There are some sneaky red engine bay bolts on there too

No it's slightly off, I do have a spare though just not a job for now too tired! No covers, all originals primed and sprayed!

Yes? Note the sig and my plate spacing

...bored having not done anything to the Zed recently, ordered me a Stillen decal for the front splitter, looked nice, so went a bit crazy with a spray can I guess at least it matches the stillen decal now!

Oi!

...and relax - well done you Hammers

Milltek + Berks = spot on Spend money wisely

Good review - regarding the drone, Cobra do warn about this on their promotional blurb that there would be drone...

I thought the reprogramme only worked on later cars?

SL55 AMG, low on power? Its 500bhp Its a blindingly quick car!

Not the worst number plate in the world I guess... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380438610769

There is a years supply of upgrading posts on just about everything though He asked for a roadmap, some people believe you have to spend a thousand quid on tyres and brakes, others, who havent done and survived, dont.

...depends on what you are driving it for though, I dont hammer the car, or track it - like I say still here to tell the tale and have seen people with uprated brakes talk of near misses. I saw no mention of tyres, which are much more important than upgrading the brembos IMO.

I knew nothing about cars when I got my Zed, quite happily paid for pros to do stuff - but then tried a few things myself which I knew were reversible if I ballsed up and realised it wasn't that bad. Personally, I think if you want to mod a car, its all part of the enjoyment doing the simple things yourself...but agreed his original post said he doesnt want to.

You dont add an induction kit for power though...

Today I am in our head office, up in Benson in Oxfordshire - which quietly holds the title of coldest place in the UK - something about the surrounding environment making it constantly wet, windy, cold and everything else. During the recent cold snap it was only marginally warmer than the south pole... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/6945311/Snow-UK-the-Oxfordshire-village-as-cold-as-Moscow.html

...Throttle Controller, 5 minute install. Plenum Spacer around an hour, Induction Kit around 30 minutes - and I am a complete amatuer when it comes to doing stuff like this - found it was not so bad with the instructions provided.

Upgraded my brakes almost at the very end - and hey I am still here to tell the tale. Upgraded brakes are much better, but standard ones are pretty good as well, better than most cars out there, given the brakes (discs and pads) are going to come in at around the £500 mark I would put it towards making it a smoother ride first with the plenum, intake, exhaust, uprev etc.

" dinosaur and coming from the jag " Take note how those two words naturally come together RTB

For cruising round on the roads I do enjoy a good looking car... For thrashing on the track, who cares what it looks like, you will only be looking at the back of it anyway

In standard format they are quick, a few remaps and upgrades and they become super quick, terrifyingly quick in fact. ...wish I had gone for it now

In standard format its well under 5 seconds 0-62 car - handling is terrific as well

Service interval I was told for the TM edition was every 4 months which seemed mad... ...did test drive one though before I bought the Zed, insurance was x3 more than the Zed and the servicing sounded horrific so I swerved it. Good god they are quick cars. Pretty rare as well.

Mitsubishi Evo Tommi Makinnen edition? Blows away just about anything in your list. ...oh yeah, forgot about the running costs

You will probably get 1bhp with a remap with a drop in filter...it wont add anything on its own, its more a case of it working in combination with many other things that will add a few bhp.
