Soft as sh1t :rolleyes::tongue:

Yup. Can't stand the cold.

 

I worked a lot of last winter on it, namely the interior and just really can't be arsed to do anything out in the cold at the moment. I'm not driving it right now, so it doesn't really make a difference.

will you be fitting the apexi yourself Si, ?

 

im still driving mine a bit , but not much due to the current bush and alignment situation :(

You're not the first person to say this to me, but I'm 100% positive it isn't. Alas it's just a combination of a poor paint job (before I owned it) turbo heat and stone chips. Everytime it rains the water gets under another part of it and eats away at it. I'm sorry to say, but it's going to be a full front end respray :cry: (well a total respray would be nice ;) )

:headvswal Its more what i not doing to my Zed.

hopefully selling mine
