Nismo V2 on!

Travelled all the way down to Bournmouth today to swap my sunset orange bootlid with a nice guy called "buster" from the 350z-UK forum.

He had the Nismo V2 on his boot lid but didnt want to remove it due to having to get the whole bootlid reprayed because of the bonding and screws required to hold the V2 spoiler in!

So I paid him £150 and my boot lid in exchange and he kindly swapped it over for me!

So £150 + £90 fuel there and back = £240 for a tasty Nismo V2 spoiler installed and painted. Worked out a lot cheaper than buying one seperatly and getting it sprayed and fitted myself (around £400!)

Heres the pics:

Should have just swapped cars ;) 350Z with a nismo kit and decent alloys.. one of my fav cars. At one point I could afford one and was going to get a nicely kitted GT, but then we moved and a puppies + baby came along lol.

V. nice Nath :)

BTW.. you should remove all the registrations from the pictures :) (Especially busters as a courtesy to him :) )

Oh also.. take a look at Greddy Gravity's for alloys :)

Did you see what he was doing in his Zed Shed?

I just bought a set of these.

Yeah man, that supercharged zed is WIDE.

Are those for the bonnet or boot lid man?

So that's the big man's house then?

Not a fan of the wing though mate. You need the rest of the kit and it might change my mind if you have the full set :p

Nah not the "big man's house", my stepdads house.

Each to there own, I just reckon the 350z needs alittle to finish off the rear and stop it looking too much like an Audi TT :p You can get subtler wings but I like the V2 one :) Planning on getting the res of kit in time but the swap on the wing came up and couldn't turn it down!

Those are for the bonnet because balls to using a stick to hold my thing up. Also, rename this thread the Zed Thread. Just because.

A fun afternoon of testing out Plastidip before I get my wheels on Monday, so I thought I'd change the colour of my door handles!

Cleaned and degreased using

First coat of Plastidip

Second coat was of the same thinness, this is after the third coat

Tada

Finally got some photos of the FlyEyes on the rear LEDs, excuse the disgustingly dirty car for my standards, will be getting cleaned on Monday!

What is the world coming to? People are now deliberately making their door handles black plastic like some mid 90s poverty spec Corsa? :p

Lovely car. I think the spoiler looks a little OTT but as part of a kit it will be awesome. Sounds like you got a good deal.

I have a black GT pack and feel it needs a spoiler but I'm sitting on my hands, its a slippery slope once you start changing things! New stereo is the priority at the moment i think.

Yeah new head unit is on the cards at some point, I miss having USB & AUX input! Thinking of doing a reversing camera mod, not because I need it, just because it will be cool :)

Same here, it only adds about £20 on to the cost but about 4 days on to the labour!!!

The guy who did the huge guide on 350z-uk is what I'm going to follow.
