Wouldn't buy anything from a 5 Neg feedback eBayer, car doesn't even look that clean or cared for, under the bonnet is a mess. £9k is far to much by a mile.

Adrian Newey Criticism of New F1 Rules. Red Bull design chief Adrian Newey has criticised Formula 1's new rules, saying their merit is "questionable". The 55-year-old says the new turbo hybrid engines and fuel limits were introduced "without proper thought". Newey said the sport should have spent more time considering whether it had gone in the right direction. Williams chief technical officer Pat Symonds said: "I don't agree. The power-units are relevant to the future of the automotive industry." Newey's comments are the latest in a series of public statements opposing the new rules by four-times world champions Red Bull, who have suffered a drop in competitiveness this year because their Renault engine does not produce as much power per unit of fuel as the rival Mercedes. But he denied he was making his remarks as a result of sour grapes. "I would have said the same thing before the rules came in," Newey said. "I wasn't asked. That's my opinion. "I like lightweight and efficiency, and these regulations have created cars that are exceptionally complicated, quite a lot heavier. "Complication and weight is an expense, if it brings something that's absolutely fantastic, but I do believe that should be debated." The new rules are focused on two levels of fuel restriction - a maximum of 100kg of fuel for a race distance and a maximum fuel-flow rate of 100kg/hour. There have also been changes to the aerodynamics of the cars. The fuel-flow rate ensures that the development of engines goes in a direction relevant to fuel efficiency - and therefore the road-car industry. Removing the rate restriction would lead development down paths that were relevant only to racing, experts say. However, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has proposed abandoning the fuel-flow limit because of what he claims are problems with the accuracy of the official sensors that measure it. Newey argued that the new rules may not have been the best way to pursue their intention of driving increased efficiency in F1. "We've gone down this route of trying to come up with a sport that appears to be road-relevant and in truth that's extremely complicated," Newey said.

Was that the 917 that Piper took my mate Mark Hales to Court for damage to the gearbox, Cost Mark £120k ..!! you bend it, you mend it; I think is the common phrase He didn't bend it , there was a defect in the gearbox which all knew about including Pipers mechanic and it gave out when Mark was driving it. I have seen the Invoice from a German Porsche gearbox specialist for the repair...HOW MUCH..!! Here's a quote from Martin Brundle. I will say however that not a single person I’ve spoken to, which includes not just other motoring journalists but also racing drivers, car dealers and others in and on the periphery of this industry thinks that Hales, who now faces a six figure bill for costs and damages, has been anything other than very harshly treated.

Lots to chose from Golf R32, BMW maybe. There a recent thread on here about cars in that price range.

I thought so..! Its not an original anyway, but close.

There is a fitting guide on here use the search button..but L and R is based on you sitting in the car. Think you may have fitted them wrong way round L on R and R on L.

Maybe its best not to attempt any more DIY on your Zed,,

Its up for grabs on DVLA Reg website.

£2.5k that's a great price, for that kit, and I'm sure for a bit more (and a bag of donuts) Kayser might help with fitting it as well for you, win , win.

Will- easily changed if you want - just send me your postcode Andy Dont worry Andy, I think the postcode you have is for the office, it lives there a lot of the time so no problem.

Sorry to hear you had to sell it FUG, hope you get back into a Zed soon .

You know you want it grundy..!

For some reason I am about 2 miles from where I live..! No prob.

What a transformation, looks brilliant.

Got a set of uprated boot poppers from peteman35 on here, they work perfectly until I park on a slope like my parking spaces outside my house. Solved that by glueing two washers and painting them black onto the flat bit the poppers sit on. Now opens regardless of the slope. Job done.! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still got my OEM, just needs rubbing down and a re-spray.. Missus got out of the car in Tesco today and walked around to the boot, saw the new badge and said THE 3 NOT PERFECTLY STRAIGHT...

Lovely looking Zed, good to see its been well looked after...needs a stubby..!

A friend of mine came off his motorbike when he came around a corner and hit a patch of horse sh1t, so it is dangerous..!!

Some great cars there..Tough choice.

:scare:

Lovely transformation, lots of elbow grease there.

Hamilton and Mercedes continue to dominate in Bahrain The sun might have gone down on the Sakhir International Circuit for Friday’s second free practice session, but Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were just as dominant under the floodlights as they had been in the bright sunshine of FP1. Hamilton was fastest on Pirelli’s medium compound tyre with 1m 36.506s, and stayed ahead when everyone switched to the soft tyre two-thirds of the way through. He ended up on top by 0.365s from Rosberg after lapping in 1m 34.325s to his team mate’s 1m 34.690s. At one stage the German got it all wrong at Turn 10, and regained the track in a wide clockwise loop after failing to make the left-hander. He also was deemed to have impeded Sergio Perez's Force India, and was handed a reprimand by the stewards as a result. Fernando Alonso, Mercedes’ closest opposition in the Ferrari, was just over a second behind Hamilton, with 1m 35.360s. And he had no shortage of company as six tenths of a second covered the 11 runners down to 13th place. It was a difficult day for Red Bull, from which Daniel Ricciardo salvaged fourth place on 1m 35.433s, a time which Williams’ Felipe Massa narrowly failed to beat. The Brazilian didn’t run for most of the session but soon carved down to 1m 35.442s once he did get going. That pushed Jenson Button down to sixth after he’d lapped his McLaren in 1m 35.528s, perhaps a little better than some team members had been expecting after the MP4-29’s lack of speed in Sepang last week. Sebastian Vettel lost a little time with a downshift problem early on, then struggled on the medium tyre and eventually had to settle for seventh place on 1m 35.606s. The Red Bull driver had the two rookies Daniil Kvyat and Kevin Magnussen right on his tail for Toro Rosso and McLaren respectively, with laps of 1m 35.640s and 1m 35.662s. This time Perez was Force India’s faster runner in 10th place with 1m 35.802s, ahead of Williams’ Valtteri Bottas, who like team mate Massa did not run much. The Finn recorded 1m 35.920s to lead spinner Jean-Eric Vergne on 1m 35.972s and Nico Hulkenberg in the other Force India on 1m 35.998s. Kimi Raikkonen, whose Ferrari needed repairs after launching over a kerb in FP1, had an unhappy day and was down in 14th place with 1m 36.366s. That left him ahead of the close-matched Saubers of Adrian Sutil (who briefly stopped on track) and Esteban Gutierrez on 1m 36.962s and 1m 36.975s respectively. The Lotuses came in two by two too, with Pastor Maldonado on 1m 37.259s after a scary aerial moment over the Turn 4 exit kerb, and Romain Grosjean on 1m 37.599s. Jules Bianchi headed Marussia team mate Max Chilton with a good lap of 1m 37.800s. The Briton did 1m 38.247s before his MR03 spun wildly out of control at Turn 4 after a front-left brake disc failure. At the back the Caterhams were close to Chilton, with Kamui Kobayashi on 1m 38.257s and Marcus Ericsson on 1m 39.136s. Towards the end the Swede rolled to a halt with mechanical problems.
