    You know i actually quite like that green :wacko: but ive heard you have to be either super cool or mentaly unstable to run a bright green Z :lol: which I 'm neither :thumbdown: . Theres a guy down south somewhere that runs one but I've not yet seen it in the flesh. He definatly falls into the super cool category though :teeth:

    Thanks for the help though guys :thumbs::bleh:

  3. Hi all Im thinking of changing a few bits on the car over the winter ready for next year and one of them being the wheel colour. They will need a refurb after another winter as the polished lips are starting to tarnish and my question is;

     

    -refurb as they are with the polished lip

    -refurb in anthracite all over

    -refurb dark bronze all over (and in no way to look remotely like gold :yuck: )

    -refurb in midnight purple all over

     

    So if there are any photoshop gurus out there that want to lend there skills I would be most greatful. Oh and all opinions are welcome but it doest mean that i will listen to them :lol:

  4. Pull all 3 door boot seals off,

    remove the 4 poppers just Inside the boot edge,

    The sun visers are held with two screws under a little cover and then need unplugging carefully,

    The clip that holds the other side of the viser you put a flat bladed screwdriver up the back of it and twist it 90 degrees and then out,

    The A pillar trims just pull off and behind the passenger one there are two plugs which feed everything in the head lining so unplug and unclip them,

    Then remove the top seatbelt bolt and let it drop,

    Pull the plastics behind your head as far ou as you can but they won't fully come out without taking all the plastics off which is not needed in my opinion,

    Then lastly get your fingers up behind the microphone by the mirror and pull down gently, there are 4 quite strong clips that hold the microphone and sunglasses holder up.

    Now the whole lining should be loose and you pull the front down past the mirror and winkle the back corners out from behind the plasics and it all comes out of either door all in one

     

    Hope this helps :thumbs: it really is quite easy if your handy with the tools

  5. Headlining comes out easy, probably bout 15/20 minutes if you know what your doing :D it,s the retrimming and spraying the plastic which is more time consuming. But definatly a worthwhile mod and makes a huge difference to the interior :thumbs:

  6. I think getting 275's on those will be difficult pal, but with regards to the rolling I've had mine done by arch enemy and with the suspension set up on the Zed you find the further in the Arch the wheel gets it throws a lot more camber on, if that makes sense. So I think a roll flat would be plenty and you might get 255's?

    But flares rarely come out well, always a bit ripply and the guy who rolled mine said on certain cars it can put a big dent in the quarters :thumbdown:

    I'll be getting on the M25 just before clacket lanes services so don't mind stopping there and any more suggestions are more than welcome? :thumbs:

    So far it looks like this

    M25 clockwise stop at clacket lane services

    Off at M3

    Off the M3 at A322 up to the M4

    Stop at Reading services

    On to Chippenham

     

    Will, you know your area better than me so if there is anywhere good to stop around the A322 we could meet you? Failing that it would be Reading services :shrug:
