quick update - Markzx was completely correct email from japan; "Hi Michael, front spoiler is inside, due to lowered suspension it's too easy to damage when loading on to transporter or driving through ramp of the boat." top marks for customer care - plus it saves me the worry when i go to collect it with a trailer. i'll post some photos when it does arrive late feb -

lacquer is the automotive eqivalent of varnish - it is a protective coat on top of the coloured base coat. i would suggest to use plastic primer first, then base coat, then lacquer. all are available in cans. lechler do a product called lechsys (i think) which will spray direct onto glass, plastic etc, i have used it in the past to make a red lens from a clear one. i'm not sure if your local paint shop will load it into a can - might be worth asking though.

lol - awesome i can't tell you how long i studied that photo - but was looking in the wrong place can you tell me if it has had a recent cam belt :D no really - thanks for that - mind at rest now

i never thought of that - it just looks like it had 3 cutouts - and now has two - thats why i am thinking it has been swapped. the original photo also looks like the cutouts were sloping at an angle - and seemed to start further foreward in relation to the indicator? but its hard to tell from 2 different angles - can anyone with a stock bumper look at theirs from a similar angle? i will take this further without a doubt - just want to know as much as possible before i get in touch tonight. cheers for the replies though

Hi Guys - not been a member long, but i have a ZX, well sort of. it is in japan still waiting to be shipped. my problem is - i am sure the front spoiler has changed. i just want some conformation from people who see these day in and day out from all angles. i have been looking at these for a while now with a view to getting one. one of the reasons i liked the car was that the front spoiler looked a little different 9well it did). to me - the standard front spoiler reminds me a little of a 928 the way the lights are in the bumper then the spoiler sweeps under. the one i bought seemed to have a slightflair out at the bottom, detail at the sides, and looks to have three rather than two cut outs. there is also a mark on the right of the number plate below the small light. this has now gone and there are a couple of new ones - one below the indicator and one by the wheel. in fact the more i look at it - the more convinced i am that it has definately been swapped. i just want some reassurance before i create a scene - as there is still 2 or three weeks before it is shipped - plenty of time to resolve the problem (i hope) (by the way - before anyone comments on the rear wing - i am undecided till i see it :confused: )
