Lush

LOL

They haven't seen it yet, but i'm sure i'll get loads of head shaking with no back seats, too low, bad economy, too fast comments :rasp:

 

[Harpham]

You'll be too busy munching on fresh Apple Pie to be listening to them though ...

 

[Gaz.]

Dooooo the vinyl!

 

[Matthew]

Oh, and Matt, I didn't buy this to save money

Lol. No seriously mate, looks spot on, very jelous.

 

[JD]

Looks good Mike, thought I was out of touch after your posts in the S2K vs thread!

Not keen on it in silver, red or blue for me. Been considering one but decided against it as not 100% with the looks yet. Although the PS above does wonders for the front end!

 

[Englebert]

Forgot about Gary G's car, that looked so cool!

Nice buy, but having seen Gary's car again it looks a little anaemic looking at yours!

 

[Gally]

Looking really good Mike. Looking forward to seeing it at CSS.

Needs vinyl'd!

 

[Iain C]

love em. Are they any good tho?

I'm waiting on a friend of a friend to do the vinyl'ing. Will text him tonight about it.

It looks unlikely I'll be at CSS, I was supposed to be getting a lift down, but he's decided not to go now so dont think I'll end up going on my lonesome.

Small update.

Got a carbon fibre front lip in the end, instead of vinyl. The guy who makes them works for RBR and the quality if superb. Got a free can of red bull too

Also change my number plate for a self adhesive type, I would of rather had the plate in the lower grill but couldn't due to the mounts for the old holder. I will eventually be getting the front end resprayed because there are quite a lot of stone chips (any zed owner will be able to tell you how bad they are!) so will get the holes filled and it sprayed over then.

It has really freshened up the front end today though, very happy compared to before

Also got a smaller aerial too, the old one was just too big

Will give it a wash and maybe even polish tomorrow, ready for CSS next week!

 

[Matthew]

Looks alot better pal.

 

[Coby.]

Looks great.... Still really want one.

 

[chriscummins7]

the photo's hurt my neck. Car looks spot on though mike!

 

[Scrooge]

Great improvements! I actually didn't realise how shite the numberplate holder was until I see the self adhesive one.

 

[Philip.]

Looks great. Nice job

 

[Harpham]

iLike. Massive improvement. Im looking forward to seeing this.

Drifted yet?

 

[MaLicE]

do a rear bumper tuck.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I give it a fortnight before you get pulled for having a girlsname. Oh no, I mean for that plate. Silly me...

 

[Christopher]

Looks great, but you're worse than I used to be for jaunty angles! lol.

 

[jenic]

Why?

Legal height, legal spacing, legal sized plate, legal amount of reflectivity. The only thing its missing is the BS or EN number whatever it is.

Love a bit of carbon

 

[LowLife.]

Isn't that illegal then? Not having the BSA number?

(I think that is what it is called!)

 

[Gray]

Does the RBR carbonfibre guy make any other parts?

What type of carbonfibre is it?

 

[Gaz.]

Looks 590% better.

 

[Davis]

looks great! Ive got a big soft spot for these!

 

[jenic]

Does the RBR carbonfibre guy make any other parts?

What type of carbonfibre is it?

I asked him and he just replied, its a 2x2 twill he says. Apparently he's really busy at work, he's been trying to make more 350z moulds but hasn't had time so doesn't want to start anything else just yet.

 

[Gaz.]

Technically it is, but only a very keen police officer or MOT tester will notice.

Mine were never noticed by the Police or at the MOT test centre!

I think I am going to remove mine for the peace of mind etc.

 

[MarcoB]

It doesnt matter about BS numbers at MOT time any more.

<3 I want one.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks nice.

 

[Turkish]

Crying out for some wheels, stance and a front (& possibly rear) lip of some description.

 

[Cro]

So much potential, its where i'm going soon. Work the magic Mike come on

 

[jenic]

Cheers for the pics Dan, good work!

I've been looking at Rota's but i like the Rays wheels, and its an option i was looking for when i got the car so doubt i'll change them.

Going to get some spacers on the wheels, can't drop it though since it scrapes if i drive onto my drive as it is, i can only reverse on. No lips here for the time being either, since they are so expensive for what they are, i'll wait for a cheap front lip, or possibly front bumper with lip on ebay and it'll get done when i get the front bumper resprayed.

 

[ipodsandguns]

I know about the situation with a drop but a good drop and colour change to wheels would be awesome I think.

Second hand legit wheels over Rotas, there are bound to be some knocking about on various forums either Z owners club related or drift forums. Do you know what other models share the correct offset/PCD/Centre bore?

Is the issue getting off the main road or the slope of the drive itself?

 

[jenic]

its where the uphill of the pavement meets the downhill of the drive. The drive is getting modified in a couple of weeks anyway to accommodate my new works 4X4 so it might be better then.

It was the same with my clio too, could reverse on but not drive on, and that wasn't silly low.

 

[Turkish]

Guess just have a reassessment of the situation once the drive has been modded. Fair few of the super low stanced crew make ramps from a few bits of wood glued together to level the transition out. Throw it down chuck the car on the road then lob the wood back in the garage.
