skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Some advice please everyone. In my other thread I recently had a total loss of my zed due to clipping a kerb.I want another one but I just don't fancy the silver/gunmetal as every one you see is this colour.Mine was chilli red GT and these are non existent nearly.I've been looking in the for sale section and wanted everyones opinion of the orange zed for sale. link for easyness.... viewtopic.php?f=56&t=55643 personally I like it but what does everyone else think about the colour and whats it like in the flesh? Thanks in advance Chris Quote
Sarnie Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 It's a decent colour in it's own right, but in my opinion it's not as 'orange' as I thought or hoped it to be. It's more of a pastel orange rather than a bright vibrant Lambo/ Focus ST orange...... Quote
thetranquilbass Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I like alot but then I'm biased, don't see many Temper's about (not up here anyway) so has a rarity value Quote
Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 It's a gorgeous colour, but don't ever mark a panel as it's a nightmare to try and match. It's pretty much the only colour I'd consider buying another Zed in. As long as you like it though, who cares what anyone else thinks? Quote
skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 The advert also states 2007 but isn't the reg a 2005? unless i'm mistaken. thanks for the advice so far. cheers Chris Quote
JetSet Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Looks in the photos. Never actually seen one in the flesh though, seen every other colour so I guess this may be the rarest of them all. Pete Quote

skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 cheers pete. much appreciated. Chris Quote
skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 If you look closely doesnt the rubber seal on the passenger side rear window look out of alighnment? maybe its me but it doesn't look right. cheers Chris Quote
Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Looks fine to me, which bit are you referring to? Quote
skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 picture six..from the rear areial to the rear passenger window.The rubber seal looks out of alighnment. maybe its me but look closely. thanks again Ekona Quote
Jay Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I actually really like the temper orange, however in the winter months it looks more like a pastel colour like sarnie said. But when its in the sun Again, have to agree with Ekona.. trying to match the paint would be a blooming nightmare. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 If you look on PH this car has new wheels Here's the link to the wheels we supplied for Karl - viewtopic.php?f=107&t=57770 Quote
Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 picture six..from the rear areial to the rear passenger window.The rubber seal looks out of alighnment. maybe its me but look closely. Ah, I see what you're referring to now. Does look a bit odd, but I suspect that's either a trick of the light/camera or all Zeds are like that. Can't see anything that would cause it, nor it being a problem. Quote
skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone got a link for the piston heads ad? cheers Chris Quote
Sarnie Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone got a link for the piston heads ad? cheers Chris Lazy ****er Quote
skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Yes sorry sarnie.looked through 50 cars and couldn't find it.I'll have another look. Apologies for being a lazy f**ker.. Quote
KyleR Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Here's one I seen a while ago, Red roadster, 05, priced at 9k and it's maybe a bit far away from you, but seems like a good car, even if it is a little over priced. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... n/96020455 Quote
rabbitstew Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I think the orange ones are a cracking colour. You certainly wouldnt loose that in a carpark!!!! Not sure id go for a red one, from my experience of red cars previously they always tend to fade. Sometimes I wish id gone for a louder colour as I think they suit zeds, but I was very limited as to what was available at the time. Quote
KyleR Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I personally don't like the orange of the newer cars, love the sunset orange of the older ones though, especially if they have matching interior Quote
Zugara Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Bullitt cars have one, but, be warned, it's a dog I went for a looky and walked away rather sharpish. It's been around for a long while and has just made an appearance again after being unadvertised for about 6 weeks. Says it all really. http://www.bullittcars.com/selected-car ... e%20Petrol Quote

skidder Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 I'm really starting to like it to be honest.Might go for it if he can budge a bit on the price. Quote
