Hi, thought I should start a new thread, and try and collate all the various work that the car has had since my 9 years of ownership. I cannot believe its been 9 years! and finally my Zed is going to get the respray she deserves.

 

I have spent the last few weeks deliberating on what colour to go for, and have decided to stick with red. At the moment that's as far as its got though, the shortlist of reds is still at 4/5 options, so more pouring over photos and visiting the odd showroom to help with the decision process. Many thanks to those of you who supplied photos and information on colours, wheels etc.

 

I will add some key previous threads to this post, along with photos of the stripping of the car and its subsequent paint job. I cannot wait for the beginning of February when the car is due to be transported to Kraftwork.

Just in time, after waiting 6 weeks these trims that fit above the front windscreen and bodywork final arrive from Japan :thumbup:

Thanks guys.

Collect the car on the weekend from Kraftwork. Joel/Andrew, you were both right it was worth the wait!

 

Here she is in the sunlight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just need to get all the trim etc back on over the next few weeks.

 

Oh and order the new lips for the Equips :yes:

It looks fantastic Howard, those pics don’t do it justice! Let me know when you’ve booked it back in for it’s post build polish up and I’ll meet you over there again [emoji41]

Emerging from her transformation:

 

 

 

 

 

Who's a happy bunny then...

 

Judging by your smile, I’d say you’re delighted mate:clap: Congratulations on building a beautiful car, that grey looks stunning :thumbup:

That looks great Howard, very stylish.

 

Why have you left the edge where the roof panels sit red though, are you putting red flashes on the car or will the red be hidden?

None of the red will be visible once all the exterior and interior trim has been refitted.

I love the way the colour reflects lights differently from different angles. In some lights it looks so pale and mysterious and yet in others it becomes dark and classy [emoji41]

Stunning Howard that's one mean machine. :thumbup1:

Hey Howard, regarding the Equips, have you looked into the bolt pattern on the Image wheels?? It would be handy if you could just swap out the centres?? :yes:

Wow!

Hey Rich, hadn't even thought of that TBH. I will be carrying out the final test fitting of the Equips on Saturday, to judge what new lip size I require. So I will defiantly check out the patterns....., IIRC correctly the Equips have a reverse mounted lip, so a lot will depend on the Image wheels having the same lip mounitng.

No harm in trying, you'd still have a set of Image wheels with a more saleable sizing to sell to a wider audience:thumbup1:

I have been waiting for the Aero style filler cap etc to arrrive from the Anodisers for nearly 3 weeks now. Wasn’t nearly as hard to fit as the door handles :sweatdrop:

 

 

 

 

Went round to do the passenger side, and some how I have lost one of the small plastic fittings that clip onto one of the actuating rods......:blushing:

 

Fitted the new rear lights the other evening along with the centre panel with an EL strip inside, as well as the number plate light units

Very nice bud! where did you get EL panel from? Love the progress!

Hi, thanks Jonce, tbh honest i cannot remember where i bought the EL panel, as it must have have been in my parts box for over 6-7 years now.
