Please help me ID fender flares and boot spoiler

[borboyous]

Hi there!

 

I have a set of fender flares that I bought a little while ago with the intention of adapting to fit my 2+2, I liked them because they reminded me of the flares that are fitted on Mark Rolston's 240z. Unfortunately, my partner has received some bad news health-wise and I must now sell my project incomplete and all the parts I had bought to complete it. I was hoping that someone on the forum may know what these flares are and perhaps where they originally came from so that I may list them on ebay with all the correct information. They have some old markings on them written with a nikko that simply identifies them as for a 240z. They add 100mm (4 inches in old money!) of width per side when fitted.

 

Sorry about the photo quality - they were taken on a phone camera!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have this boot spoiler - I believe its shape is referred to as a 'BRE' spoiler but perhaps someone could confirm this? It has the shape of the rear hatch lock cut out and is about 4 1/2" tall.

 

 

Thanks again!

Flares are not ZG's, but I don't know any more than that.

 

However the rear spoiler is a BRE replica item.

sell me the spoiler, save the ebay fee?

Thanks for the input Lurch!

 

RB - I really have no idea on how much these items are worth, which is why I am considering the ebay route to sell them, we need all the $$ we can get right now  please feel free to pm me with a price and I will get back to you

Sorry to sound like a vulture, but what exactly do you have for sale other then the flares and spoiler?

wish all the best to you and your partner.

 

I think the flairs are a custom as they dont look like ZG or any of the Jap specials.

Hi Garvice,

 

I have a full 260z 2+2 which is mostly stripped but still drives, a ford 302 v8 fuel injected motor and 5 speed gearbox. A brand new set of lowering springs, new full set of uprated bushes, hilux calipers, the flares and boot spoiler and a weld in panel for the boot close, I'm sure theres probably more but I cant think what there is right now - I probably should take pictures etc to jog my memory.

 

The car was my daily driver and was registered until march of this year. It has rust in the outer sills and in the spare wheel well, also under the passenger side rear window but I have a piece to replace this from another car. The car is a fantastic project basis which I intended to go the v8 route with, but sadly its not meant to be!

I hope that tomorrow is a better day and that your partner's health returns quickly.  If there is anything I can do down here in Vic, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Make sure that you tell us when you put your parts on e-bay, so we can bid way too much and get you guys back on feet and back into a project car sooner.

 

Take care.

Hi guys!

 

First off - thanks so much for all the messages I have received with offers of support, it is all totally unexpected and very kind! The situation isn't desperate but I am trying to put on my 'sensible trousers' and do the right thing for us to move forward.

 

Also thanks for all the help with trying to ID these flares, I have never been sure where they came from but loved them because they look similar to Mark Rolston's flares he has on his amazing 240z which I'm sure you will have all seen! There are a few interested parties on this forum and it would be good to see them used on a project car from here so that I can see how they look on a Z.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on the value of these items? I truly have no idea what they may be worth and could really use the advice of someone who has a little more knowledge than me! Also, could some advise me whether it would be better to sell my 2+2 as a complete (albeit unfinished) package or to sell it as parts only? I am a little confused about how best to proceed!

 

Thanks again guys!

Sell the 2+2 complete as an unfinished project - it's more saleable that way.

 

Put $250 - $300 on the flares & $100 on the rear spoiler.

 

Best of luck

Lurch.

The flairs look like MSA ones to me www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7BSA02/50-1565
