Unfortunately Im not the first and certainly wont be the last judging by how good it looks.
Small update on the front... ordered from a small fake playboy like laboratory in Japan who shall remain Anonymous (hmmm). Right I ordered it in February i'd been told six weeks, chased, then 3 months then now promised the July ... I left after the ETA it 1 week then chased. I was told oh it has been dispatched and is sat on the boat waiting to sail should be with you in 2 weeks. Chased again... now end of August ETA excuse: Ships owner wont let it sail as theirs not enough containers to make it a viable trip. Chased last week to make sure we were still on track to be told it hadnt even left the factory. ARGH!!!!!!!!!
CANCELED my order!!!
I think i will take my money else where, Not bad for a 6 month wait!!!!!

i like the advans... i say if u want them to pop more, paint or powercoat them.
i say gold would look sweet. Black if u want a sleeper look. but the concave wheels are hot!

Right the exterior has finally been completed and picked up this morning. Apologies that a few of these pics have been replicated from my previous thread.
The speed bump proved the first challenge!!
This might give an indication of how low the car is.... and bear in mind that the coilovers have been taken up over 30cms just to get the car into the body shop!! When the lip was test fitted it sat 3cms off the ground!!!
People that know me, know that Im all for the subtly and doing different touchs so i decided to get the underside of the bonnet sprayed the same colour as the exterior rather than the dull finish that Nissan apply. This has been treated with higher temperature laquer to protect it.
And I got some of the plastics done gloss black
Anyway onto pics of the whole car...
Couple of the rear
Huge thanks to z1-auto (Adam) and to Envy Performance here in the UK for supplying all the kit and to Big John at my shop for the bodywork.
Full photoshoot will follow once she has been detailed properly
I love it!!!

Only thing i'd do is get different wheels, they look so tiny for some reason...
nice.

GQ 350z- I had sooooooo many pictures of your car once I had chosen my kit and your car convinced me that smoothing in was the way to go!!!
Next up is the engine detailing to make it a bit more show
Speedbumps are the work of the devil here in the UK. Some are marked some are stealth and you dont realise there is one until you see your front lip/slipper in your rear view mirror!!!! This is one of the reasons the guys here cant lower the car as much as you guys!
