Looking good dude and congratulations, I hope you're enjoying it.

My exhaust has just turned up. I just need to wait for my mech mate to have a free slot and he'll bang it on there. That's as far as I'm going mods wise....for now. I quite fancy getting one of those nostrils though.

Is it too late to add my name to the list?

So? did you get it?

Would these fit a UK 2003 zed?

Sounds like it dude, sorry. Mine has it as well but only when going in reverse. I need to fix it but can't afford any medicine right now

Apparently the click is quite often from only one side. Try listening with only one window open and then the other open to see which side it is coming from. That way you only need to change one.

This is all under the misguided impression that the dipstick is actually usable, which it isn't, at least in this dimension. Seems as though it was designed by a 2 year old with a crayon... .in his mouth...during an earthquake...whilst on a rollercoaster. Stupid thing it is.

Abbey have a great rep too, but they're further away from the man.

Ahah, got ya.

Dude, Abbey Motorsport. Mine was <£180 I think from them, and very very reputable

I love threads like this

Mine had a little mark on it as well so I just took it off, cleaned, clay barred, polished and waxed the paintwork that was behind it and then just stuck it directly to the bumper. Looks better imho. And it would save you 75 squids. And you could sell Paul your old one...

 

Done and done

Did everyone just ignore me?

Ooooooh, I think I might order one of these, they look really nice.

Rothers: kudos to the nipple shot (4th picture)

Haha, back to the future. Silly but this made me chuckle.

I'm not saying you couldn't get it for that price but I personally think it's worth what he's asking. All depends on his personal circumstances, it seems he sells it with a heavy heart so probably won't let you pull him down much, but he has had it up for sale for a while so he might be quite happy to haggle down to that price. Worth trying I think, at the worst he can say no, he won't kill you for asking (hopefully).

Take it for a drive and see what you think, if you think it's worth it you might not want to haggle too much.

Definitely not overpriced dude. If you think it's overpriced then look at the others, but it has had some tasteful mods and considering it has FSH, mileage is nothing to worry about. Many have reached well over 100K, and I think people in the USA have even quoted reaching over 200K.

Always worth a haggle though

Best of luck,

Welcome to the forum as well

Congratulations mate. I'm extremely jealous as I was seriously contemplating this but my dad (whose garage I would require) is away so I couldn't ask. Looking forward to seeing the photos you lucky swine.

I never ever thought I'd buy a plate as i saw it as the single biggest waste of money on the....

 

oops

 

 

I genuinely couldn't resist after I saw it

 

I guess not everyone knows what it says but for those who do it's like getting a private joke, just one that's shared with millions of other internet nerds

Good work John, I like it.

I want one now.

Found V6YEY, haha, but thought it might be a little camp

Guess what my name is?

 

Liam you're such an ASW!

ASW? I'm guessing xxxx xxxx whore

unluckily for me, the phrase 'I need NOS' is one that i keep hearing the 'dark passenger' inside whispering

 

Im ruined

 

Very nice car, and great build story.. to see this in a forum garage will be good

Nice little Dexter reference Brown.

Yeah, sorry I think I led it a little bit off track, I just wanted to know where your OEM spoiler had gone and now look, people are playing silly buggers with pictures and stuff.

Hahaha

Is that what Wasso looks like?

Okay, now I am up to speed. Thank you Wasso.

And well done Jim, stop being right.

Oh, and I'm not a fruit loop. I was trying to see if my Paint skills were good enough to trick people into thinking there was a man on fire in the background, it has clearly backfired.

No no no Jim Jim Jim. Referring to the first post: "here she is stock...:" and then that picture. Definitely not a carbon boot if it was stock.

WillyP - There is that plastic strip under the front bumper, you just can't see it. It was a nice bit of plastic that would let me know I'm getting close to a speed bump, and now with the new bumper it doesn't have one of those, so when I hear the scrape, I'm actually making contact with the underside of the bumper

.

Nah man, I mean the rear spoiler. Just the little spoiler thing that is on the back of all UK models. Hang on, I will help.

Oh dear, there was a man on fire in the background, was he okay?

You are a fountain of knowledge Jim.

I think my car is in danger of being stung by wasps in the garage right now anyway. A nest the size of one of Jordan's fun bags is in there.
