Chizzz, Swiftyy and myself will be attending this too I believe!

Great choice!

Congrats mate. Invidia is a nice system, you should be happy with that looks smart.

Looking good chap. You get the shorter rear brake lines sorted then? You'll love the ART test pipes, got them on mine, love the sound and I find the accelerator more responsive

Good job there sir. Looks tidy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the amuse.

When's the fitting going to commence then?

July 2015 - The Torqen Episode: And then.....I met Adrian sh*t got serious. More updates to follow soon

May 2015 - Japfest Time: This happened.... What can I say, amazing experience. Only problem being, now I have the bug A few shots whilst out on track anyway:

March 2015 - Time to get down and dirty: My brother-in-law (pictured) and I gave the Zed some much needed TLC. Products consisted of: Carbon Collective Satsuma Snow Foam Carbon Collective Lusso Shampoo Carbon Collective Mammoth Wash Mitt Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner Raceglaze Super Size Detailing Brush Carbon Collective Clay Mitt Dodo Juice Basics of Bling Clay Bar Dodo Juice Born Slippy (Lube for Clay Bar & Mitt) Poorboys Waffle Weave Towel Carbon Collective Panel Prep Surface Cleaner Silverline Silverstorm Rotary Polisher (1500W) Autoglym Paint Pro System (Two-Stage Polishing Kit) Carbon Collective Platinum Paint Coating Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels Coating Carbon Collective Platinum Glass Copious amounts of Microfibre Towels I won't go into too much detail about every step, I'll let the pictures do the talking. However, the steps were as follows: Whole car was snowfoamed to begin with using CC satsuma snow foam. The body was then washed using two bucket method and CC lusso shampoo. Wheels were washed using VP Bilberry wheel cleaner and Detailing brush. Shampoo then rinsed off and not dried (kept the water on the car for use of the clay mitt). Bit of Dodo Juice Born Slippy applied whilst using the clay mitt also helped. I used the clay mitt to do one panel at a time and was rinsing each panel as I went along. I started off with using the clay mitt with a fair bit of pressure on the windows to 'break it in' before using it on the bodywork. For the wheels, exhaust and smaller, more intricate areas I used some good old fashioned clay bar. Then the car was washed again after it had all been done with the clay mitt/bar. Car was completely dried and rolled up into the garage ready to begin polishing. Door handles, badges, rear diffuser, black rubbers and plastics were all taped up in blue 3M tape to avoid being damaged. First of all tried out the Stage 2 'Refine' polish and pad on a front wing to see if it provided enough 'cut' to get out the scratches and blemishes. It didn't quite provide enough in this case so we decided to use the Stage 1 'Renovate', which was then followed with Stage 2 afterwards. This method was adopted around the whole of the car, with many areas also having to be polished by hand. The bulk of the car was machine polished though. This left an amazing finish on the paintwork, but also a lot of excess polish, so the car was rolled back outside to be washed again. Whilst my brother-in-law took the reigns on the polishing I applied a coat of CC Platinum Wheels to each of the powdercoated rays and also to the cobra backbox and tailpipes. Following this wash, after the car had been dried, all the surfaces were 'cleaned' using CC panel prep to provide the base for applying the sealants. Every piece of glass had a coating of CC Platinum Glass applied to the exterior faces. The bodywork was then covered in CC Platinum Paint, one panel at a time. Leaving a beautiful finish and protected Zed. The end result:

I'm working on it Looks like he can only do it during his lunch breaks Hahaha you got it! Days over now though

February 2015: Picked up a JDM Rear Diffuser & Stubby (Yes - it took me over a year to buy one ) from Chris at Tarmac again. I also purchased some 'Z' centre caps from Asad on the forum, I painted the cap the same colour as the wheels and had the 'Z' done in black to match the body. I never got any pictures at the time, but managed to get some decent shots from the Ace Cafe meet in March... Still not closed that arch gap up yet

I'm working on it

B-e-a-uuuutiful.

December 2014: A few months passed by with no changes as the show season had already passed before I had chance to attend any...a small update nonetheless courtesy of Chris at Tarmac Sportz. 20mm front spacers & 25mm rear spacers Couple of fitted pics - makes a world of difference, just got to close that arch gap up a little though...watch this space

Great choice fella! Go on, spill the beans....what you get it for then?

When's the grand reveal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah Autosol, or Meguiars NXT, or even Carbon Collective Lustre. Failing this, paint them black

Buy Gemini system with just titanium (no burnt) tailpipes, she'll never know

Laaavly

Congrats and welcome aboard!

Sooo…MOT Time (July 2014)…..everything all fine and dandy…oh wait, there’s a crack in my exhaust!! Luckily it wasn’t enough to fail the MOT so I could take the car home, but it was back on the blower to Mitz again. So, time for a resonated cobra system, including the Y-pipe upgrade. The order was placed, and the goods arrived shortly after. In the meantime, some lovely lady who lives opposite me decided to reverse straight into the front wing of my zed! Then she even managed to claim 50/50 responsibility for ‘collision’ – let’s not go there. Fortunately, Ewan at Clark Motorsports was on hand to provide me with a brand new genuine OEM front wing as a replacement. There was damage to the front bumper as well to add insult to injury, having only had the bumper re-sprayed less than 5 months ago, I was rather annoyed to say the least! Back to Addiction To Detail in Coventry to have the damages repaired and the new Cobra resonated cat-back system fitted (what a lovely sound by the way).

Wow. Get some pics

Cheers fella! Oh yes, the E-type is a beaut. It's my Grandads, not mine unfortunately!

Thanks mate - appreciate your kind words. I haven't quite caught up with all the change yet, so watch this space. A few people will be aware of what's already happened and what is coming
