quick question.. i was told that the reason the roof trim on my zx is black is because the japs dont like it chrome, so they paint it.. that right? as some of the trim on mine is showing a very nice chrome strip under it and coated with some sorta black paint?. also the grill that the front wipers goes through is a little tatty.. is it ok to take them off clean them and then prep them and then paint them pearl yellow or.. should i just buy a new set of blacks. I also want to take the spongy rear spoiler off to check underneath and cleant it up, how to remove this? another thing where can i get a owners manual and a service manual..sorta like a hayne…

Waving and flashing at me from a white truck while I was driving my black zed near Colchester \ Marks tey on Friday...

Bit of a long shot, but I was just wondering if anyone had much experience of the Kenwood head units from a few years ago that have a motorised face plate that rotates around for security, or can be detached? I have one in my car but the motorised bit has stopped working! Head unit itself is still fine, but it means I can't access the CD loader, or take the faceplate off anymore! Anyone got any suggestions, other than taking a chisel and a large hammer to it!? :D

Lives outside the General Hospital entrance. Anyone here?
