Whilst the wheels are in for a refurb I gave the arches a flush and cleaned up the brake discs.

I'm getting a bit excited at the idea of my Z becoming the second, fun car rather than a daily. Feel like it'll make me appreciate it all the more when I do drive it, even if I am getting a daily that'll give it a good run for it's money pace wise!

Anakin, that spoiler looks really nice, is that for a coupe or convertible and where was it from?

Bumper in for a respray so was going to add a coat of paint to the front strut brace (think that's what it is). Took it off and the paint just started pealing off! Thinking I might go another colour than black, but not sure. Anyone else done something different?

POR 15 in black works well or if you can get it Plastikote black is the stuff I did mine in. Both need a slight course finish to get a good hold onto the alloy bar

That looks very dark, is it a tinted/smoked clearcoat?

Spoiler is for my Coupe, made in thailand (I believe that is where the OEM stuff is made too) the weave is the same as the OEM bits I have.
