skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Some advice please everyone. In my other thread I recently had a total loss of my zed due to clipping a kerb.I want another one but I just don't fancy the silver/gunmetal as every one you see is this colour.Mine was chilli red GT and these are non existent nearly.I've been looking in the for sale section and wanted everyones opinion of the orange zed for sale. link for easyness.... viewtopic.php?f=56&t=55643 personally I like it but what does everyone else think about the colour and whats it like in the flesh? Thanks in advance Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's a decent colour in it's own right, but in my opinion it's not as 'orange' as I thought or hoped it to be. It's more of a pastel orange rather than a bright vibrant Lambo/ Focus ST orange...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetranquilbass Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I like alot but then I'm biased, don't see many Temper's about (not up here anyway) so has a rarity value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's a gorgeous colour, but don't ever mark a panel as it's a nightmare to try and match. It's pretty much the only colour I'd consider buying another Zed in. As long as you like it though, who cares what anyone else thinks?

JetSet Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Looks in the photos. Never actually seen one in the flesh though, seen every other colour so I guess this may be the rarest of them all. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 If you look closely doesnt the rubber seal on the passenger side rear window look out of alighnment? maybe its me but it doesn't look right. cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Looks fine to me, which bit are you referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I actually really like the temper orange, however in the winter months it looks more like a pastel colour like sarnie said. But when its in the sun Again, have to agree with Ekona.. trying to match the paint would be a blooming nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I see what you're referring to now. Does look a bit odd, but I suspect that's either a trick of the light/camera or all Zeds are like that. Can't see anything that would cause it, nor it being a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Here's one I seen a while ago, Red roadster, 05, priced at 9k and it's maybe a bit far away from you, but seems like a good car, even if it is a little over priced. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... n/96020455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think the orange ones are a cracking colour. You certainly wouldnt loose that in a carpark!!!! Not sure id go for a red one, from my experience of red cars previously they always tend to fade. Sometimes I wish id gone for a louder colour as I think they suit zeds, but I was very limited as to what was available at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I personally don't like the orange of the newer cars, love the sunset orange of the older ones though, especially if they have matching interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Bullitt cars have one, but, be warned, it's a dog I went for a looky and walked away rather sharpish. It's been around for a long while and has just made an appearance again after being unadvertised for about 6 weeks. Says it all really. http://www.bullittcars.com/selected-car ... e%20Petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm really starting to like it to be honest.Might go for it if he can budge a bit on the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
