My Black GT4

Had the Zed for just over 1 year and after seeing a few other members build threads on here, I thought I would post my car up. However it's more of a tidy up thread than a build one!

First job I did was to replace the pretty tired looking front Zed badge:

Looked much better after:

Next job was getting the seats sorted thanks the Peter aka 4RE Leather

 

There was no rips or tears but just some wear:

The seats now look like they should, very happy with how they came out

The 3rd job on my list was to get the wheels sorted. The LMGT4s had seen better days. The fronts weren't too bad, but the rears had some kerbing and quite of bit of bubbling under the lacquer:

So off they went to spit and polish in Tonbridge and when they came back, wow, what a difference! Stuck with the same OEM colour with the diamond cut polish lip

Just after the wheels were done, I decided to get some alloy gators (http://www.alloygator.co.uk/) fitted to protect the diamond cut lips as I knew any kerbs would eventually cause corrosion. They were fitted by at Wheel Power Alignment in Brockley who did a good job with them.

The alloy gators are the black lip around the wheels and they really do work well. The lips together with using Poorboys wheel sealant has really help keep the wheels mint

So that brings us up to date till today when I dropped the Zed to the body shop:

It's in to get the front bumper resprayed and to get black reflectors + Zunsport grill fitted. As can be seen, the front bumper is quite stone chipped:

The chrome grill stickers are coming off, and together with the new zunsport grill and black reflectors, I'm hoping will look a bit fresher. Also getting rid of the nismo front decal!
