HEADPHONES

What a tool I can just imagine the kind of pictures he'd post up on dating websites using the same lame excuse!

Fed up not having time during daylight hours to give the zed a wash I dug out my 4 portable cob led worklights and gave the zed a clean under my garage pir security light. Just a presoak, 2bm wash and a 50:50 mix of Sonax BSD and Chemical Guys V07 sealant as a drying aid Got a 20w rechargeable portable workload below left and 3 battery powered ones like the one on the right. These cob LEDs are the nuts and really illuminate a wide area well.

£300 is what I call A RESULT! I don't think you could get any cheaper. Maybe we should have a thread of who has had the cheapest insurance on their zed.

Amazing how painting the mid section of the front makes it look so much meaner

Welcome to the OC

Looking good. Those rims in that colour really set off the car. I agree with cob1980 on that photo too. It's almost as if they colour coded the building in that pic to colour match your Zed

Welcome to the OC. Nice to see a zed finding a good home. I too have an 05 zed with similar mileage. They may be a bit old but have something timeless/classic about them unlike a BMW or Merc which after 13 years will have been superseded by a sea of 2 to 3 newer models.

Cars looking good. Hope you find a worthy replacement

Looked like a wrap to me when I saw it. Was very clean but didn't quite have the depth of reflections that paint with clear coat has.

Spent last week in HK. Didn't see many interesting motors on my travels this time except for this Merc. It was parked next to a standard one in one of the poorer market districts. These would have cost 2-3 times the UK price due to hefty prestige tax even before modding! The 2 cars really stood out. I would have take more close ups but was worried about offending the owners in case they were of the dodgey triad type

Welcome back to the OC

Much nicer now. Should have come like that from factory

It looks like you either have hurculean strength or the W brace did indeed fail the "buster" test miserably. Will have to check mine later. I know it sounds a bit dumb but if my brace only has surface corrosion and is still ok, would I be able to tell by simply giving it a little knock with a hammer to check it doesn't deform or crumble?

That is some sorcery they have managed cram into that wrap! More pics of the front with the canards please if you don't manage a walk around video

I remember a ghetto mods someone did using a small wire connector block to connect the two ends with....... simple and genius!

Welcome to the OC

Looking good. Especially suits your black Zed.

^Gotta love the OC and YouTube.

Loving the front end with the canards. GLWTS

OMG! Nightmare situation to be in.

Time for new rear tyres. So I visited Manchester Tyre Services in Openshaw again. http://www.manchestertyreservicesltd.co.uk Not posh, but a nice clean family run outfit who've just got a new ramp installed. Most importantly they have a Megamount Smart machine! This is how the machine looks in action. No clamping of the fragile lips on my LMGT4s and much less risk of damage during breaking the bead So if you're around Manchester and get stressed about finding a good tyre fitter I can vouch for these guys

Is it like this? If so it was very common. Happened to mine within warranty too. Needs regrease of CV joints if so.

This is what prompted me to change the tyres on our Mini Rubber seemed to be cracking. They were Chinese EVERGREEN tyres though Maybe PROPER tyres would have aged better. Got Uniroyal Rainexpert 3 now I'm older and wiser
