sharpy

Took my rear lights off and tinted them! Fitting them this morning. How do I fit them? I know where all the bolts go, but the lights dont slide in? Do I need to use force to stick them back in? Also, two of the gold bolts have come out of their "hole"? How do I get them back in?

Can someone tell me how I remove my brake calipers and what tools I will need? Is it a difficult job? Thanks!

whats the best laquer to use?

nice one! will do the job on saturday and leave overnight! will post results on Sunday! Watch this space!

How much is it per tin mate? how do I avoid runs?

Whats the best spray paint method? Left to right? In straight lines? How long does it take to do a GOOD job? Where can I get the tint spray from? Motorworld? Will I need more than one tin??

Ah, the film doesnt work then!! Not too handy with the old "Spray" cans, I dont seem to have the knack!!! Any advice?

Yes mate! Just like that

I found a tutorial on using the tinting film? is this a bad idea? an tinting advice appreciated!

This is a hypothetical scenario mate! I always park proper!

This weekend I am going to tint my rear lights black. Can anyone give me a walk-thru of how to remove the rear lgihts from the car? Thanks

Police and DVLA clamp = BAD then!

Bumped into an old mate of mine today and got talking about traffic wardens etc, dont know why!! He told me that thye cant clamp the rear wheels, or wheels that have been turned into the curb?? Is this true? He also says they cant tow a car (with the lifting truck thingy) if two wheels are on the curb? Are these urban legends?

Buying some new brake pads on eBay, just a quickie, are the TT and N/A the same front and back?

So problem time then? it did start just turned a fraction longer than usual, I didn't have to keep re-cranking her.

Temp guage said -5 degrees C in Nottingham this morning, and the Zed did not like the cold start at all! Got her started easy enough with a bit of gas, but wouldn’t start without some throttle., second time she fired up straight away! Is this normal in extreme conditions or is it a sign of worse things to come!

Tea and bacon sarnies provided......obviously!!

Am going to be buying a leather retrim kit within next couple of weeks. Is there anyone in or near Nottingham that could help me fit?

it doesn't go mate. Been doing it for 6 months with no other problems.

Subtle tapping noise, gets faster with revs. No clunking, drives great and not loud? Any thoughts?

Nowt wrong with an N/A! Sure the fellow N/A'ers will agree here!! On the bright side they are more reliable!

Welcome to the club matey!! :)

Would anyone be interested in pre-painted body parts, brand new obviously? 99 Spec bumpers and so on??

Right everyone. I am looking for some ballpark figures here, it is time to do my Zed and I have found my inspiration. How much do you reckon I am looking at for a reasonable bodykit (nothing too flash), fitting and a full respray in existing colour (gunmetal)?? Also, any recommendations of bodyshops in the Nottingham area? Thanks

Agreed, it's a Zed, not a dog!
