  1. Only one swap available to me I'm afraid... Unless you happen to know someone who fancies doing a very good garage conversion for an incredibly low price at my new house :-)

     

    Genuinely I would love to help out for the best way to move this on. But I can't really afford to drop the price of it.

  2. Hey all.

     

    Sadly it has become apparent that I will not get to fitting this Fabulous USA spoiler to my Zed as I had hoped, and it is now getting to the point where myself and Mrs E are buying our own house and I pretty much don't want to move it to a new place and have it sit there too.

     

    I originally bought the spoiler from another member on here in December 2013 (I think) and it was damaged in transit. It has been repaired, in fact completely re-fibreglassed in the process as the original was not properly finished from Fabulous USA. It is now painted up in Magnetic Black, thats G41 paint code, not Kuro, although I know that Kuro might sell better.

    So, there was some orange peel effect across the top surface originally, and then when I opened it there was a crack at the point on one end. It has been completely re finished and painted a couple of times now, but the finish and look now is absolutely spot on.

     

    I'm looking to recover the original cost of the spoiler to me, without the repairs and repaint.

    So I am looking for £110 collected from Southampton.

     

    I can potentially deliver or organise a meeting up to around the Reading area (With petrol contribution). However I'm reticent to post after what happened to me.

     

    I love the look of this spoiler and really hope someone is able to get it onto their car and posts pictures onto here as I would love to see them.

  3. Just want to use this thread to say a massive thank you to the whole Zed Shed crew. Despite the massive frustrations of not bring in my brake pads on the Saturday and then finding out my spoiler needs a hefty repair. Bob still fitted my new Lip from Tarmac Sportz like a boss.

     

    Then on Sunday we had some success by changing my belts (AC is working again (woohoo)). And fitting some splash guards in place of doing my brakes as it turns out there wasn't one more go in my discs.

     

    And I'm glad that Mrs E's baking went down well.

     

    So as ever, the Zed Shed was left with a longer shopping list than I started with!!

     

    Now all I've got to do is:-

    Buy New Discs (Front and Rear)

    Find a fibreglass repairer

    Respray the spoiler

    Remove and clean up around the old lip spoiler

    Buy another set of front Splash Guards

    Afford my respray to get everything the same colour

    O yeah. And walk again. That will help.

    My ankle op went fine guys so hopefully I won't be on crutches etc too long and we will be back to see you again soon.

  4. Hey everyone!

     

    I just wanted to share a photo of some presents I bought for myself to start the New Year the right way!

     

    And also it gives me the chance to say massive thank yous to the people and traders that I bought things from as everyone was brilliant and everything arrived safely and promptly...even when I had been a pain on occasions!

     

    So thank you Dunks, Tarmac, and Ewen at Clarke, you guys are awesome!

    So...yes, hopefully when everything is fitted I will get some nice weather to get some photos in and everyone can see that I couldn't fight off the dreaded Zeditis even if I tried!!
