Hmmm not sure, you need to mount it to the current holes where the undertray is attached and it protrudes directly forwards from there. Might want to check with Chris on that. Or maybe contact Stillen, they are very helpful fellas over there.

Seat Leon Cupra, everything the Audi is but more for you money. 240bhp and a few hundred quid remap would see it go up to circa 290bhp, 5 door, modern styling, interior is a bit bland though. Something like this maybe? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201241488226383

I would go with your original idea, stick a few quid aside and have some fun. The great thing about the Zed is that although exhausts and the like are quite expensive, there is lots you can do otherwise in the meantime, the standard exhaust isnt that bad in any case. I put together my own engine bay bolt set off ebay for £25 (although I ended up getting a full set off Tarmac), stubby aerial, buy some vinyl wrap and have a go at a few bits on the interior like the door grabs, centre console, rear strut brace (as suggested above) etc. Gear knob is pretty cheap and I would really recommend changing the handbrake for something a bit chunkier it will make a big difference to the look and feel when driving. I also found that refurbing the leather seats makes a BIG difference to the interior, there is a trader on here (4RE I think hes called) who can provide some leather treatment stuff to bring the seats back up to standard. Maybe some new foot well mats? One of the most fun things I did was buy some wet n dry, some primer and some red paint and have a go at the plastic bits in the engine bay, total cost about £20 and makes a massive visual difference. Hope thats given you some ideas. Exhausts and the like are great but you already have a fairly competent one, unless its rotting away which some do...unless you got a decent budget have fun with some of the small stuff in the meantime

Well worth the wait and very impressed, big pats on backs to all involved

Not my Zed anymore but love the photos anyway

What Dannyboy said they have to justify the cost of £100, so do not pay £100. You have a pretty legitimate case that although you parked without paying it was not at a cost of £100 to the private land owner and any court will realise you made reasonable attempts to pay the charge and when you couldnt you legitimately left. Have a browse here, http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/private-parking-tickets it shows you the rules for charges on private car parks, they are not fines, they are meant to be charges to reclaim the money you owe, which is not £100 and not anywhere near that amount.

Careful with the Spyder products, they are US made, I enquired before and apparently the beam direction cannot be adjusted (as they are built for driving on the right hand side of the road in the US) so once you get them on your Zed they will be pointed in the wrong direction.

no problem attached...I also added the side steps as well which complemented it nicely

Anyone want these cats? Will take £50 collected.

I bought one of these, and they look stunning on the front, also a bonus that they are not lower the clearance on the front either like a lip might so speed bump problems avoided also. You need to drill the holes in the splitter, the trick I found was to take off the plastic deflector thing which is already attached under the front of zed and use that as a template to mark the drill points on the splitter oh and put the metal struts on as well even though its apparently optional, they work well at keeping it straight and taught.

Zed will look MILES better with the grille, its not hard, just cut the slats off

Inconclusive! Dropped mine a few times and its fine even without a cover. Has anyone with 4s upgraded to iOS 6 yet? Got a message today asking me to upgrade...have to say dont want to lose the likes of google maps for apple-we-ballsed-it-up maps...

Sorry these were sold last month

Good choice, we have an 04 focus, service between myself and brother took a couple of hours including tea breaks! Easy to get at plugs, just generally very maintenance friendly car.

Ideal for the track or for winter, Bridgestones with around 3/4mm of tread left, wheels have various marks and kerbing. Only looking for collection no delivery or courier, am in TW10 6DP. £100.

... 19s all the way, unless you are tanking it around a track there is plenty grip on 19s with decent tyres to keep you on the road, if you go off its more likely driver error than any failing of 10 inch by 19 inch rear wheels - and of course they just look miles better

GLWTS - there are buyers out there, you just need a very good ad and good clear photos, I managed to shift my car at a premium very quickly despite the doubters so it is doable. I think the only concern is as raised in the tyres, most guys on here will pick you up on it (in fact most car savvy people should) but your average auto trader browser will probably only check the brand and not realise that the rears have x5 the amount of grip than the fronts. I did notice last year though as winter encroaches, demand drops and prices drop, so do bear that in mind that the longer you hold out for your price now, the fewer buyers your will have later in the year and the more choice they will have, worth bearing in mind.

The paypal thing could be a number of things, they could send you a payment of £0.00 and say that when you hand the car over to the transport company they will release the funds. Another is that they overpay you, and ask you to pay the transport company direct the difference you owe them, then they withdraw back whats left of the balance from your paypal account (apparently this can be done) and your cash disappears off to a scam transport company. Etc etc Problem is, now you have given bank details, address and email address, you will be on a scam list and get pestered by them trying to sucker you into parting with your cash, so let your bank know and and be aware of more emails.

I always have some bizarre mental image of a big boiling pot of carbon which you precariously dip bits of Zeds into when you say something like that Rich!

My heart says go for it - my brain says otherwise. A broke country, no money, government have a policy in place for fuel to raise funds, remove some of that and the money comes from somewhere else, income tax maybe, so lets put that up they say. Or it could be VAT, or they will put up VED, or it could be a tax on food, the list goes on but ultimately you will pay for any money saved on fuel, you just wont realise it. I remember the cheers and the 'up yours' to banks when charges for letters sent to customers could no longer be charged at £15, shortly afterwards current accounts were suddenly £5 per month, the banks were not out of pocket, they simply recouped it in a different way, they had to otherwise their business model would collapse along with your savings. Oh the futility of it all

Nope, will be coming along in the baby-mobile (ford focus) if I come along - would be good to catch up with some of the people on here and have a chin wag and check out some Zeds really!

Yeah not bad, been very busy of late what with the career change to teaching - standing up in front of global brands board members to predict their sales, easy, teaching maths to 13 year olds, terrifying seriously! Happy I made the change though Hope to get along to a few meets again once the dust settles.

Bought a few things off their website a while back and automatically came onto their mailing list, anyway, got an email through that says for the next week if you put in LOYALTY10 as a discount code you get 10% off, if you spend over £29.95 (using the code) you get upgraded to next day delivery for free as well. Just thought would let you know Col
