Chris300 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Would it help to have a “89 spoiler to take some lines from or chop up. I should be binning my old one soon to fit the new OEM, you’re more than welcome to it if needed. :wink” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.mogsy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Well the WinFactory CSL-R is on! [ATTACH=CONFIG]110667[/ATTACH] Unfortunately, as with most after market fibreglass parts, there is a fitment issue. [ATTACH=CONFIG]110668[/ATTACH] As you can just about see, the bottom edge of the spoiler doesn’t follow the curve of the top of the rear lights. Having spoken to WinFactroy, it appears to be a issue when fitting to 2+2 hatches that they haven’t publicised. Quite how I’m going to rectify this problem I’m not too sure, all I know is today turned into quite an anti-climax Ive always wanted one of these spoilers, shame there's a fitment issue. Do you mind if I ask how much it cost to buy & ship it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickz32 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 That’s very kind mate, but there’s already another Z there with it’s Oe spoiler off waiting to be refitted - - - Updated - - - Ive always wanted one of these spoilers, shame there's a fitment issue.

nickz32 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Small update. Glass went back in today. For the first time in my 10 year ownership of this car, I won’t have tinted windows. Looks odd! As you can see in the second pic, and my other recent thread, I’ve had to source a new set of doors. During the strip down stage we found the only gremlin I wasn’t aware of. The bottom of both the drivers and passenger doors were suffering with tin worm issues This doesn’t seem to be a known rot place for the Z, but I can only assume this has occurred during the 3 years the car was off the road and stored outside under a cover. Initially it just looked like it was the outer door skin where it folds over onto the frame. But once they began cutting the rot away it became apparent that it wasn’t economically viable to repair these doors. Bugger I sourced a new set of doors off FB which were in very good condition. The only downside is that I’ve now lost the side impact bars that were fitted to my original doors #weightsaving Nose panel, targas and wing mirrors were in the process of being painted when I popped in. It’s looking on course for all the painting to be finished this week and the final stages of the job (panel alignment, wet sand, polish) should take place next week. The potential for it to be back on the road by the end of the month is becoming apparent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickz32 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think I agree, I’m just so used to it having tints. Throw in the change of spoiler and I’m struggling to recognise my own car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickz32 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Well after the mayhem the weather caused, managed to pop over to the bodyshop. And I’m pleased to say the CSL wing fitment issues have been sorted. After lots of little cuts, flexing, re fibreglassing, filling and shaping, it now sits as it should The underside of the wing now has a bit more of a wave like curve to it, so technically it’s now a custom wing, but I’m happy with how it now sits. Bumpers are prepped and primed (forgot to grab a pic as was short on time) but it’s getting there..... ***EDIT*** Appears I forgot to post about the doors! So I managed to source a set of mint replacement doors. They were red, but they were always going to be completely stripped back to make sure they were spot on. I spent a day stripping the windows, rails, loom etc and putting them into the newly painted doors, so at least she looked a little more complete now (if a little dusty) Edited March 5, 2018 by nickz32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz 300 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Great work on the rear spoiler Nick. The fitment looks spot on and you have a real custom one of spoiler now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickz32 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Popped in today to fit my new RUCA’s. I’d decided to rid the rear end of the hateful Rose joints, so went for a set of WhiteLine RUCA’s as they use whitelines more pliant poly (black) bush vs their “race spec” poly bush (yellow) Finally, all the painting is sorted. The back bumper was back on and the front bumper is done bar the moustache, which will be satin black The wet sanding has also started, so well and truly on the home straight now!

nickz32 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Returned to the bodyshop today to help with some wet sanding and compounding. Super excited now! All being well, I’m collecting her on Thursday. Hopefully I can get her in for its new exhaust and final mapping in the coming weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickz32 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Well I was supposed to pick up he Z today, however fate suggested otherwise A couple of days ago a very very careless eurocarparts driver parked next to the Z while it was out in the yard and opened his door onto my Z, marking and denting the passenger side door right in the middle of the panel. As you can imagine, neither the bodyshop or I were best impressed. So, today the Z went back into the spray booth to have the door repaired and repainted. After the baking process I decided to make use of the warmth and fit the OE Upper windscreen moulding (the one the windscreen company used was hideous). Annoyingly this is where we noticed the windscreen wasn’t sitting and flat as it should be and sits proud of the side moulding runners on the top left corner of the screen. There’s only one way to fix this, and that’s windscreen out yet again (hopefully for free). On a positive note, the Z should be ready for collection tomorrow and off for mapping on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
