Day One:

When I got here home I found she was too big to fit in my small garage....

...so down came the fence and she now resides on the patio!

Bought a fitted car cover off ebay to keep the seagull muck off (living 200 yards from the beach has its disadvantages!):

Hi all! I thought I'd open a projects thread, so I can keep track of the things I have done and plan to do with my Zed! Feel free to make any comments and give your opinions (good or bad)!

Plastidip front Bumper

My first mod was to plastidip the front bumper. At the same time of ordering a few cans of plastidip to spray my girlfriends and her brothers alloy wheels, I ordered 2 for myself and set to work spraying the middle bumper bar.

While the wheels were off, I took the liberty of ordering some spacers from MWTech...they have made a big difference to how the car looks!

Wheel Refurb & Spacers

The Rays were looking a little tired with some curbing and corrosion starting to show through, so I sent them off to the Wheel Repair Centre (wheelrepair.co.uk) over in Preston to have them refurbished. They came back looking amazing Smile

spacers are 20mm up front and 25mm at the rear. makes the car look so much better - the alloys were a little lost in the arches before!
