Hi all, just finished doing the rear lights kindly supplied by Z32King (thanks again) and repainted the rear wiper arm looking much better now from the rear just got to replace the badges. Some before and after photos included.

 

Regards Andy

Nice to see it being smartened up. Nothing worse than the chrome sticking through all the trim. It's bad enough seeing it on the roof and window trims. One of the first jobs I did on mine. I replaced the rear arm anyway for a Primera/Laguna one, but a repaint instantly makes it look neat. Suprised at the amount of Zs with shabby looking wipers. It's not a hard job to do nor expensive.

hi, yeah ive just replaced all the chromed trims looks so much better because they are the first thing that catches your eye. im really please how the z is looking now its all standard but i like that.

Nothing wrong with standard mate. A rare and pleasing sight these days!

the car looks very clean and nice now mate. very smart. good job :D

Wow what a difference - looks a hell of a lot better :bow:

 

Repainting trim and wipers is on my list, its just finding the time and motivation to do it!

i thought both of these jobs was going to be a pain but when you get going i only took me 2 hours and i was washing my hands. plus its nice doing things to the Z that improve its look but not wasting loads of money.

 

Regards Andy

Good job there mate, I'm in the process of doing my mouldings and wipers. Have to say was impressed with the quality of the original wipers when taken back to bare metal. Nice chunky things.

 

It takes years off the car and is well worth doing.

Hear hear!

Si, are the Primera and Laguna wipers the same? I've been looking for one recently for mine, but have only been looking for the primera one as I got it into my head the Languna wasn't as long?

 

 

As a slight aside, I replaced my front wipers recently with the single beam 'Aero' ones (ebay link), and I recon they make a surprising difference to the appearance of the car, a lot slicker and more modern. I think the fact that you stare at them all the time your driving makes them more significant than you would think as well!

I did this to my wiper arms and mouldings the other day - its amazing how it can spruce up the old girls!
