Default Had a little touch ups prior to UK show season

Made in Japan, Styled in Europe!





And for those wondering how low the car is, I've used the industry standard iphone Gauge!





Appreciate your input guys.

looks good, those wheels belong on a civic though. Z's require a wider/concave/lip to look correct.

Cheers Zwole - Car is slowly getting to where I want it, Smooth and sleek - Over here in Europe we have to comply with so many laws it makes styling difficult! Having to run a front licence plate really makes hard to achieve the smooth front end!

Uk bumpers are filled with holes where the plate mounts (you guys dont realise how lucky you are!) so Ive had all those removed with the badge smoothed out aswell

Cheers guys, I think you either love the smooth styling or you hate it - there aren't many people undecided!

I need a slightly wider front tyre on it as Im only running 235's should be 255 / 265s - Again not everyone's flavor but hey it all adds to the spice of life huh!

You shouldn't take those comments seriously, they were completely ignorant.

Nah I don't take objective comments seriously as taste is an individual thing, as long as some of you like it, it shows I've not lost my way all together!

Did make me laugh when I was taking the pics though as one guy asked what site I was selling the car on and how much I wanted for it.

Anyway stuff exterior that has been done...

UK Numberplate holes smoothed out
Front badge recess smoothed out
370z side indicators installed inplace of OEM badge
UK side indicators smoothed out
Orange strip replaced
Ings +1 LX Front lip
Ings +1 LX rear blended into OEM bumper
JDM indicators cluster (Uk ones have a fog light installed)
Gloss Black Roof
Bilstein Coilovers
Eibach Toe Arms
Advan Model T7
Scorpion Exhaust with custom tailpipes
06 Rear Leds

Edit - Rear Bumper - For some reason my tailpipes look like they stick out from the bumper but in rear they are perfectly flush

Why would you want to come to the UK,

(1) we can't get out the country due to Iceland not being able to control their own Volcano's
(2) By law you have to abide by millions of pointless traffic laws! (Side indicators, front licence plates)
(3) Every third street had 6/7 vicious speed bumps down it or filled with 2ft wide 4" deep pot holes
(4) Weather is just erm ... 'grey'
(5) All prices are jacked up in price (hence why we order so much from the states) Petrol is now £1.27 (just shy of $2) per ltr!


But then again, I wouldn't change it

Roll on show season!
