HEADPHONES

Welcome to the OC. Happy hunting

Amazon sell loads

If it's the OEM factory fitted exhaust, the flanges between the mid pipe and back box will definitely be near end of life. So replacement tips alone would definitely not be economical as the flanges WILL fail soon. Also check the flexis on the Y-pipe. These may also be on their last legs Time to treat yourself to a cat back system I think 😉. It'll.sound so much nicer than stock too. Scorpion is a good budget choice with lifetime guarantee and not too loud either. Then there's Cobra. Invidia is a bit more pricey but beautifully made.

A friend has recommended that I use MY pee over the bushes next to the car to reclaim my territory

Oops.....top photo uploaded upside down but you get the idea . This is what cat wee does to lacquer 😢

A local cat likes to spray on my rear wheel, which damages the lacquer........ it's literally taking the p!$$. So hopefully these will keep it away. Just hope it doesn't just choose a different wheel as I don't think I can be bothered surrounding my whole car with this stuff

The Zed is on Doug's list😁

Driver's side is the original wrap from 2021 and the passenger side is the side I redid a few weeks ago. Like before, the cloudiness all cleared up. This shows that despite 3 years facing the sun daily when parked at home and work, the vinyl PPF does a grand job preventing the lousy hazy oxidation returning. Even if the wrap does yellow or fail, removal is relatively harmless unlike sanding down a clear coat that has faded and reapplying another layer of clearcaot.

The wrap has all cleared up nicely now. Good job I resisted temptation to rip it off and start all over again 😜👍

Welcome to the OC. I got new kidney braces and W brace this year too. Zeds are definitely worth maintaining and keeping.

Hi Chris. I often do touchless washes. A summary of my experiences would be........ Have a fresh LSP on first. Even if it's a quick and easy coat of something like TW Hydrophobic Sealant Wax aka Seal n Shine. Do it often eg. at least once a week to prevent dirt bonding strongly to the paint. Mineral free water from a SPOTLESS WATER depot or filtered water for a final rinse as you deffo don't want to touch dry. A strong blower works for me also as Manchester tap water is relatively mineral free compared to the ghastly stuff from London taps. Driving at speed to dry the car never worked for me. Although most of the car would dry nicely, the turbulence at the rear would suck road grime onto the boot 👎 Here is a write up of my 6 weeks of touchless washing..

I didn't expect to see DEADPOOL there!

Nice meeting @ShortPauland @Loadmaster on Sunday. Always have a little bit of envy when I see a Nismo370z........ especially when they are kept in such good condition. This is the furthest South of Manchester I have travelled for a meet, so was a great opportunity to meet some Southern members.

Gtechniq C4 only lasts a year on headlights. The cloudiness is disappearing as expected. Definitely would be easier with 2 pairs of hands if you could get someone to help you

Decided to re do the headlight wrap. Used a heat gun to help get the old one off. Came off very easily just leaving a cloudy residue behind and some oxidation where I had creases and bubbles from my first attempt 😄 I taped it off and polished by hand using some TW headlight polish I had left over from using their polishing kit years ago Still took me 2 hrs to do just 1 side despite me finding it easier to work and stretch the film. Not so worried about the cloudy finish as this was exactly the same the first time and cleared after a few days

Safe to say your Zed is a keeper 😉👍

If you ever have to polish any headlights again, cover them in clear PPF. Did mine 3 years ago and still crystal except where my PPF came off at the corner 🤣

Over 3 hrs drive for me to come Hope the weather rewards me with some sunshine on the day🤞

I did mine August 2021. Then I wrapped them with clear PPF. Over the years a corner of the PPF came off. You can see how this corner re oxidizes but the wrapped part is still fresh

Washed the zed. Have the bay a wipe down. Solution Finish on wing mirror brackets. Booked isn for a service on Tuesday. Ready for a good drive

2 x 12s Along with the sound deadening this must sound EPIC. Only downside is driving to a club only to arrive and find the music was better IN YOUR CAR

Probably the most gorgeous red I've ever seen

Absolutely stunning this As a sunset orange owner this really is making me drool. Out of interest, what was insurance like with all the mods. I know it varies from person to person greatly but compared to other cars you have or have had.....
