At long f***ing last my rear is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

 

Have been away for the last week, and so has my Zed (but not with me)

Picked it up this morning, and fitted the new perspex panel and side trims (thanks Mantav8 :duffer: )

 

Hope you all like her........................

 

Before,

 

 

After.......

 

 

 

very nice job matey looks schmoooove!!

looks good mate

Nice!,now wait for peeps to tell you- ''LOSE THE WIPER!" :D

Looks pukka Dave!!!

 

But one thing.........Loose the wiper......

 

 

Matty.

Thanks guys :D

 

Total costs....

Parts....... Panel = £85........ Badge = £15 + VAT = £117.50 both from Luke at the ZCentre

Paint, filling and all labour = £100... My local bodyshop bloke.

 

So £217.50 for the whole job.

 

But if I knew then what I know now, I would have done it differently. I would have kept the raised spoiler and removed the infill panel, then had the holes smoothed and the panel fitted. But you live-&-learn ;)

Looks :cool: Dave......For a RED car........:x:

£200!!!!! :eek: damn good price!

£200!!!!! :eek: damn good price!

 

Yeah i thought so as well................ Incidentley, thats not just 'Blown-In' the whole boot lid was re-sprayed, and the colour match is spot on. I was worried about the colour, as it has had a full re-spray in the past, and you can tell the difference in the engine bay-to-wing edges. So i'm well chuffed about this work :D

 

Damm shame it got a total soaking and filthed-up this afternoon on a 90 mile round trip :( bloody weather........... and yes those three new pics were taken this morning!

Nice one Dave!!

 

I quite miss the plasters thou :(

looks good mate, :D

 

join the smooth rear club ;)

 

(although i have a tailgate skin)

im going this route too, any pitfalls i should be aware of, ie fitting of the perspex panel, are the holes under the spoiler there to take it?

if your current spoiler is in a state there is the risk of rust underneath, when my spoiler was removed it took quite a bit of the tailgate with it which had to be rebuilt with sheet metal.

Nice one Dave :). Never been a fan of the smooth route before (oo-er missus), but starting to like it now.

 

Good show! ;)

On the attached pic you'll see all the holes that should be under a standard OEM spoiler when removed (all except for the ones with red circles round them, as these were additional for my infill panel that was fitted.)

 

 

The ones in Blue are standard bolt holes.

The panel comes with two white lugs that have a bolt thread on them, and four Blue off-square pegs that clip into holes, these are all removable. It also comes with two fixed bolt threads to fasten into the brake lamp appature. The ones in Yellow are off-square holes for the plastic pegs that come with the perspex panel. But on the panel there are plugs for where the Green is marked on the pic. These can either be forgoten about, of you can drill these out and place the white bolt threads in this place (but with limited access from the inside to put the nuts on, or you can then open out the holes so that the plugs will fit snuggly.

 

HTH

Nice one dave i like that look, Thats what i have been doing to mine in my spare time, but ive taken the wiper out as well, and are in the process of fitting a high wing spoiler as well.And i have a spare rust free silver tailgate to get rid? anyone

Edit....HOW OLD IS THIS FECKIN' THREAD????? :rofl:

errrr, how old?!

and are in the process of fitting a high wing spoiler as well.

 

Shame :(

Theres nothing wrong with dragging up a good ol' post :D

 

Thanks Sinclair, but the look is about to change a bit, as it's having a 99 spec spoiler attached to it in March :cool: which should go very nicely with the 99 spec lights and front end as well :D

 

And the front lights are being changed as well, but I'm not telling on that yet ;)

Thanks guys :D

Now thats the thing, it was done while I was away on holiday, but it shouldn't take much more than a couple of days tops.

love the smooth look dave, but can't wait to see the 99 spec rear and spoiler , especially with that colour, very nice red :bow:
