Looks awesome with the lip and skirts

 

Only thing I would do different is go with the mesh grille

 

I had a look at them but I feel it would make it too racer looking for me, plus the original grille actually channels air upwards to the intake

if you look at that picture there, theres a scoop at the front that connects to the aibox same as mine. Different from the zeds as they have a duct where the front panel is.

Really nice looking car, shame my v35 isn't yet at that level. Great build thread :thumbs:

 

Thanks what have you done to yours? I havent really seen many about in person..iv seen a black one with blacked out tints in Manchester onetimeit looked amazing!

Not too much at the moment, got it in October, silver on 19" team dynamic Wheels.

 

I've done the Ztube upgrade and fitted Apexi power intake filter.

 

Then some sensible stuff like changing Aux belts and cabin filter.

 

Fitted a reversing camera

 

Replaced passenger side window motor

 

About to Fit an H-Dev grounding kit and an OEM front bumper lip which I found on Ebay

 

They do seem to be rare, the Guy I bought the Front lip from said only 140 V35 / G35s in the UK.

 

Planning to go with the silver and black theme looks wise, I don't like the wheel & Tyre set up ive got so will look to change these along with lowering it and replacing any worn bushes / drop links etc.
