Welcome and I hope you will enjoy owning the Zed. No comparison to the M3.. I once owned a new E 46 Phoenix yellow Smg. I,ve had four Zeds since then including my current one which I,ve owned twice ! Beware Zeditis though.

Nice job there bodyboarder. Are the new wheels ready yet ?

I,m on my third mid life crisis so it was a natural...previously on Jaguar the Mercedes forums... This one,s by far the best. Loads of advice and friendly interaction. Excellent trader support too.

Dibs on the z light and the oil filer cap if it fits an HR

24k miles on the clock and two months in...dual mass flywheel,clutch,banana bar....fifth Zed and the first with any problems. Good luck !

Been lowered now and has correct tyres so sitting better. Your rears to the front 255 and 275 rears

Thanks for the comments well pleased so far...would have gone for a 40 profile but not enough clearance on the front to match the set I also like the crouched stance with the higher tail. Take your point with milling.it was a suggestion from my tyre guy. Done enough for now so I.m looking at interior mood lighting as the next project. Thanks again...Good advice as always. Mrt

Welcome to a great forum.lots of friendly advice..most of it good.Excellent traders too.

Look like the wheels I bought of you last month Simon

Oh and I,m not a grandad yet bodyboarder !!! Three sons 39,38,28 and still not even close to married.... Post some pics when you,ve finished the wheel setup

Car nuts ! this one is my number 48 in 49 years motoring.. Need a glass case with corgi cars covering those I,ve had.

Thanks everyone... got there in the end...Now looking for a Zedbus so I can use my old age pass !

Big welcome.. great forum this despite one or two sharp comments occasionally. Plenty of expert advice which will save you time and money. The traders I,ve dealt with so far have all gone beyond just good service and generally offer very professional advice for your planned mods. Finally,.... good job on the Mini. If you apply the same kills to your Zed it should be one to watch.

Sold my convertible in June. Great car and no problems with rigidity. Replaced with another coupe for two reasons. 100kgs heavier than the coupe so slower acceleration. Roof up looks less sleek. However,roof down looks great....IMHO Drove 90 % roof up

Congratulations and good luck with your planned mods. Beware Zeditis, it,s progressive.

With 600 bhp " unexpected expenses " might be in the region of 12 points

As requested, photos after fitting optimum width tyres on 9.5j x19 fronts and 10,5 x 19 rears. No rubbing on 255 x 35 front an 275 x 35 rear

You don,t need to roll those arches with 275,s . Will post some pics tomorrow after work. Found out today you can have the offset milled to a higher degree. Cheaper and easier than rolling. Mine are et 24 rears

Thanks for that JJ . I will check them out.

Very stunning Zed.

I,m looking into fitting some form of internal lighting in a soft ice blue colour. The lights will need to be semi concealed as I would like a coloured ambience as opposed to visible light bulbs. Would like to be able to drive with the lighting on so a variable light level would be perfect. Has anyone gone down this route before. Ant advice would be welcome.

The stretched tyres I inherited were so bad in respect of ride they the new ones have totally transformed the car.got a huge smile now.Onwards and upwards. Falcon did a good job on the underneath with the waxoil.would highly recommend them for us northerners. Best regards Roger

Might have gone with 30 mill rears IMHO.

255 front 275 rear and they fit perfectly...no rubbing and manufacturers optimum fit for the wheels. Rides much much better now.

Cheers bullet magnet.. Get on that right now. Fitted the rear 255,s to the front and new 275,s to the rear. Perfect fit...no rubbing....totally transformed the handling and ride... Hooray. First time I,ve enjoyed driving the car.
