Changing the interior colour
i asked some one in the know the same question . dye wont take because in car seats there is a high level of synthetic fibres . apparently dye will only work on natural fibres like cotton and wool.

black trim under spoiler
hi . can anyone tell me if the black strip under stock spoiler is perspex or is it just a sticker . my spoiler is not the stock foam jobby but the plastic version with the brake light in that matches original . would the black strip fit this without being modded or is there a slight difference with the shaping.

Speed limiter.
if its still limited it must be still reading in kms . all you do is take the clocks out and fit a converter to mph . takes about an hour from start to finish . little box costs about £25 and its just a case of splicing 3 or 4 wires . 2 out of 10 for dificulty

Best speakers?
alright mate . i might have answered this before , not sure . definately put your best speakers in the front . it depends whether you are a drum and bass junkie or if you just like clarity of sound . if its the later you wont beat focal speakers . they are pricey but if you keep checking on ebay try and find a good used set . go for polyglass or k power components. avoid the entry level stuff . another exellent make is harmon kardon . its what bmw stick in there luxury stuff . for a laugh type in focal utopia . make sure you are sitting down before you look at the price .

anyone laid their own decking
its pretty easy to do but beware . rats love to live under it . for this reason you are best to have a couple of courses of bricks around edge to stop the little barks getting in.

Handling Question
they were badly worn . when jacked up the rear wheels could be rocked 3 or 4 mm . driving a quick car with wobbly back wheels is not good . took the arms out and got them pressed . just like new . another thing that was happening with mine was it tended to follow grooves in the road that wagons leave . i feared the worst but was an easy fix

Handling Question
alright mate . sounds like your hicas arms . mine were shagged and car felt deadly when it kicked down the arse end would go . jack it up at back and give the wheels a wobble . i got mine re-pressed for only a tenner a side . car feels rock solid now . andy

Uprated speakers
hiya dave . if you have the bose boxes in the back 6.5 will drop straight in . be carefull on the depth of speakers you buy . the passenger side is shallower due to petrol filler pipe . i had to trim away a bit of the plastic box to get the same fit as the other side . its also worth dropping some deadener in around the bose box for a better sound and also less rattling from the arches when you stereo is off . it used to drive me mad the sound of gravel and stuff clattering my arches

New member! Looking at a TT this weekend!
hiya mate . firstly congrats on choosing a zed . your pic dosent show which seat has gone but im guessing its the drivers seat bolster thats gone . just like most zeds . you have 2 chances of finding a good 1 . slim and none , and slims out of town 235 on the back is a bit narrow . you can get away with them but ideally you want 265 /275. the speedo thing is a good sign as it meens its still limited . not been thrashed . only costs £25 for the converter and will take about an hour to do . easy job good luck andy
