Well, as days go by, I am seriously thinking about putting some money aside for an eventual colour change. Most likely a Nissan colour. I like the KH6 pearl white a lot. Glows nicely in the sun.

 

BUT, the longer I keep it, the more I fancy a change. I want something a little more crisp and/or vivid.

 

Body will have some very minor changes. 99-spec front bumper being the main one. The rest will be as-was except with the addition of UK spec glass.

 

....and, shock horror, maybe some side skirts. I only really like a few. Kaminari and Stillen being the main two. Now.....this might sound odd as I can't stand the wings west kit for the Z. It's nearly as ugly as the Veilside stuff.....BUT, I've always wanted to mod their skirts to get rid of that awful and pointless little vent in the side. The skirts themselves (minus the vent) are actually quite nice and sit just below the swage line. Mate that with a 99-front and it would work well. The 99 front has a different angle than the stock bumper on the dropsides and sits flatter on the sides than the original bumper. Because of that, the contour of the sill sections aren't quite as much of a match as they could be. So, Wings west skirts without the fieldmouse vent would work well IMO.

 

I did a little edit....

 

 

The colours....well....of course, Bayside blue...

 

 

Or possibly the super white pearl of the new 370Z (which I think is called Glacia pearl white). I like the Lexus pearl more, but want to keep the colours Nissan.

 

 

blue!!!!! Blue!!!!! it looks good in the day and even better at night... and when the sun shines on it...... its awesome.....

who is this has someone got Funkysi password?

Having seen skyline dave's new colour on his car in the flesh i have to say bayside blue, it's beautiful!

play the song and listen to the words Si you know it makes sence

Nope, not having a black car. I like black Z32s, but would never want mine black. I have a black Seat leon and I detest keeping it spotless. Black isn't 'bright' either. Want something eye catching without being garish. So a light and bright OEM type colour is always one I've wanted.

Blue it is then ?! :smash: :duffer:

What colour is his?

What colour is his?

 

Mazda Atlantic blue. It's metallic not pearl like Bayside blue and it's lighter.

Well i know what a stickler for nissan you are si so i'd go for the proper bayside blue personally with the 99 spec bumper aka:

 

 

Yup, that's it. BUT with UK glass to match the colour better than the bronze of the JDM glass.

bayside mate but with a pre- 99 bumper with a stillen lip:bow::bow:

That's another option that I've often thought of. I'd have to get the whole stillen kit then for everything to match up. Sides, rear bumper and front extension.

 

That does look lovely it has to be said :D

ide go for stillen front,impull skirt and leave the back to show off thems luveerrrly evolution cans and bayside:bow::bow:..just think them 99 fronts take off the aggresive flowing stance the zed has

Thing is, with the sides and front fitted, you have a much larger swage like on the rear. I'm a stickler for getting everything to match which is why I dislike most aftermarket bumpers on stock bodied Zs so much. They just look horrendously out of place.

 

I'd have to do the full thing or go another route if I were to fit the Stillen stuff.

What bout keeping the pre 99 bumper but modding it. This has crossed my mind as my front does need a respray...

 

 

Smooth/fill away that silly 10mm wide line recessed band that runs across the top front.

 

Smooth out the usually grey band area that the indicators/fog's sit in. Make it all flush and nice.

 

Add stillen lip.

mine had a stillen rear when 1st bought..sold it to steve (aka blackmagic)

:hurl:

 

Sorry mate, but I've seen that done and it looks dreadful. Plus I want absolutely NO filler anywhere near my Z!

 

IMO, the Z needs that line on the sides as it gets higher the further down the car it goes, giving it a little kick on the back end.

i really really like the 99spec front but if i had the choice i think i would go with the stillen lip looks awesome obviously IMO. Like i say it looks awesome and its a little different as a lot of zedders have gone down the 99 spec route.

White looks really cool. Bayside blue is NICE... whichever u choose i am sure will look good mate.

the thing with 99 is they tried to make the front look "pretty" and imho ruined the look

I have mixed feelings on the 99 front as well. I do like it, it makes it look more modern...if done correctly....ie without the ravages of mesh which make them look cheap and nasty, but as you say Bri, doesn't look as aggressive as the original.

As much as I like the 99 spec front, I agree with znut that it makes the car look a little tame, and it somehow doesn't look as low/wide. Personally I'd also vote for the current front but with a stillen lip.

Actually the guy with the axe is a friend of mine. For those that may remember, he was 'Hawk' from the first few series of Gladiators.
