  1. Thanks Dunk. Info was for Zedd. Never did understand offsets but I was assured by the seller they would fit without rolling the arches.
  2. Just checked my offsets. Front 21 rear 24 could have gone lower on the rear Teins..maybe.
  3. Bodyboarder 81 Think you know more about my car than me ! Well spotted.
  4. oh and my fronts are 255
  5. Nice wheels. Can,t see why they,re rubbing though. Got the same setup with my volks and teins fitted but plenty of clearance.
  6. Think I read somewhere..we need two children for each "British " family to keep the U.K solvent. Early 2000,s we had something like .8 per family and going down. Germany was even worse... This might account for the politicians reluctance to stop immigration and especially when you consider that ethnic groups produce a much much higher ratio of children. Britain is now just a melting pot...time to leave....or get rid.
  7. Take your point Kyle R but the front lip add on looks just that..an add on. If I went down that route I would go for a new bumper. There,s also loads of speed bumps around here so a front lip would cause problems. Oh Iron Bru...wasn't, meaning to hijack your thread...just a reply in MHO. Re the NOS...I had a system fitted to my Mitsubishi 3000 GTO TT a few years ago. I was told to upgrade the Engine to forged Pistons ,crankshaft etc. I didn,t and all was fine until I sold it. The new owner blew the engine after a week !!! On a new note...saw the new BMW hybrid at the Autosport show last weekend... Most stunning car I,ve ever seen. Got to have one !
  8. Add-ons are in my signature. Currently down at the NEC at the car show but I will post some more pics tomorrow night. Oh and its midnight blue with frost grey seats.
  9. IMHO. Zeds look better if mods are kept subtle.Two tone doesn,t work for me. A decent set of rims and lowered springs set the stance more aggressive. Beyond that,Polish it to death and you have a very classy,understated car. Add on body kits,gaudy stick on graphics,raspy exhaust etc. the car belongs on the local supermarket car park with the boy racers. But then,I,m an elderly geezer with this my fifth Zed.
  10. Those " stanced " cars look like a giant has sat on the roof. Awful ! IMHO
  11. Totally agree with g mans comment. My son,s recently back from serving in Afghan. Total waste of effort out there. We,ve achieved nothing other than wasting lives and money. Those shouting rhetoric about the need to put boots on the ground anywhere outside the u.k. should be forced to serve on the front line.See how many politicians and Generals would advocate their boots in the thick of the fighting. As for any non Muslim placing himself in any area of conflict voluntarily,how can they justify their own naivety ? There is a lesson to be learnt by all immigrants who continue to align their fundamentalism to religious groups. Throughout the 30s and 40,s millions of Jews were annihilated because of their religious beliefs. We are starting to witness the same populist growth of nationalistic fervour in Germany and France right now. How long before there is a massive backlash against all Muslims living in those countries? The only time I,ve heard of a successful counter to terrorist atrocities was in Vietnam where a company of ex SS mercenaries carried out even greater barbaric punishment to captured terrorists.
  12. Welcome to a great club and a very friendly,helpful forum. Be very wary of contracting Zeditis though
  13. Currently running 255/19 front and 275 /19 rear on the 9.5 j and 10.5 j Those are the minimum widths recommended and should satisfy modded setup for insurance purposes. Fit well and just make legal tolerance on the arches .Also fitted Tein lowering springs 15 m front 20 rear.
  14. Great for parking. Just step right out on to the kerb.Got to use your door mirror to pull out though if someone,s behind you.

    Spacers

    I had 20/25 spacers before moving on to 19 Volks gtc,s . Now running 275 rear and 255 front tyres and they fill out the same on the rear and 10 mill wider front . Look just right.Fit the the 20/25 split and save a fortune on wider wheels and tyres. Good luck
  16. Had the same sort of problems with mine when fitted by a local garage. Then I took it to Falcon over in Middlesbrough and they re jigged the whole setup and now I don,t have a problem with alignment or my HFC,s touching the bodywork.
  17. Totally agree with the previous post. He,s conned you out of your hard earned cash. Go get it back.
  18. You could try subtle undercar lighting and maybe match with interior hidden LED,s . Colour to match your car . I,m looking at ice blue to compliment my Night blue Zed. I agree they can look naff but look at some of the high end super cars.They,re using more and more hidden lighting.
  19. I will take the bonnet damper set please. P.M. Me Ewan with bank transfer details. This ok for an 07 HR ?
  20. Rt biscuit. I,m 66 does that make me a you gun too ! My insurance £260 and is a second car with 6 years NBC.
