ANYTHING is possible!

it just depends how big your wallet is! Most pieces will have to be fully custom, plenty of trial and error, would definately work out cheaper to go FI, or sell up and get a TVR....

It's nice, very nice... but IMO its not very Aston

Too much going on with the splitters and lips everywhere, astons should be smooth and sleek!

What's this hydrographics you speak of?

Seen a silver 350 roadster with black wheels? Anyone on here?

I also see a red 370z parked in Brinsley everyday, anyone?

Cheers

 

Im unsure with the front plate atm, im going to get a vinyl plate made up for the min till i can decide on a solution

might even get a cheeky small plate and try and risk it

 

Get a full sized plate and attach very strong magnets to it, cover them in a material that won't scratch your bumper though. Also attactch two strong magnets to the back of the bumper, simple on and off when needs be.

sounds like a great idea!

Todays job sorted! (excuse the mess, engine bay is the next job!)

JWT Pop charger installed!

Sounds bloody ace now!

Cheers

Shes back

fancied doing summit with the rear strutbrace and ended up with this...

only quick pics for now, ill get some better ones when its dry

Im of no help here tbh, but if your still struggling come Sunday, ill point my mate in your direction, he should be able to help you

My cars in the bodyshop next door to where this is getting sorted, so i got to look around it last week....

Gutted for the poor owner though! I would be fuming if it was mine!

What about an RS6 or even an RS4 estate? both incredible cars!

Possibly could be up for this! Its a little out the way, but im sure i could find myself up that way!

I bought my Zed just over a month ago now, with the intentions of keeping her standard...

Kuro Black, Alezan Leather.... she was perfect....

Upon getting the car home, and looking through the history a lil more, i discovered the car was already running a slight tune...

Apexi Exhaust (Y piece and backbox), Plenum spacer, RevUp remap and pushing a healthy 290bhp!....

So with the intention of keeping the car standard was out the window!.... But standard or not, she was still perfect!....

Perfect untill you realise the standard Rays have awful offset!

Spacers and suspension was ordered (Eibach pro-sport + 20/25mm spacers)

Stubby Arial was then quickly purchased... No pics, but its an OEM Honda S2000 part, fresh from Honda

Then I decided that the brakes were good.... but could be better, so thanks to Zmanalex, these were ordered

A cargo net was also purchased as i was fed up with being hit on the back of the head with tins of beans!

Unfortunately due to some eejit, the car was booked into have the rear bumper/ rear 1/4 resprayed, but i have decided that i may aswell tart a few other bits up, so...

The wheels will be getting sprayed, all badged resprayed, front number plate smoothed off, window tints and a few serviceable items sorted, and also a deep clean on the seats! The car should be back from Body and Tuning in Mansfield on 15/06/12 and to say im excited is an understatement!

To help the wheels "pop" these were also purchased...

My pop charger also arrived today, so hopefully by the weekend, we'll be cooking with gas again!

Im sure these came on on mine, check the brake fluid level, and top it up if its not at the max

Looks smart! Whats the front splitter?

Metal polish you can not go wrong with autosol!

What would folk recommend for black/dark paint?

Mines booked in for a medium tint on the back, and dark on the rear screen, didnt want to risk it with the front windows as tbh i dont think its worth the hassle!

Notts police seem to hate these sort of things!

I dont like them sorry I think it would look alot better if they were tucked into the arches more...

Stunning! Headlights look sweet!!

Ouch!

I once went on a spirited drive out with a few local forum members to Matlock Bath.... Luckily we stopped off at a petrol station, and as we were catching them up, we saw brake lights flash up, and the group stop QUICKLY... so we took evasive action and got to see the carnage side on.... 8 cars all going into the back of each other... painful to see to 8 good mates!

I was sat in the passenger seat and got to see it all too well! No1 had any real major damage, only a few broken bumpers!

Awsome! ive been looking for a new book to get sunk into... This should do the job!

Im tempted as its only on my doorstep! Just cant commit as i dont know if the car will be how i want by then!

Not fun is it, still hopefully you will get her back and looking brand spanking new.

 

On a positive note at least you are not cranking up the miles in the zed.

 

I know how you feel, i dropped my roadster off for what i thought would be a quick couple of days job, its now expected to take 3 weeks, all when the sun was out and shining. Typical. Getting fed up of the courtesy car, just want my zed back.

 

At least your zed will feel like a supercar after being in the corsa for 2 weeks

Thats what im hoping! Ill also save a hell of a lot on fuel so i can slowly get her how i want her

as soon as the bodys all sorted, its time to try and hit 300bhp

Im exactly 1 month into my Zed ownership but yesterday i had to drop her off at the body shop after some dickhead crashed into the back of me then drove off

Its going to be 2weeks before shes back, but 30hours in, and i already miss her Im having to drive the Mrs' 1L corsa about..... at least ill save some money for some more mods!

Shes gone in for a wheel repaint, rear 1/4 and rear bumper repair, and smoothing off the front number plate, and some tints!

I can not wait to get her back would be an understatement!

There is Toy Box Tuning up in Mansfield woodhouse mate?
