friday

A big welcome back from me and Lucie mate (she sends you a kiss apparently! ;) :D ). Really glad it all went to plan and I'll give you a bell when I get back from Italy next week! Leigh.

It's a surprise.....;) If I showed you I'd have to kill you.....;) :rofl:

Just had a look through their entire range and couldn't find anything similar mate?

Thanks for the PM mate....blimey you work quick! :D The PSP of the wheels looks amazing, think they really suit the overall look of the car with the kit. Nice one bud! ;) :dance:

Made a bank transfer tonight from me and Lucie. It's HSBC to HSBC so should go in straight away :) Leigh

If you've got the time mate that would be great...;) Will have some work in progress pics to show you soon as well bud...and I think I may have sorted out the fitting problem...will PM and tell you the latest! ;) :D

Just dug up this pic of the original alloys they're based on: Enkei Arashis Think the Boss wheels actually look better! :D

Agree with you to a point mate. The 17's I'm running at the moment are great from a handling point of view but I've been in Zeds running 18's and TBH I didn't find they had a detrimental effect. Always said I wouldn't go above 18's, and it's unlikely that I will.....but.....;) :D

Yep, that where I saw them first! :D Think the originals are made by Enkei...muchos, muchos money! Mate, that would be fantastic if you don't mind! Would be looking for a set of 18's (though I haven't totally ruled 19's out of the equation...;)). Not sure what width fitment TBH though. Think I found the same guy, but when I had a look at his ebay shop he was only selling 17's in this type. Only down the road from me in Warwickshire as well! :)

With the work being done on my Zed at the moment I've started thinking about possibly changing the alloys. I have to say the ones I've got at the moment are the best I've ever owned, I really like the simple race look 5 spoke design. However, if I want to keep these alloys after the next round of body styling they're going to have to be kicked out a helluva lot by spacers to fill the arches so I've been wondering about a set of very wide 18's. A while back I saw a set of American rims that really caught my eye, and interestingly Boss have just released an almost identical copy of them. What do you think people?

Sweet Jesus and all the little orphans! :eek: :rofl: :rofl:

Difficult as it will be seeing her parked up and not being able to use her, like you say at this time of year with Christmas just round the corner, if it was me I'd wait. £150 is a fair bit towards the inevitable Yuletide costs! :) Leigh.

Cheers mate! Found this site last night http://www.uniquemirrors.co.uk and their prices seem very reasonable but will definately give your guys a bell! :) Damn. Busted. I couldn't afford a full respray in chrome effect paint so I had to improvise...;) :rofl:

Ok guys, this is a bit left field but bear with me...does anyone work with or have contacts that deal with mirror tiles (the small variety, about 2cmx2cm)? Thing is my folks are looking to do out their entire salon (a hair and beauty business) with these so I'm currently searching the net for a supplier who can get us them in bulk...and it just occurred to me there would be nothing to lose posting on here on the off chance someone might be able to help out! Bit of a long shot but keeping my fingers crossed.:) Cheers, Leigh.

Cheers mate, thanks for that ;) :D

A-ha....quite. Was wondering if there's anything that would need filling underneath it when it's taken off...the bodyshop hasn't taken it off yet.

Now my Lambo lights are fitted the black trim strip above it under the spoiler where the Fairlady logo should be on imports looks out of place and really needs to be bodycoloured. What's the usual way of dealing with this guys? Cheers, Leigh.

Had a trip over to QVR today to pick up some surplus bits that I'm selling and finalise a few things...and bearing in mind it only went in on Monday the Zeds already looking amazing! Lambo lights are in, sideskirts fitted (not smoothed in as yet) and the dent on the rear quarter from the accident has completely disappeared. The 99 spec front end is still to be modified (time consuming) and a few other things need to be done then phase one is complete...smooth...in more ways than one ;) Got to say the Lambo lights really improve the back, very impressed! :hyper: Leigh

Lol! I think there's an echo in here! ;) :D Thanks for the input guys. I'm about to run the project by the bodyshop at Nemesis Performance in Essex (where the kit came from) but I'll definately see what Peter has to say about it! :) Cheers, Leigh.

It's ok bud, I already know about PPS ;) Was going to email you about the work done on your car but couldn't get it to send for some reason! :rolleyes: :) Cheers, Leigh.

Can't believe it. He was one of my music idols. A great guy who'll be sorely missed :(

Cheers mate, about to email you :)

As some of you know my car went into the bodyshop (QVR in Daventry) on Monday for the first round of body modifications. I was originally going to get the final part done more or less straight after, however the price they've now got back to me with for this last piece of work has turned out to be INCREDIBLY high, even considering their good reputation and bearing in mind the old adage "you pays peanuts, you get monkeys". Although the car is going to look great (fingers crossed) when I pick her up, it's this last bit of work (the fitting of a non-300ZX specific kit) that is really the thing that would make it stand out...and is suitably difficult to execute. There would be a fair amount of cutting, shutting and smoothing involved. I can put it on the back-burner till next year (the kit is currently in storage) and try and get the money together (worst case scenario: sell the kit. Don't want to do it but it has crossed my mind :() but thought I'd ask around if anyone can recommend a good bodyshop that I can sound out about the project. I live just outside of Birmingham but TBH travelling wouldn't be an issue if a suitable company comes along. Cheers, Leigh.

V. funny but just been done! ;) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=40231
