When I read the first phe and you went for a second gunmetal I was in full face palm mode lol

 

Id be well chuffed if I was you. A few further tweeks and it will be one of the nicest on here

 

Glad your looking at modded headlights cos that orange reflector clashes. Any thoughts on caliper colour change? Your wheels might hide them but I think they clash as well. Never liked the orange brembos

So I personally like the gold brembos but not 100% yet. Think I'm going to paint the new works the same colour as wheels are now but with the polish lips still.

 

Headlights will be going black probably but it's just the price of replacements that scares me...haha

 

Thanks for those comments though...means a lot to me to hear that from someone.

When I looked back on how much I spent on my zed I was shocked but I had no regrets. Loved it to bits and still miss it 3 years on. You've came this far (and spent that much) don't worry about a few hundred quid on lights they will set off the front end

 

Chargespeed rear with v2 front and side steps is the most common combo on here but this colour sets it off nicely

Today I met Bems and bought some unwanted zed parts from him since selling his zed. Me being me was straight home ripping open boxes and pulling stuff out bags to get it all fitted like kid at Christmas not being able to wait.

 

First of all it was the easy one and got the genuine luggage net installed

Then I got myself some genuine nismo engine bling installed

Next was the bonnet dampers in and this certainly just adds a bit of class to under the bonnet

Into the car I went again and got this wee beauty installed. Pretty easy to get the new nismo pedal on to be fair.

Obviously leaving the best til last I got this genuine titanium nismo knob installed. What an difference it makes with shifting seriously. What an PITA it was to install though...well getting the old one off at least

Testing wheels today and have to say I personally think they look epic...haha

 

Seems the fronts are going to need quite a bit spacing to get past the brembos but back fit nice and snug.

Now just to find some tyres to fit and work out if I'll need any stretch at the front to fit under arches.

Meh...that's another day though

Now all I have to do is get the coilovers sorting and lights changed tomorrow and that should be everything for a whiles (on the outside)
