Scott TMN Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Looks awesome mate! Also hoping to do the same on mine, but seeing yours has spurred me on What % is the tint by the way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks Scott. TBH I'm not exactly sure what % it is. I do know that it's one shade lighter than limo tint. Looks very black in the photos and when looking at the car from any distance, but if you get close you can still make out the Z on the strut brace. You do have to be 'looking for it' though.

ph 7 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Looks superb Ian, on my list to do to mine but I'm thinking of painting mine instead of wrap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgedon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Very similar to mine Ian, top work Need to get my window tinted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiingsi Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 How, did you go about painting the plenum? I.e sand or just degrease and clean, did you primer it or just paint and did you use high temp paint? Think it looks spot on and was going to give it a go but was unsure how to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Quick mod update. Finally got round to fitting the rear splash guards I got from Smudgedon (cheers Jordan ). Think they finish the splitter + skirts combo off nicely. Rubbish phone pic will have to do for now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) 30.06.2013 - 94462 Miles OK, so spent some quality time with my Zed this weekend. Cleaned and conditioned the seats with Gliptone Liquid Leather. Got a kit including the cleaner, conditioner, brush, sponge pads and microfibre cloths for just over £15 online. Did take some before and after pics, but they really don't do the results justice. Really pleased with the result and the leather not only looks 'fresher' but smells like leather again (like a new pair of shoes). Definitely recommend the stuff. Then onto my local exhaust centre. I wanted a bit more 'volume' from my exhaust, but couldn't really justify the expense of buying a new system as my back box is still in great condition (yes, even though it's a Japspeed K2 ). So after a conversation with 'the exhaust man', she was booked in to have the centre section replaced with a 3" diameter piece with no silencer in the middle, replacing the 2.25" diameter OEM one. Before After Now sounds much better. Not loud (as the rear silencer is chambered, so still keeping the noise levels very acceptable), but gives a little burble, rasp and pop on the over-run. Nice. Then painted the mirror mounting brackets with Plasticote (not Plastidip) satin black to freshen them up. Also painted the large black slam panel in the engine bay too. Looks like new OEM. Result. Next where the front discs and pads. Replaced with Kinetix discs and Brembo pads. Will give feedback once they've been on for a while and bedded in. Also did an oil and filter change as it was due.

14N Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Quick 10 minute mod - Bumper Tuck. No drilling, just 2 zip ties. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Looks good mate! That mid pipe deffo looks ace and im guessing sounds even better! And you running same brakes as me then...Kinetix with brembo pads... I had mine on for few months now -and no problems so far! But whats bumper tuck? never heard of it and cant spot it lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Cheers Vlad. The zorst does sound good, but there may already be a replacement on the horizon..... The bumper tuck is imaginitvely called because you 'tuck' the centre part of the rear bumper up to reveal more of the rear silencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
