Hi all

 

Long time lurker here , been working on my zed slowly for a few years so thought I would post up some pics , and look for some help at the same time.

 

 

Now the problem , I have a carmad bumper and cannot get the arch liner to meet the bumper anyone else had this issue ?

 

 

I have tried to push it in to meet the liner holes but its splitting and going to break.

My liners have seen better days, it is a B surface in my mind and there is some cable tie technology going on under there.

 

More importantly

 

That car is beautiful :bow: funky wheels and fitment have never sparked my interest before, but I really like that, I would drive that and be very proud of it. :thumbup1:

Nice looking car sir...:bow:

 

and sorry, can't help with the liners. Personally I don't have them fitted as I binned them to save weight.

Thanks , been quite a while but i'm getting there :)

Hi

 

No need I have one from years ago , and thanks for the comments all done by my own fair hand :)

I don't think it was made right is the problem , please see these :

 

Fits better than my JUN bumper. I've don't think I have ever seen a well fitted nose on a zed.

Its just the way it does not taper in like the other side :(

Welcome (back?) to the club mate - that's a tidy looking Zed you have there!!!

 

CarMad is a trader on here; his stuff is normally top notch - and he's a dead helpful fella so do drop him a line......

 

Thanks for subbing too; your support is gratefully appreciated!!

Must admit that bumper wasn't the best of fit on my Zed either, I just assumed that the shit body shop that sprayed it for me had just done a bad job with fitting.............. Still looks the *****x though!!!!

Haha, I forgot I got it from you mate I wasn't having a go :) It's not bad but it's not right.

I didn't think you were having a go mate, but I was agreeing that it didn't fit quite right.

Don't understand why something that isn't a perfect fit, costs so much.....

that's a shame the fit isn't rite the car looks nice. could you not even pull it over even half the way and use some kind of bracket to hold it there or push the other side out to match

Wooooah! Thats a lot of money, I have seen a few nice zeds that have slightly off fitment of the nose.

funky wheels and fitment have never sparked my interest before, but I really like that, I would drive that and be very proud of it. :thumbup1:

 

Fitment is EVERYTHING! There's having fitted wheels and having hellaflush nonsense. Flush wheels and a good stance make or break ANY car. :)

 

Example :

 

 

Whilst the paint ain't my thing, the car looks great and sits nicely :cool:. WSM as in Weston Super Mud? You're just down the road from me!

Looks like the side bracket inside the bumper needs bending in slightly, most are rusted and do bend easily, it should bring the side of the bumper in. Its the single 10mm bolt as you look inside the arch liner.

I could a bit but its probably going to break , plus it going to bug me....

This is done in plasti dip matt black for now , just until I can justify the 1k plus white spray job ;) I live close to wsm yes

I think that's it , looking for a dual selin kit next when they come back in stock.

 

Thanks for looking :)

You could try heating it with a hot air gun and gently pulling it into the right shape and then clamping it to cool off,

genuine 99 the best bumper for the 300 by a mile
