Have exactly the same on my 04. Just had a bodywork guy price £300 to fix with no guarentee it won't come back.

So, priced a new bonnet at the local dealer...£332+vat. Was expecting much more than that. New hood would still need painted and lacquered though.

Haha. A new exhaust is on my list. But I actually like the sound of the standard one! Perhaps its because I'm new to the whole nice-car-scene. Must get someone to rev mine around a car park so I can hear it from outside. Not many tunnels in Belfast

Past a moded celica in my 8 year old stock 350z a few weeks back in heavy traffic on the Westlink in Belfast. Had a massively smug grin on my face as I dropped a gear to give him a whiff of my exhaust note (I'm a relatively recent owner).

Within 20 seconds a GT-R cruised past me on the outer lane. He stole my smugness. Temporarily.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot, a new passenger side window motor is on that list too!

A gunmetal grey one came in a turned right along the Titanic dry dock earlier this week. Has been back at least once. I sit at the window beside the barriers. My team mates, who have been complementing me since my purchase back in May, all pointed and laughed out "ha ha, common as muck".

I do like the gunmetal grey though.

Got mine off a guy in Dromore around last May. Think it spent most of its time in his garage but its now my daily drive around Belfast. Silver, no after-market anything.

It's always the way but I now see about 5 a week having never noticed them when I was looking to buy!

I went from a 1.4 Fabia to a zed. Absolutely love it. I also had the luxury of time when buying mine but eventually went back and bought one of the first ones I looked at.

Don't rush, hold out for a good one and you will love it.

, nice Zed just needs a stubby and some spacers now

Stubby is definately on the list, but want a plainish one that still gets a decent signal. What do spacers do? Are they to push the wheels out a bit?

Going to see a local bodywork guy tomorrow about a couple of blemishes on the bonnet. And I'm told by my mechanically minded friend that the front discs need done within a few thousand miles (and that it'll be expensive!). After that the non-urgent list is...

Leather (got a die in the post today, thought I'd ordered the whole kit).

Stubby.

Z Badges.

Replacment gear knob (it's a little worn, want to replace like-for-like)

Sterio 3.5 jack mod.

Exhaust (still has the factory fit, it's an '04 and has been patched once by a previous owner).

Tyres (early next year some time)

Wheel refurb (maybe when getting tyres done).

Some pricey things (for me) at the bottom of that list. Any other big jobs I might end up with on an 8 year old?

Thanks guys, very speedy responses! I think I'll like it here.

Hey, I joined a coupe of months ago (and bought the zed a couple of months before that). Finally thought to take a few pics in the sunshine. And, of course, have a couple of issues but will do the due diligence searching before you hear about that.

Pics...
