  1. Just done mine, basically the letter of authority to make plates should come with new tax disc and MOT, once you have the letter you can legitimately have plates made and fitted & put replacement tax disc on display.

    MPG!

    Mostly get 17 mpg which everything considered is fine by me for a "toy" however last sat drove sensibly -never above 3, 000 rpm on a trip to buster(mostly motorway) and got over 35mpg but was bored to tears so came back a different route on nicer roads and mpg back to normal. If you want economy you have to sacrifice the reason for owning a zed (imo)
  3. Thanks Mitz
  4. My floor mats are very worn and I want to replace them but after market mats look cheap and nasty. Does anyone have new or used mats in good condition that they want to sell.
  5. Remember driving there to pick up a body shell for a Nissan Stanza way back when the garage I worked at wrecked a customer's car that was In for service. Those were the days of the 280Z - my favourite car of the time.
  6. Met Buster from the zed shed today. Buster helped with fitting stevey200's leather seats. They look so much better than cloth and sit lower so now I have some headroom! Buster, It was good of you to help and it was great seeing your zed's and some of the mods you've done, just when i thought my spending was coming to an end!!! Now I have lots more to spend money on. And now i am the proud owner of a zed shed sticker.
  7. R35, I've kind of already agreed to buy off another member, but if it falls through I will get back to you. OV53 that is what i was hoping to hear, as i dont currently have air bags is there any harm in not connecting them?
  8. Hi, I want to fit leather seats but cloth are manual and leather electric with air bags etc. I need to be able to adjust seat. Has anyone done this swop and did you have any problems i.e. is loom compatible?
  9. Grundy, aside from a technical fault with my first choice vinyl which meant choosing an alternative the job takes three - five days. There are a couple of air bubbles that i noticed this morning but i popped into Paul's today and he smoothed them without any effort. Paul is sound and really does a great job, i am sure you will be more than happy.
  10. My thoughts exactly, who wants to run with the herd?
  11. Mark, I could have saved a fortune by buying a nearly new 370 the amount I've spent on this in just six months!! Major service Clutch and flywheel Brakes All 4 tyres Wrap Wheels painted Coilovers - next week Spacers - " Leather seats from stevey200 ?
  12. Hi Buster, if I can sort it with Stevey is this w/end any good? You let me know when is good for you. Apart from my car and the Crispy Kremes is there anything you need me to bring? Beers?
  13. Turtle, no idea of weight but I reckon taking the rear wiper of makes up for it, and looks far better!
  14. Crispy Kremes! Sounds good to me!
  15. On the back of posts stating how cheap sky were I phoned them for a quote for my zed. 48yr old 73% protected no claims 6,000 mile p.a. 2nd car (3rd if you count Company car) 3 points (sp30) They couldn't beat esure @£420.00 So always worth checking round as every driver and circumstance are different.
  16. Hi, Cheeky question but i am thinking of buying seats from Stevey200 who is breaking his zed and lives near you. As I have no chance of getting seats in my car I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help me swop seats at the zed shed in return for my fabric covered seats (if they are any use) and / or a drink. I live in Derby and can't think of a sensible way of getting seats to me. Any help would be much appreciated.
  17. I just took the rear wiper out and that cured the problem, who needs to see where you've been!
  18. Wrap was £1250 +Vat wheel refurb £250 + vat Just had a look at pwpro website and he's uploaded images of my car at various stages of work, worth a look, I will try and post a link over the next couple of days. Thanks one and all for the comments, glad it's well received.
  19. Can't spell... meant to say really sound guy!
  20. Pwpro in mansfield who did the job tell me vinyl guaranteed for ten years, I think the issue, as with paint, will be cark park damage. But I can wrap it three times for the cost of a decent respray. If you are thinking of wrapping take a look at pwpro website they show their work at various stages so you can see what they do and Paul is a really skund guy.
  21. What are the seats like? And what do you want for them? I live in midlands so fair trek but might be worth it if the condition and price are right.
  22. Hello and welcome, what part of the country are you from?
  23. Just told esure I have wrapped mine, painted wheels, coilovers(as of next week) changed stereo, changed registration number and got three points. All it cost me was £20 admin fee.Always tell them everything as you don't want to give them an excuse not to pay out should the worst happen.
  24. I think it looks better "in the flesh" phone pics dont do it justice. Don't particularly like the stubby aerials so I settled for just removing the rear wiper Spacers and suspension next week then start on the interior in the spring so will probably be knocking on your door vlad
  25. Finally got my car back from wrapping so thought I would post a couple of pics from my phone (hopefully) will take some more next week when Mitz @ CS has done coilovers etc. I hope you like coz I do. http://s1008.photobucket.com/user/davehollands/media/2013-12-11132237_zpse021f480.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4
