valy Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Welcome to my build thread, I'll try and keep the text to a minimum and get the pics on started with this modified Zed about 3 / 4 years ago: missed it since but I said to myself I want a new project when the time comes so here it is,after a year in an M3 E46 I was back in a ginger Zed Came with a few 'subtle' mods already: Exterior: -TS style carbon fiber bonnet -black 19 inch Zito rays -Japspeed K1 exhaust -Mintex drilled and grooved brake disks Interior: -orange custom gauge faces -carbon fiber instrument pod cover -nissan optional extra aluminium kick plates -resprayed colour coded center console -Kenwood DDX4015 multimedia system -blue led interior lights Engine bay: -HKS grounding Kit -plenum spacer ...to follow.... my progress pics... as soon as I get the chance Edited October 9, 2017 by valy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I actually prefer your new ginger Zed if I'm honest. You say it came with a few mods; one thing I can see you've missed off the list of mods though is the front & rear brake discs as they're definitely not standard. Look very cool with the grooves & holes/dimples. Enjoy the new Zed Valy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 loving both. Valy does someone on the forum own ur old zed? I'll be surprised as it was in a very poor state a couple of months after I sold it and it slipped through my fingers when was up for sale later on but needed a lot of repairs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) first thing I wanted to change was the TS carbon bonnet and went for a black bulge HR bonnet fitment wasn't great on the previous bonnet too so quite pleased with this change. next I had to change the wheels/tyres as they were all round the same size so found these on sale from a forum member and gone for it: 19 inch Finichi Firenze on Yokohama Advan tyres and fitted with these neo chrome wheel nuts end result: Edited July 9, 2016 by valy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
