  1. Hmmm not sure, you need to mount it to the current holes where the undertray is attached and it protrudes directly forwards from there. Might want to check with Chris on that. Or maybe contact Stillen, they are very helpful fellas over there.
  2. Seat Leon Cupra, everything the Audi is but more for you money. 240bhp and a few hundred quid remap would see it go up to circa 290bhp, 5 door, modern styling, interior is a bit bland though. Something like this maybe? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201241488226383
  3. I would go with your original idea, stick a few quid aside and have some fun. The great thing about the Zed is that although exhausts and the like are quite expensive, there is lots you can do otherwise in the meantime, the standard exhaust isnt that bad in any case. I put together my own engine bay bolt set off ebay for £25 (although I ended up getting a full set off Tarmac), stubby aerial, buy some vinyl wrap and have a go at a few bits on the interior like the door grabs, centre console, rear strut brace (as suggested above) etc. Gear knob is pretty cheap and I would really recommend changing the handbrake for something a bit chunkier it will make a big difference to the look and feel when driving. I also found that refurbing the leather seats makes a BIG difference to the interior, there is a trader on here (4RE I think hes called) who can provide some leather treatment stuff to bring the seats back up to standard. Maybe some new foot well mats? One of the most fun things I did was buy some wet n dry, some primer and some red paint and have a go at the plastic bits in the engine bay, total cost about £20 and makes a massive visual difference. Hope thats given you some ideas. Exhausts and the like are great but you already have a fairly competent one, unless its rotting away which some do...unless you got a decent budget have fun with some of the small stuff in the meantime
  4. Well worth the wait and very impressed, big pats on backs to all involved
  5. Not my Zed anymore but love the photos anyway
  6. What Dannyboy said they have to justify the cost of £100, so do not pay £100. You have a pretty legitimate case that although you parked without paying it was not at a cost of £100 to the private land owner and any court will realise you made reasonable attempts to pay the charge and when you couldnt you legitimately left. Have a browse here, http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/private-parking-tickets it shows you the rules for charges on private car parks, they are not fines, they are meant to be charges to reclaim the money you owe, which is not £100 and not anywhere near that amount.
  7. Careful with the Spyder products, they are US made, I enquired before and apparently the beam direction cannot be adjusted (as they are built for driving on the right hand side of the road in the US) so once you get them on your Zed they will be pointed in the wrong direction.
  8. no problem attached...I also added the side steps as well which complemented it nicely
  9. Anyone want these cats? Will take £50 collected.
  10. I bought one of these, and they look stunning on the front, also a bonus that they are not lower the clearance on the front either like a lip might so speed bump problems avoided also. You need to drill the holes in the splitter, the trick I found was to take off the plastic deflector thing which is already attached under the front of zed and use that as a template to mark the drill points on the splitter oh and put the metal struts on as well even though its apparently optional, they work well at keeping it straight and taught.
  11. Zed will look MILES better with the grille, its not hard, just cut the slats off
  12. Inconclusive! Dropped mine a few times and its fine even without a cover. Has anyone with 4s upgraded to iOS 6 yet? Got a message today asking me to upgrade...have to say dont want to lose the likes of google maps for apple-we-ballsed-it-up maps...
