Well it been 6 months since I purchased the £500 bargain Zed and I put it in the garage to do some bits, well since its the new year I thought that i would get my arse in gear.

 

My Zed

 

 

Removed old spongy spoiler

 

To be replaced by this lower lip spoiler which will blend in.

 

Demon wide arse sorry arch rear bumper

Wide arch kit

 

Fuel filler cap insert

 

Zenon front bumper

 

Angel eye fogs for he Zenon front bumper

 

60mm wheel spacers for the rear

And air filter

 

 

All these i got this month and whilst ive owned i have replaced all scuttle panels and sound proofed the boot, I will be making my way through the car with this given time,

 

 

I have also purchased a set of 19" wheels (second hand though) which I feel will make the car look good. Hopefully I will be having the kit fitted this month and then next month the spray job which I am going to stick with the original colour silver.

Thats a good start taking the spongy spoiler of Alfie:thumbup1: keep us updated mate.

Gona luk gud mate, I like the Zenon front bumper, gona get myself one soon,

Looking forward to tracking your progress mate, never seen a wide arch on a silver zed.

Cheers for the comments guys, I was going to have the car sprayed white but thought the same as you osty, apart from the siver cabrio you see plastered all over advertisements.

 

Just hope my missus doesnt go in the garage and see all the parts:whistling:

Looks Good Bud, your son has made a cracking job, dont go spoiling it by trying to help him.. LOL..

Haha yes Ive just sat back and let him do it, yes give us a shout when your over.

Looking like a worthy project fella. Keep a nice build thread going please!

Some nice bits 'hidden' away in your garage there John.

When I decide to put mine back on the road I too will be sauntering down to visit you again :cool3:.

No worries mate anytime, might need your input on wiring the lights, yours in hibernation?

Did a bit this weekend

 

 

Took off glass fitting and sanded down and re did the inserts, I feel it looks better black as they was quite a dull grey before.

 

 

My induction bracket was filthy and had stains all over so I sanded it down, painted, lacquered which looks miles better.

That glass headlight is like new Alfie:thumbup1:

Cheers Gary, it did come up well although the other could do with another coat.

I did mine black swell looks so much more modern, I also did the projector ring silver :cool3:

Yep, lots of possibilities :cool3:.

 

 

 

 

Well got some wheels today although second hand they only require refurb to the lip with a good clean up they will look well. Currently they have 245 35 19 Falkens on 2 of which need replacing but I suppose for £200 inc postage I couldn't complain.

 

Comments on how they would look on a silver zed?

they will look like this, same wheels as me :)

 

 

 

 

hope that helps ;)

 

liking the headlamp refurb by the way.. might have to join you on that one!

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

and the wheels are the same size too :)

They look awesome mate can't wait to get them on mine, cheers.

 

The headlight was simpler than I thought. A few people put them in an oven to release the glass but I bought a cheap heat gun which did the trick. :thumbup1:

The headlamp in the oven not the car before anyone jumps.

 

 

So it begins

 

 

The rear bumper and spoiler are not fitted yet but work has started on The arches. I do have a japspeed cat to back exhaust also.

Cheers mate. No I have stands underneath lol just haven't removed it. The guy who is doing the kit makes kit car bodies and is doing it in his spare time so it's taking a little longer than usual but I don't mind.

Great work mate cant wait to see it finished.

I don't think the japspeed will look right in that bumper, you want a pair of twin pipe back boxes.
