:DSo after 4 years of ownership i said to myself about time you post a build thread...well here we go

 

I bought my zed back in march 2009

Came to me standard apart from the black tinted windows and scorpion exhaust system.This was always going to be the only car i was not going to modify :lol:

 

well very shortly after getting home the modding bug took hold.all started so innocently with a change of badges and colour.

Not to long after doing the badges i wondered what to do with the wheels,not having buckets of cash at the time i sprayed em.

Didnt look to be bad i thought but after a couple of weeks i wanted more......

 

So after a visit to Sarah

at Envy South i came home with a v2 rear spoiler and c-west front splitter.Quick visit to the spray shop and all,s good.

Now after that you would think i d be happy but no,it need more.Some side skirts or spats so guess what.....

I managed to get o/e dirt shilds(mudflaps) front and rear and vielside under skirts.

 

Even found time to paint the door handles black along with the wing emblems.

Around the same time i found a company that made pre cut tinting film for the rear bumper lights so add those as well.

Next on the agenda was a private plate so as a christmas present Mrs Buster bought me this

Found a rear deffuser to finish the look

and added tinted rear light .

 

found myself always searching for the next level so change the front slightly by adding a air in take and painting part of the splitter black to match the grille.

Nice build thread, what a lovely machine. Not a fan of the v2 rear spoiler, much prefer the one you you opted for - is it a standard one? I am trying to decide if I want to purchase one myself, I like the smooth lines of the zed. Also a big thumbs up for the side skirts, very subtle :thumbs: Where are the from?

Nice for sharing your build Bob. I like the side skirts best and when you got shot of the tea tray on the rear. Not do keen on the all ginger front look the black grill area made it work before.

I'm sure thee is till more to come as you are so fickle :D

Keep it coming :stir:
