Glad this only comes around once or twice a year!

Top top work...given that's a 12-year-old car and you're a weekend warrior that's a brilliant finish. The light swirls in mine are really bugging me now when I wash it, the Das Pro will be coming out again when I'm back from Ibiza!

I have time set aside this weekend/early next week to make mine look as smart as possible before we go to the Le Mans Classic.

If I get it looking half as good as this one, I'll be very happy! (I may pass on the stripy carpets though.)

You should be fine get the light swirls out with the Das Pro - i'm hoping to step up the the rotary soon for the ultimate polish!

Thanks for the comments - like I said in the title, glad it only comes around a couple of times a year otherwise I would have no weekends!!1

Have a good time at the Le Mans Classic - I hope to get there one day myself...just need to convince the Mrs it is a holiday and not a just a very long drive. :wink:

What front splitter do you have?
Saw a glimpse of it on your first post.

It’s just one of the £10 rubber specials from eBay. Easy to replace if it gets marked / ripped off and gives the bumper a bit of depth.

Worth adding I back to black mine to give it that shiny look...it looks a bit pants in the matte (on my car anyway).

Hey Jedi, lovely job on your Z. I love doing these sorts of jobs as well, but finding the time with 3 kids is difficult!!

Re the chin spoiler, is it this?

Thanks Jedi!

Ha just saw it and the adhesive just made me laugh. It's a '3' and an 'M', but not 3M.....

Thanks.

I'm going to do a bit of a write-up when I'm back from the Classic - maybe a "how to do Le Mans - 24 Hours or Classic" as I think that there's a lot of folk out there who would love to go, but don't know the ropes. Also I'll try to do a bit of a comparison between the 24 Hours (which I've been to loads of times including last year) and the Classic.

Initially it will be just my opinions, but I am sure that others will chip in to make it a more useful, broader and balanced piece.

Mrs R has never, and will never go - she just isn't interested, but Le Mans is on the edge of some great parts of France; e.g. the Loire Valley, the Atlantic coast and all long the north coast are some great places. I am sure that if you could tack on a few extra days for a "proper" bit of holiday, that will get your missus up for it all.

Yeah I know.

I just used a bit of glue to stick it.

Very much looking forward to the write up.

That looks like hard work. My coupe has become a mistress. So many track days under her belt now.

Just fitted my rubber £10 ebay splitter.... sick of scraping the underneath of the front, so this will cover the marks. Used a self taster with washer in each corner to secure it...

Quite like that pal. Suits the car well...

That's a serious amount of work but a top job you deserved a pint after that


Nice to see someone using AG products they get a bad rap for some reason.
