Default Ordered my new car.....

As some of you are aware I am selling my S soon, and I have ordered a new car - an 08 Nissan 350Z GT Coupe.

I have ordered it in a new Pearl White and finally managed to get some pics of a UK car that has just been delivered to a guy on the 350Z-Uk forums.

Considering respraying the stock alloys an anthracite grey colour... anyone on here good at photoshopping the following pics????

The S will go on the 8th April and 5 years of ownership will come to an end.

If you know anyone that is interested in getting a very good deal on a gorgeous looking S let me know - will be doing an advert for the car very soon.

Anyway here are the pics of a white MY08 UK 350Z Coupe.

I am also getting the light grey leather seats.

Nice one Moff! Love the Nissan, not seen a pearl white one yet but i bet it'll look stunning. The guys at Evo magazine love the 350Z and said it a great car for oversteering. Did you consider the roadster?

Think it was the spin in your yellow car (with the airbox lid off!!) up at the cat and fiddle that got me really excited about getting an S2000!

I did try the roadster but wasn't impressed with how heavy the car felt. IIRC it's about 100kg heavier than the coupe and crashes quite a bit over the bumps.

I was really lucky to get the opportunity to have a roadster for 2 weeks, followed by a coupe for a week. The difference was huge.

Gutted to be losing the soft top option, but after 5 years it's not too much of a concern (at least until the summer!), and the coupe drives so well that I am not too bothered.
