This is awesome stuff! Impressive results too. GL next season

Do you know where one could procure such a thing? 😊

ive tried a few of the generic google search ones and they didnt really work for me, had to return them

I've never found a good answer for this. Would like to be able to buy a JOBD reader too. Hope someone can help

Custom vents For a long time now I have had some ideas for bodywork modifications I wanted on my Zed but I couldn't find a place that sells something I want. I also didn't want carbon and poor fitting FRP parts. I happened to come across a place called Sussex Studio recently and after some chatting and sending photoshops of what I want it seemed I had found the right place for what I had in mind. So they got to work: These are OE metal wings customized with vents. All welded and ready for paint And similar vents were put into my JDM style bumper. Once painted it was on to fitting This was an absolute nightmare as the bookshop who fitted my nismo skirts decided to use tiger seal and try as we might we couldn't get to the bolts for the wing. Eventually after hours we got there Then it was time to redo the bumper tuck and refit the nismo spats Im extremely pleased with how this came out and looks amazing, just how I'd imagined. However, anyone who knows gunmetal paint WV2 knows it's almost impossible to get a good match. Neither myself nor the body shop were happy with the match despite their best attempts. So we needed to do something about the paint...

Love a TVR T350. v cool

What time does she talk about the Zed? I remember her review on release, she loved it and i think she even bought one herself. 5th gear days

I cant lie, it never gets old surprising the unsuspecting.

Thats some mighty fine work 😏

Look forward to the build!

Up and down as u go over bumps? sound like its coming from the rear shock tower?

Sequentials everywhere! While having some other mods done, meaning the rear bumper and wing were off being customised, i took the opportunity to fit sequential indicators to the rear and front wing of the Zed. Unlike the front bumper ones which i made myself these were a relatively simple affair, just some soldering and shrouding. All attached using waterproof connectors. Fronts Sides Rear Set the rear DRL/fog lights on a switch. Also the reverse lights are much brighter than before. Which was one dim bulb on the drivers side. Reversing in the dark used to be a gamble 🫠

Ive seen these. Not seen any details, price etc

surely a De-cat is needed?

lmao this cat... hes like "ill show you"

Very nice lil upgrade. Jdm ones are my fav. HR ones are nice too.

Arnt those the JDM controls? Thats what i have on mine

Just fitted those indicators to my 350, gotta wire them in still

Front bumper respray and mod. Plus tidying up intercooler etc My previous front bumper paint job was poor and also stone chipped away very quickly and so i needed to get it redone after less than 18 months. While it was away i decided to freshen up my intercooler as it was looking tired. The powder coat was all dull and some fins were damaged. Also there was some oxidisation taking place. I sanded down the surface, removing the damage and creating a more level finish. And also painstakingly straightened any damaged or bent fins. And began painting You can see here how much cleaner it is now Back on the car Came out really nice. Lovely high metallic finish and vht clear coat to protect it. Looks like metal. Also wire brushed the flaking finish of the power steering cooler and gave it a fresh coat. Before After Now onto the juicy bit. While the bumper was getting sprayed i had a little change made. Ive had this Nismo v1 for many years and fancied a change so i had the middle cut away Scary move, and irreversible. But after the holes being glassed in and the bumper sanded and painted i think it turned out great. Before and after Much better paint job this time and the mod is very aggressive, a little different from other V1s out there and a nice change for me.

Very nice!

More alcantara bits. This time i did the A piller trim and the armrests on the door. And also purchased new alcantara shifter boot and handbrake cover. Carefully cutting material to size Then apply glue to part and lay material and work out creases. Tuck around the back and make sure its well secured. Cutting relief cuts where needed (loads of em in this case lol) Sounds simple but it very tricky. Have to make sure the surface is evenly covered with adhesive. Easy to cut too little fabric, easy to get glue on the surface of the fabric. Need to work quickly but also make sure its done properly I like to let them set for 24 hours before installation Then reinstall them hoping that they still fit back on and you havnt accidentally covered any clips or fittings. Keep touching it cos it feels lovely 🤩 Purchased these from ebay, the company used to be called JF customs iirc. Microsuede with tan stitching Old one was absolutely battered Bit of glueing to keep the boot in place The stitching is nice and straight and a very good match to the seats. Pretty happy with it Going to see how these bits hold up as im interested in a couple other bits from the company. June 2024
