Barnaby01 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi, I have just bought my first z and there is some heat damage to the bonnet, you can see it has no protection or sound proofing etc but there are clips there to hold some in, anyone know anywhere I can get some. Car is booked in for a re-spray but obviously don't want it to happen again On the same note, can anyone recommend a clear wrap to use afterwards for the Bumper as we live in a rural area and need all the protection we can get. Many thanks in advance. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi Karen, I've never seen a heat sheild fitted to the underside of a 350Z bonnet, or indeed the fixings for one. The fact that your bonnet appears to have been damaged by heat, doesn't sound good Have you got any pics of the bonnet or fixings you mention?

cmck13 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Need the photo but I agree never seen a heat shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Definitely no heat shielding on a zeds bonnet. The heat 'damage' is worrying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Could it be ally corrosion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Is the car modded? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby01 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Looks like its just dodgy paint, got a second opinion from someone who has one, plus spoke to the old owner who had it for 5 years and he said it just faded over the time he had it. We had it on the ramps, been right through it, its had a full service etc and it looks fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just faded? ...sounds like it wasnt being taken care of maybe? If I saw my paint 'withering' Id be polishing it or trying to get it restored with a detail. Btw what colour is it?

14N Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I know Nissan paint isn't the best or thickest, but I'd be really interested to see some photos of your issue if you've got them? Just to satisfy my own curiosity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby01 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tis black as per my pic and to be fair it hasn't, when we serviced it the plugs didn't look like they had been out for years etc. we did give it a good clean and polish last weekend but there is some other damage (not related) as well so may as well get it all re sprayed together, plus needs new tyres. Loving the drive to work now, as all bendy lanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
