Hammerz Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Evening all, Am thinking about options for styling the Zed but I think it's a lot harder with a black Zed than other cars as you don't see the detail or change in style so clearly. I'm thinking of using another subtle colour, or carbon products. Anyone done this already, pics? I'm not looking for crazy body kits, but change in bumper, skirts, diffuser.

BillyZed Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) A mate of mine had a black zed and they look amazing done right He had a purple theme going on. White and chrome BBS LM replica wheels (with spacers) Once it was stanced out it look class mate! Black is very good colour once it's done right Edited November 27, 2013 by BillyZed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 What year is it? The HR bonnet with the bulge is a great styling upgrade for the older Zeds imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete87 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Take a look at my threads and see what you think of mine, I've got loads of carbon I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I know what you mean about seeing the detail on black Zeds. The only reason why I have not gone down the Charge speed rear route as I dont think the rear vents etc will clearly be seen as much as I would like them to.

WhackyWill Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This is one of my favourite zeds of all time I would rock myself to sleep trying to get this over speed humps in London, . :scare: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Your right about losing detail on black but with the right colour accents and the right mods you can really change the look of the car If I ever got another project car I'd go black just so I could go for bright green or purple calipers but all colours work well on black Red is done to death but it is always a safe accent colour option. This guy had red accents on his black BMW bumper, not sure if it would work on a standard zed though Edited November 27, 2013 by LRF4N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) You're 100% right, it's harder with black cars. I'm going the carbon route where pretty much everything I change will be made from it. I'm currently having a V2 front bumper with carbon lip and canards fitted, which should look pretty decent, but still not even close to how it would look on pretty much any other coloured Zed. Have a look at Wasso's, he has the V2 front with black painted canards and lip on his azure, looks amazing. then look at GT4ZED's. He has the same bumper as mine on a black zed. Still looks great, but doesn't stand out as easily as other lighter colours. I think the main trick to a black car is fitting a nice kit and working the paint until it reflects like a mirror. No other colour will have the reflection capabilities of black, except chrome maybe lol Edited November 28, 2013 by KyleR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Shine is definitely what black cars are all about - although keeping it that way is HARD work. Still love taking a look at my old Zed... How about going for a white dusted look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Would anyone recommend black window tints? if so what's the legal limit allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete87 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The key is not to go to dark I don't think there is a limit on the back windows but I expect the fronts are already on the legal limit, mine were tinted when I bought it and I do like them.

WhackyWill Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) This is mine I think the Gold goes well on a black Zed, bit like JPS of the 70s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited December 16, 2013 by WhackyWill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I like Humpys car very nice as for the charge speed rear vents that would be a minor implication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Black is the best colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I originally wanted a silverstone grey 350z and ended up with a black one and i have to say now, i am so pleased i did. Biggest impact on any black car is a decent choice of wheel, colour of the wheel included in that imho. Forget trying to add colours whether that be to trim or accents etc it just looks tacky (particularly if you get it ever so slightly wrong) and carbon is just too old hat and passe now and it blends too much with black to actually stand out enough to be noticeable.
