sentra compatabilty

[BigGreen]

I want some bits for my car and have searched on the forums and not had much luck. Some links in posts look promising but are out of date so my questions are:

1. Will a sentra carbon fibre 'hood' fit on our almeras. As I understand it is a bit shorter so should fit, with a small gap above the grill, right? This could be solved by getting sentra lights and grill?? Anybody ever looked further into this?

2. Strut braces from sentras fit on our 'meras right? Just wanting to confirm this so I can spend a bit of money to get some bits from the USA.

Thanks in advance.

The CF `hood` may fit but shipping will be a killer and it`ll probably get damaged.

B14 strut braces will fit the N15

ok thanks mate, I 'might' just give it a go on the bonnet.

Sentra bonnet is different!

 

[BigGreen]

how much different?

 

[prizma]

it's longer, to cover the sentra lights, look at a n15 with sentra fromtlights, it will be som space between the lights and the bonnet..

Almeragirl has the sentra headlights and grill, think only bout 3 mera's have them in uk!

yeah so could i not just get the sentra lights (and grill) to make up the space and all would be good?

[BigGreen]

IMHO i dont like the sentra lights!!! And for the price you will pay for the senta light and Carbon bonnet plus shipping and its not guarnteed to fit! You could gte a carbon almera bonnet!

My mate got a Carbon fibre bonnet for his R34 Skyline and it didnt fit right the release catch was in the wrong place and wouldnt close!!!! I wouldnt bother!!

get strut brace from ebay and see neilsr for the carbon hood alot less hastle

i would be very wary of buying one anyway, in my experience fibre glass panels on classic cars are a terrible fit and even the best arent half as good as the factory panels, i know this is carbon fibre but its still done from a mould so its not a million miles different.

just imagine if it didnt fit right, it would look cheap, nasty and people will laugh at the car because the bonnet doesnt fit right. would consider just leaving the bonnet as it is if i was you but its your choice obviously

You could just cover your existing bonnet with the stick-on carbon fibre sheet that you can get from ebay (was posted on here a while ago), but would probably look crap, as the sheets aren`t very wide.
