Insurance
8 Yrs NCB, £225 with the Post Office. They tried to put it up last year to £435 so I asked to speak to the supervisor about the steep increase. At first, she said it was because of the general inflation of car insurance. When I told her that I would like her to send my no claim bonus through the post so that I could change companies, low and behold....a price was agreed....£225. There are always ways around insurance, you just need to shop around a bit a talk to someone within the insurance company who has the authority to strike a deal.

Has anyone had to track down......
I know you do mate, and if I had the money spare I would buy your set. If the government decide to send me to the desert again for 6 months, i might be able to afford them. I will keep you in mind though; i might have a small win on the lottery, you never know!lol. Cheers

Has anyone had to track down......
Unfortunatley where the damage is cant be repaired. All the holes have been elongated. I was being towed and the wheel worked loose. By the time I realised what the vibration was, the damage had been done. As for you Vodkashots, you better not leave your car unatteded!!! Cheers for your help guys.

Has anyone had to track down......
.....one Alloy wheel. I have 19' Vortex evolutions/Zito Miracle alloys, but one front alloy is damaged around the stud holes due to the idiot I brought the car off leaving the nuts loose. I am desperatley trying to find either 1 replacement or 2 front alloys. Anyone had this issue before and apart from ditching the wheels, was you able to source 1 single alloy. Thanks in advance.

It's not for a zed but I'm considering this......
I also agree. As long as the spoiler is prepared well so that once its painted there are no fibreglass riples, it will look cool and should line up with the rear of the bumper nicely.

This may give you a quick idea of how the original spoiler would look.

Propshaft centre bearing.
Will the bearing from a TT Auto fit on a Manual TT? Nice and easy question I hope. Ta

How cool is this
Bit disappointed too be honest with you. I cant believe that if I sold my Zed I still wouldn't be able to buy that porsche. I wonder if he would take Part Ex. lol. I think a little Zed would be cool.

Color change thread
You have to be so careful with chosing a new colour. I used to paint cars for a living, sometimes the colour can take away 'the class' in a car and turn it into a boy racer 'chav' looking car. That blue on your motor at the moment looks classy in my mind.

Alloy wheels
Just had a thought, if it goes wrong I'll have ya wheels,lol.

Alloy wheels
As long as your careful you could tap the wheel itself. When you find a replacement bolt to fit, use 'Thread Lock' or a small amount of superglue on the thread as you put them in. Good luck and post a thread after you have finished them. Ta.

Alloy wheels
You should remove the plastic. It could lead to trouble and flake off. Snap the heads off and get a slightly undersize drill bit and drill out (sounds aggresive) the rest of the plastic, use a reamer if you have one (Blind). Once your wheels are done look at Pro-Bolt. They provide almost every size and design of 'dressing bolt/screws.' They also come in a variety of materials. You might also consider screwing Threaded Inserts into the hole instead of 'Tapping' the holes. Look like lovely wheels; and if a jobs worth doing...........

FD style widebody on a SWB zed...
There was a thread about this the other day. Users were undecided whether the clean line of the Zed was best over the wide arch kit. I personally find the kits too agressive looking. What I would like to see is a kit or modification that starts alot further forward and gradually widens. Maybe starting at the door and only adding 30mm each side. Hell of a job though, and wouldn't want it in fibreglass, it would have to be a de-skin and weld job.

old film's?
Man......Just reading your lists. I have an idea we are all around the same age. I Can't believe no one mentioned the 'cheese' Top Gun; that's the reason I joined the Air Force, I thought my life would be like Mavericks; you know, get a hot girl with a hot car............I got a Nag with a Fiat Bravo,lol. Memories hey.

Interior Options
Black is where it is, all black including carpet in my opinion. It dosen't date/age. Look in most modern cars and its black.
