Hi,

If I can work this out after a few "haufs" A few photos of my Zed should appear. Bought the car back in March as a non-runner through Ebay for £1200. Spent another £1000 or so to this stage. (many thanx to Dave Chung)

Both for parts and advice, cheers mate ! :)

Thanx to all who have given me advice through this club. :bow: :bow:

I can assure you it wont be the last!!

Not 100% sure, but pretty certain its a clip on cover, 3 piece.

Got the name Lonza in the bottom rear corner.

Cheers & thanx.

 

Alan.....

looks very nice

havent seen that front bumper before

Great looking Z, real clean engine bay. It's gotta suck to have to put that huge license plate (registration) on the front of your Z.

Glad you brought that up mate !!

 

Is there any accessories available that would allow me to mount it in the front edge of the bumper ?? Sure I seen a Zed on this forum with my front, or similiar and it had the plate on the front ??

 

Dont really want to put it in the mesh grille. ;)

Only been on the road a few weeks.

 

Not a mechanic. I am a coachbuilder by trade, so it took me a wee while to get my head round things !! :rolleyes:

 

Still, got there in the end ! :)

 

Alan.....

Looks great.

 

Must be sound knowing you've done lots of it yourself too.

Vey humble mate !! A proper mechanic would probably have done it in a few weeks, it took me almost 6 months !! :cry:

 

Had the engine out twice !! :mad:

 

Would have taken longer, bar the advice I recieved here !! :bow:

 

Alan.......

6 months is a decent time mate, I'll be chuffed if the SWB is done to how i want it within 6 months!!

 

Well done mate, thats what i say! :D:D

Thats ma boy !!

Is there any accessories available that would allow me to mount it in the front edge of the bumper ??

 

I don't know of an accessory for that application. You had mentioned that you are a coachbuilder, so I would think that you would have the skill to do this. I guess it depends on how serious you are on doing this. Of course my idea might be off of the planet.

 

Not knowing how the center section of your grill is configured, (solid ?) but it looks big enough to suspend from the top with a stainless/steel hinge, now this is where it gets creative.

 

Attach a pull cable (smallest you can find) to the plate and run it into the cabin where you can pull the plate up and out of view when you are driving down the road.

 

Now if you get pulled over for not having a front plate, before you stop, push the cable so the plate is now down.

 

Or just leave the plate on the hinge, so when your driving down the road the wind will blow it up out of the way, when you stop it falls back down.

 

It's just an out of the box thought, but the main focus is to have fun in your ZED. LATER
