As some of you will remember i had some damage to the front of the 350z mainly the following

[Image: e3ee2c17.jpg]
[Image: 4741c4b6.jpg]

there was also a lump of carbon fibre missing from the front drivers lip and a huge crack in the paint and fibre glass

so i popped down there for a quote which seemed reasoinable considering it was pearlescent paint and carbon fibre sections

a week later i dropped the car off they had it just under 1 week and then i collected it 10:00pm on a friday night (thats dedication)

the car looked like this at the end

[Image: c9b81ea3.jpg]

the also did a few other bits

they sorted out my wonky spoiler it turned out the moulding was off when the built it as the base was central to the car so the lifted this off moved it about 10mm then re seated it and voila no more wonky lol

they also smoothed the centre bit behind m numberplate on the grill shown here

this did have a knock out designed so you can mount the towing eye but because i have a speed camera avoider Confusedhock: i mean plate hider this looks **** when the plate is hidden

the spoiler and smoothing was done FOC which was even better.

there is one bit that im not happy with which i only noticed the day after collecting it which is shown here
[Image: 02e50747.jpg]
the paint seem to be rippled from the headlight not sure why but i will get them to address this when i take it in to have the wheels looked at.

Well as you all know the car went to have the wheels repaired i took it back to the same place that did my front bumper as they did an excellent job so cant fault them and very helpfull

as you will know there was one bit which wasn't down to them but the way the headlights sit and it caused a ripple in the paint, they resprayed the whole bumper again with no questions so i thought whilst they are doing that i will get the handles colour coded

They did look like this

I also had them mop the whole car whilst it was in they had a week whilst the wheels were being done came out like this

But if it was mopping you wanted, really you should have just bought Jim the JML Whizzmop! [/COLOR]
