whiter in person, although personally I wouldn't of minded a tiny but more tint of blue in there.

 

But I suppose technically 4300k would be brighter? I noticed the 6000k are marginally not quite as bright on the road, but it's to be expected.
