Default SPEED-RACING Italian kit on my car...

UPDATE:

took off sideskirts in torrential rain this morning, have sore throat now...

went to Steve's and after the 50 miles trip, my car (washed yesterday ffs) was nicely baked in mud and... salt. Didn't look Azure, but greyish, hence Steve's concerns about colour matching. All was ok though, once we cleaned bits and compared them with the new parts.

Rear looks . Skirts look Front looks .

Anyway skirts on first with no issues.
Started cutting the mesh for the rear, and a group of BLOODY WOMEN comes over to Steve's and distract him, chatting to him about some work stuff. End of the story, he cuts one side of the 2 meshes exactly the same as the previous one, instead of mirroring it..
No more black mesh left...... not even at the 2 local motor shops.
Decide to leave it till I find some more mesh, so no rear fitted. But 2 tone diffuser coolk
Front fits like a glove, but upon trying to reverse out off Steve's hangar, I hear a SSSSCCCCRRRAAATTTCCCHH <_< . A big chunk of paint comes off the front lip, but it's touchable. I'm starting to sh*t myself thinking about my drive.

Drive home and...... the lip clears the driveeeeeeeeeeee , I'm made up!

Quick hose down to get rid of the salt, not much luck though, and it's dark already.

PS managed to secure some more black mesh, so tomorrow SHOULD be the day

some dark pics.... tomorrow should be pics day!

That kit looks great Minel! Nice exhaust, what kind is it? And about how far does the lip stick out from the front bumper?

thanks guys!
front lip is about7-10cm deep but i'll get the measurements tomorrow morning.
Wxhaust is the Milltek stainless steel system for the 350Z. More info on www.milltek.co.uk It's a cat-back system, very good quality and very dep growl, not dissimilar from the Nismo exhaust...
