KyleR Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 She's beautiful and that colour is amazing, never seen it before on a Jag. Everything I went to see around here was either the dark blue, champagne or a variation of silver. But the colour was never going to be a deciding factor in my purchase because if I had found a real minter before the Zed I was going to wrap it in BRG When I was considering one, I found this very affordable full exhaust system that I would have liked to have fitted, it gives the cat back it's growl http://www.xk8-parts.com/index.php/cate ... rformance/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Still a car your dad would drive So is the Zed, mine makes up excuses constantly to take it our for a spin.

coldel Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 My dad got in mine and complained about the clutch, the ride, the interior, the gear shift and the visibility... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Still a car your dad would drive its alright you can keep your hot wheels car, i''m happy with my mans car I did actually consider a Jag XK, but the fact you can walk under it and the back end is in a different post code to the rest of the car I decided against it... ...seriously though, they do themselves no favours with that wood look interior shame really as it does as you say have some good points for the money.

rtbiscuit Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ground clearance can easily be reduced, but i must admit i like the fact i can clear most speed bumps with out grounding out. its also helped my knee that i no longer have to go so low to get in the car. if you thought the zed was low the stock s2000 suspension is almost on the floor as for the wood interior i like mine, but its not the usual walnut dash, it doesnt photograph well but its a greeny grey almost like sharkskin finish. i love it. and the turquoise dash lights at night look awsome. heres a couple of paragon pics of their new verendum kit. which is possibly going on my car it is a big car my mates call it the luxo barge which is fine by me, its huge, but it does what its designed to do very well. the seats are like arm chairs i can do a 7 hour drive in it and get out feeling very refreshed, its not a chore to drive, it almost drives itself. and when i want to put my foot down the SC makes mincemeat of pretty much everything. its got 2 more seats than the zed and a bigger boot. makes going on long trips that bit easier. i don';t mind what others think, i'm happy with it and it makes me smile, and the auto box has saved my knee from falling apart. only thing i'd like to see on it is possibly some paddle shifts on the steering wheel. and when i get bored of the power i can sqeeze another 150 bhp out of it for less than 2k.

coldel Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I know mate, just pulling your leg. I think for the money, in stock mode, the Zed looked better and wasn't like boarding an aircraft carrier so went that way. The bodykit does look nice, it certainly makes for a more modern looking car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bodykit does look nice, it certainly makes for a more modern looking car i think aircraft carrier is quiet apt, i'm the same length as a big estate car, and wider than most cars. it does feel like a 5 min walk from one end to the other. the body kit gets rid of the roundness from underneath the car which empersised the gap to the floor. with more square edges and nose it widens the car up and lowers in visually. at the moment its only going to be the rear bumper as its going to be part of the rust cure measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
