Sounds interesting! Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Or the thing one of my mates likes doing whenever he gets into the Zed...... turns my heated seat on!

Good to hear you've had a good experience with your Zed at last Craig!

Looking good!

Looks that way, unfortunately not enough support for this event this time.

Cracking result mate!!

Looking good!

Looking good! I started on the Volvo the other day, and now it's gone and failed the MOT

There are actually two GM colours. Both with the code WV2, one with (light) after it and one with (dark) after it..... Be careful when having things painted

As Nurrish says, it's be good to see some of the options and ideas up on the forum.

It's a sports car, not a Polo! Enjoy it! Welcome to the club

A lot of cars are levelling out now.....I think you'll see some Zed prices shoreing up as well. Maybe not rising, but a period of no more drops will help.

Welcome to the club

Sorry you've sold Tim, a lovely car, well looked after by a nice guy. Hope you stick around.

Whats wrong in my mind is that there were far more blatent breaches of the rules which were down right dangerous that werent even looked at. People caused crashes and nothing came of it. I agree that I am pro Hamilton, but only because the FIA are hell bent on stopping him from winning another championship. I just hope they dont start to pick on Button now he finally has a good car. +1 - that's my point. No different to the FA reviewing a match and giving someone a second yellow card for a mistimed tackle but ignoring the blatant forearm smash that should've seen a straight red. Which fortunately, they don't do. This is where the FA at least have it right. If the officials deal with it AT THE TIME, then the decision is made.

Nope not seen it. I did compare some DM Xtreme in Halfrauds with my SS and there wasnt much difference to what I could see and feel. But I guess those in the know know better than me Still cost me less than half what DM would have cost and it did the job, and I still run the stock BOSE speakers so you can tell I'm not into my car audio that much One thing that made a big difference to mine was adding closed cell foam (aka camp mat) all over the SS. Helps stop that nasty airbourne higher frequency noise that the SS cant stop. Whichever you chose, remember to get a roller and a good knife. Having a good bond between the material and the car is key At the end of the day, anything is an improvement and SS and DM are good products. With DM Xtreme IMO you get the best but you are into the law of diminishing returns for the price. Is it twice as good? No. But if you've got £3k of kit in the car, it's worth the extra to get the most out of them. And roller and knife are essential as Chris says. In answer to the question, the ideal is to 'seal' the door skin, and sound deaden it. With DM Xtreme, you can cut it to shape pretty easily and with a roller get it into all sorts of places and contours. The door panel should be tight when you put it back on to get the best chamber. The advantage with DM Xtreme is how thin it is, so there is plenty of room to get it in the doors. If you're not going mad, I would suggest 4 or 5 decent strips of it on the outer skin of the car and around the mounting area of the actual speaker.

A lot of modern cars dial out the 'gains' and prevent the chip from being easily modified, not just the Zed. I guess they do it to keep the experience consistent for future buyers or something.

Yep, so it might feel like you are puching the bonnet too high but your pictures show the difference I had with mine at first attempt. The other thing you can do is compress the damper (be careful!) so it shortens slightly as well.
