Melbourne - Spray painter recommendations?
 
I need to get my side skirts resprayed as I have scratched them both. This morning I also found a large scratch on my rear bar from a hit n run car park driver, so I might get that done too.

Which shop did you guys use for your incidents that we wont mention? ;)

Ronnie - ?
Evan -?

thanks

Try Mr. Gloss I have never taken a car there but my mate got t-boned in his STI took it there and I think I have never seen a car come out of a panel shop that good. I have gone over that side countless times to find a fault but can't. If I ever need to go, I'll take mine there. Also they are clean and is pretty new too.

Worth the effort of getting their. I have used them myself with excelent results. I think I will cost you approx $600 cash for the respray.

Not worth fixing mate as shadow chrome is way too costly.
Might as well save for a new set.

Will your 2 friends' 370 come with the Ray 19" wheels? Mine will be delivered next month too and I've been told I won't get the 19" wheels :mad:

Don't think they will mate, looks like they'll be an option on the coupe for the Aus market. They did the same with the 350z - althought the rims were the same size, they had the optional rays 18" rims.

I have a colleague who has a yellow 370, I will ask her if she will go to the next cruise if she hasn't traded in for a convertable.

That's interesting, I was told mine will be built this month which around the same time as your friend's cars, and I think they would arrive in Australia in the same ship....

I hope my salesman is wrong. Alternatively I can pull the pin and reorder the new one with 19 Rays wheels, but it will cost me $1300 for the cancellation fee. What do you guys think?

evse82 02-08-2010 05:24 AM

Guys, looks like at this stage the 19's won't be coming out for the coupe. They are only selling them on the roadster and doesn't look like you can mix and match. So anyone buying the coupe now will have the 18's only. Maybe later in the year it'll change but all of their marketing material states 18's only for the coupe.

They still aren't offereing them as an option (altough if you want to fork out the 5k you can get them from Nissan spare parts)

if the wheels mean that much to you sure why not. I was thinking along similar lines but have opted to go with aftermarket wheels instead.

That's not a bad idea, it's probably a cheaper option as well. Which aftermarket wheels are you getting?

size is 19x9.5, 19x10.5. Running 245's at the front, 295's at the rear. That price is just for the wheels, tyres are going to be more. :eek:

I figured since Im only doing light mods to this car might as well get quality parts for the stuff I do. No point in getting cheap stuff.
