As you can see the carbon bonnet was now what looked like a black bonnet so after a mop with some g3 it came up like glass , didnt have a decent before pic so i zoomed in from another pic , its a bit shit but shows you the difference

First problem with the oh so reliable datsun was a snapped tension rod , if im honest they were shitty ebay ones so aint going to last long , they got replace with tein adjustable ones . went to get it all aligned at my local motorsport garage (hatton energy motorsport) and they rear camber arms and rear toe arms were cheap ebay ones too , so i ordered in some Greddy rear toe arms and camber arms and got them fitted

Out with the old and in with the new , kouki rear lights fitted, look so much better imo

On the first pic the car looks like it's saying "kill me please". It even can't hold it's eyes anymore :(

But other than that nice little car.
