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

Getting there mate, glad to see you've got your front bumper at last.

Me liking the look of that....certainly a bit different from when I first saw it :thumbup1:.

Cheers Tom yes finally got one off Baz, you managed to fit yours yet.

 

Thanks Andy yes a little different from when you last saw mate.

Not yet mate, had to get her running right first but shes nearly there now, gota go in for the mot next week. The bumper will be a winter job.

Great work mate keep up the good work !!

 

 

Some more work being done today.

Looking really nice mate, I really like that style of rear bumper. I think it suits a Z rear end so well.

good work man the car is looking great.

 

 

Trimmed the lower lip spoiler last night going to shape it in today. The area whet I'm having problems is the exhaust touching the rear bumper.

Hi Alfie34, can you not manipulate the exhaust hangers to pull the exhaust further inward?

Is there any room to adjust the exhaust boxes rather than adjusting the lower spoiler?

Hi Russ

 

Was going to look at that although if I move it too far over it will hit the tank. Will let you know how I get on.

 

Cheers.

Probably not an option but different back boxes I think they look a little lost in the opening? Just my opinion

Opinions always welcome. We plan on doing something with the openings. I reverted to the mongoose exhaust as the Japseed single exit just didn't look right.

Yea I know what you mean single wouldn't look right on that bumper

Is there anyway of moving the exhaust over? Mines tapping against my bumper now after fitting the decats, the squeaking noise is driving me crazy. Your cars looking great by the way.

you could make some brackets that will relocate them across a inch or so.

Am gonna need to do same with mine.

I wouldn't say you'd have room to move it over at all with the mongoose. As said, they will more than likely foul the petrol tank in the range of movement...

Thanks Tom. Yes it's what I'm going to look at tomorrow the other option is amending the bumper. How's your coming on did you get her running right?

 

Did a bit of carbon wrap

 

 

 

Along with interior attempt, still some way to go but it's a start whilst the rear end is having finishing touches done.

 

 

 

Well I haven't been on here for a while and have not done much to the zed also but as we now have moved house I have also lost my big garage so it was time to move her to a new home. On my last post I was having problems with my exhaust alignment so we decided to mod the rear bumper which at the moment is work in progress. Please ignore the tow rope we never put any force onto this it was just used to think that the car was being towed as it currently has no mot and not road worthy.

LOL at the rope John... I hope no one sees it and tries it :lol:

Just keep at it mate :hammer:

Hi Baz I know mate what made it look even more dodgy was the fact a one litre polo was supposed to be pulling it. I just drove really close to the polo. How's things anyway mate you up and running yet?

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

Just keep at it mate :hammer:

 

 

Cheers Gary will be doing a lot more over winter the front bumper is going to look a little different.

LOL at the rope John... I hope no one sees it and tries it :lol:

 

Heh heh - my thoughts too.....

 

.....I had memories of Hammond's Mini on the Top Gear India special....:rofl:

Well now I have moved and it's the new year I have decided to get back on it!! I will keep you posted.
