Vale Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks again, One last question, as i said i do have a good eye for a paint job !!! correct me if i am wrong but has the bumper got a standard black grill or should it be colour coded too as this one is ? It is GM (lol) so could be nothing, just a repainted stone chipped bumper and the slack arsed spray guy just forgot to mask up ! right ? Quote
Vale Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Thought so, its clear of HPI damage so i guess someone paid extra to have the stone chips removed....or its a slight bump that didnt get claimed for and just repaired at own cost ? i know what and where to look for in that case. Still, it looks a nice clean motor. Fingers crossed Cheers. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 may well have a chrome grill kit fitted Quote
Vale Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 On the pics Rich its GM, but i can get it put back black no problem, its just why its GM that i will be investigating..... MMmmmmm chrome ????? would i be a ****er getting silvered ? lol be honest. Quote
SwanageDave Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Its quite a nice looking car the g.m but not as nice as my black. but saying that any Zed is cool Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I'm wondering if Vale hasn't posted since yesterday because: a) still out driving the Zed or crying in a corner cos it wasn't any good Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 You might want to have a look here as well..... http://www.westwaynissan.co.uk Its where I found my Zed Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Hahahahahaha I am back from a long long drive in the country in my ZED !!!!!! I got it peeps, and it is AWESOME I keep looking out the window to belive i really have one hahah all hail the mighty Z Jeezzzz i dont know what to do with myself, i got a really good deal from this young chap called Matthew from prestige performance, he is a top bloke and has some proper nice motors in. Infact i cant big him up enough. Thanks Mat if your reading. The car overall is pretty much mint, it has had paint work but it has been done proffesionally and its a spot on job, i would of been proud to turn it out been an ex sprayer myself. Cant see why it has had a part respray but ther are zero prodution marks and no evidence of new panles or bolt/screw tampering. So maybe it was coined or just stone chipped, either way it looks fantastic and a plus point is its got an extra layer pf paint now so double protection, the interior is spotless too, infact its AWESOME !!!!! lol There is only one niggle i have and its probably nothing but the drive train sounds a little noisy when idle, infact if i press the clutch the noise stops so i guess its either the noise from the prop i am sat over or maybe a dry release bearing. The clutch has loads of bite so that isnt a problem, maybe its me. Does anyone else have a slight noise at idle and in neutral ? Other then that i just need to get some miles in it to smooth my gear changes. AWESOME !!!!!!! glad to part of the family. Thanks so, so much for everything peeps. Vale. P.S. nearlly forgot to mention its AWESOME !!!!!! Quote
martinmac Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Glad it turned out well bud. Congratulations. Now drive it down to leicester and say Hi. Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Cheers mate, because i took today off to get it i have to work tomorrow unless the meet is on sunday ? Otherwise i will defo come to the next one Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 AH! So I was right with option a), lol. Glad you got the Zed you were after, I'm guessing it was bang on budget too then. Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Yer mate. Here are its stats so you can tell me what you think value wise. 54reg GT with sat nav, blue tooth and all the usual extras. 6 months waranty with Jaguar left and 1 month from Prestige Performance 6 months T&T Fully refurbished alloys....Faultless !!! (I did check lol) 2 Brand new rear tyres. Almost new disks all round, no wear. 47k miles with FNSH £12200 I is well happy so i guess thats all that matters eh. any ideas about the slight drive train whurring noise ? Quote
nixy Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Hey nice one! Me and Rob (hamster) from Beverley were thinking of a local get together sometime soon (he's from Beverley) maybe fish and chips at Brid if we can grab a sunny day and round a few others up? Quote
martinmac Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 They are quite noisy cars bud. Get another owner to have a listen. Also, if its had an upgraded clutch and flywheel then they can generate noise. Tell Matthew he can give me the money when I am next over. Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Defo up of that Nixy i just got back from another drive around lol cant stop myself..... So glad i am at work tomorrow, early drive out, lunch time drive back...and then an afternoon of Drive drive drive hahahah I put fifty quid in it at tea time and half has gone already computer is telling me i am up to 28mpg though !!! cool. My Wolf Focus only did 21mpg !!!! I am well chuffed Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 I told him you put me onto him, he seems a real genuine lad, he was really chuffed about been mentioned on here, Top bloke Quote
nixy Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 haha, 2 years 3 months later and I still feel exactly the same as that! Quote
martinmac Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Its always nice to find a delaer with an advert that describes "THE" car and not just one that they have pulled off the net. Its also nice for me to find one that doesnt turn out to be a Dawg. Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Hahahahah your avatar rocks Nixy Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 To be honest Martin, i was worried about the paint thing but i had to go to see it to check it for myself, Matthew didnt even notice it had paint work till i pointed it out, hence why he did me a better deal. Still, been from the car trade i can tell good and bad job and usually why.....in this case i trully belive someone had too much money and just decided to do a proper job for a change, unless removal of stone chips or coin damage is done on a more profesional scale from Jaguar maybe !? Either way i am gob smacked at the quality of the workmanship. I applaud the guy that sprayed it. Nice job mr who ever you are. Quote
martinmac Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I see they are offering to buy zeds on Pistonheads, I may give them a call. Quote
Vale Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Well, i'm off to bed now, its been an eventfull day off to catch some more zzzzzzzzzedz hahahah Again, thanks for the advice and input, appreciated mate. Kindest regards, Vale. Quote
martinmac Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Hull will be a beter place with the addition of one more Zed. Quote
