Ok so i'm just about to start a new job and thankfully it's much better money! Sooooo this means my mod list for the Z has just become a reality!! So i'm wondering if people can fill me in on where to find the things I want and how much I should be looking at paying!

Firstly the Z is a 2003 3.0SE with 93K on the clock!

And currently looks like this


So firstly i'm going to be looking for an M front bumper! Now i've seen these on eBay for a few hundred ££ but is it as simple as buying one, having it sprayed and then fitting it?? Will I need a fitting kit? Is there a specific bumper I should be looking for in terms on the donor model?

I'm also looking for a new set of headlight, black if possible but I've ready mixed reviews on here about which ones to get and the price I should be paying!

A spoiler! Seen a few on eBay and they look good but is it as before? Just getting it sprayed and fixed on? How do they attach? I assume from the look of them they are permanent?

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
full carbon fiber body kit with 20" ultra super duper light racing alloys and semi slicks.

super duper lowering kit with super hard suspension

super large supercharger which makes the car superduper.

some neons under the body

well i did think about de-ginering the lights but i prefer the idea of getting new ones tbh! i also didnt know that the M had a diffrent bonnet??
an exhaust is already on the cards!

I was watching an M front bumper on ebay and it went for £225... not bad, but not cheap either.

yeah thats true although i think if you really want something then the money side of things isnt always that important! as long as its not stupidly exspensive of course!

Ye I would just buy an ///M instead of adding its parts. Then you get the full package.

Well I'm not looking to buy an M I've always enjoyed modding and don't want to buy another car and put myself in debt when I own this car out right and intend to keep it.

I think the under tray at the front needs modding as the bumpers are a different shape. Liam has done his recently.

That's interesting thanks! Will only an E85 bumper fit?

Yeah I have thought about this but it's something I wouldn't be able to do!

I call rubbish!
I bet you could easily do it with some help of an internet guide or youtube vid.

plus you can be very satisfied with the results afterwards!
 
Yep - its daunting, but not difficult to do, Nova. Would look at either sourcing clear boomerangs (very difficult) or tinting your existing ones. With a black car, either mirror or smoked foil should work.

Not convinced on the aftermarket lights TBH - heard too many bad things on them.

yeah this is a worry, my only issue i dont have the time, patients or ability to be without the car to do this, its my daily driver and prefered to have it into a friends garage, have the lights fitted and out again! either this or buy a already timted set!

Wasn't someone doing a second set on here (ravski, I think?)
