Im almost as south as it gets

I got my zed a couple of weeks ago knowing that it had damage to the front bumper, which has now been repaired and resprayed and looks good as new. The slight problem however is that there is a bigger gap between the bumper and the light / side panel on one side of the car. The bumper is actually loose on one side , you can push it back up into place but when you let go it drops a few mm. The gap isn't huge but its noticable. The engineer who checked the car pre purchase said that the car had been in a very light bump, probably when trying to park or something and it had been repaired but not to a high quality. The guy who did the spray job said he can look at it on monday, but I would be looking at around £100 labour for removing and reattaching the bumper + the cost of any plastics needed to support it back in place.. does this seem like a fair cost and any idea what the cost is likely to be for the plastics ? (for reference hes done a great job on the bumper and touched up loads of other little marks etc so pleased thus far).

Yup is supaguard but with haggling it will be about £150 for the while exterior and interior valet, polish, clean... That said if its possible to achieve the same results in a day doing it myself then might be a better option

thanks for the suggestions, its certainly not a electrical whine, will fiddle with the windows over the weekend and see if it fixes it

Thanks for the feedback, i shall investigate further.. in my defense... back to the future promotes speeding! not that I ever would of course

haha, my flux capacitor is broken so it cant be that causing it

dont think its the window, and kinda hard to tell where its coming from but 85mph seems to be the magic number for it starting

hypothetically speaking of course.. if I was to drive the zed at 85-90 mph and hear a whistling sound until I dropped below 85 again.. what would you think it might be ?

just had a quote of £170 for a full valet + external clean/polish with paint guard (apparently guaranteed for 3 years).. Just wondered if any of you have experience with doing the paint guard yourself? is it worth it? and what kind of money does the kit needed to do it cost? Most importantly how long did it take you ? cheers

You guys are probably right, im very paranoid lol, think I may invest in a big steering lock to put my mind at ease a little... Worst case scenario Im of course fully insured

Only had the zed a few days now and dreading my weekly poker night.. The problem is I have to park in a public car park which when I get there (around 8pm) is fairly full but by the time I finish poker its about 1am and the carpark is usually empty apart from my car + 2 or 3 others. Being bright orange doesnt really help matters either lol. Its not a particularly sketchy area, but lots of cars and people drive past the carpark so it will be on view easily. I was thinking of how best to secure the car and make it obvious and wondered what you guys thought about steering wheel locks? Thought it would be a nice visual thing. Also seen a few alarms which txt your phone if set off (ill be about 2mins run away from the car park) Any thoughts or advice? How do you guys get round this problem?

could you link me up ?

Just had a quote for repairing my alezan seats. The driver seat is fairly bad and the passenger seat is a little work but nothing too major. The quote was: Drivers seat full clean & repair to 4 panels £185 Passenger seat full clean and repair 2 panels £125 Handbrake & Gear Stick clean and repair £25 Does this seem ok to you guys? Before you ask, the driver seat is too far gone in my opinion to use care products. I have attached a photo of the worst part on the driver seat. Both seats seem very dry and cracked also in lots of areas.

hmm maybe i need some hydraulics ? or go go gadget car wheels on legs ?

Will a non lowered zed clear a standard sized kurb? where I park at work its a pain trying to avoid having to drive up/down the kurb not sure whether to risk it lol

awesome thanks for that

Cant decide between 2 different sets of alloys ? Simples! Just have a different pair on each side of the car.. it wont look silly as there is no way to see the car from both sides at once ! *gets his coat*

really? seems pretty small for that lol

forgot to mention, there isnt one on the passenger side

haha think its sorted now, cant take a photo till i get home and will be dark then

Just been giving the new zed a clean and noticed that on the driver side by the back wheel arch there is a thick transparent sticker.. Started to peel it away a bit at the edge and looks like it will come off fine if i continue. as you look at the rear wheel arch it is just to the bottom right of the wheel _________ ..............\ ...............\ ................| .................| ________ .....wheel....| |sticker..\ .....arch.......| |________\ ...................'------------------- hopefully that diagram shows where i mean. its very well placed and clean etc, the edges line up perfectly with the edges of the wheel arch etc Any ideas? Can i just pull it off ?

For 33k id wait a year or 2 and buy a GTR
