chrisjones6699 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Here we go then. Here's a pic of what my Zed looked like just after i bought him.... And here we are a year later...... Just had the tints done 50/20 mix (Perfect, thanks to Geoff for being my guinea pig! ), the lip wrapped matte black (it's not covered the whole lip because of how badly chipped it was and the wrap was taking the paint off ) and all the badges off and replaced with black (with the exception of the side badges....they are chrome pearl black... ). I don't mind about the lip because it still looks awesome and i know that i want to have it sprayed that color when i get the whole bumper re sprayed! Well apart from head lights and rear lights, this is how i wanted my Zed to look and I love it more than ever! Finally got there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you clarify for the tints 20 on the fronts and 50 on the rear? I would have thought its 20 on the sides and 50 on the rear, not sure you are allowed to tint the front are you out of interest how much is it to get this done properly? i.e. not a roll of **** off fleabay but a professional job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Are the wheels from a GT-R? If so,they must have cost a fortune,they suit the car really wheel,though must be a pig to keep clean and shiney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbramble Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Are the GTR wheels a straight fit? Do you have the stock size GTR tyres fitted then? Cheers, Ant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 very nice. the wheels really suit the car. What type are they? I think I'll be pinching you idea on using a stubby aerial, they look much better, is there any issues with radio or TMC reception on the satnav that anyones aware of?
