DrMatt's Red Zed

[DrMatt]

So during the first rainy day since getting my Z I noticed my rear wiper was made out of a spatula.

 

I ordered a replacement Bocsh aerotwin from wiperblades.co.uk. (I got the cheapest delivery and they still arrived in 2 days).

 

Here is a little comparison between the standard wiper blade and the bosch aerotwin one.

 

 

After buying this one I noticed Tesco do there own version for half the price which looks almost identical for half the price. (I may have to do a sideby side comparison of those when I replace the front ones.)

 

Installation was a total of 15 seconds plus 1 minute to get into the packaging.

 

I think it looks pretty good as a replacement.

 

 

 

Now, typically, there has not been a single drop of rain since buying them so I have not had chance to see them work, but at least it looks nice.

 

 

On a side note whilst cleaning my engine bay, I note my "completely standard" Zed has what looks to be a grounding kit an a K&N panel filter fitted by one of the previous owners, plus looking through the service history it has the clutch done already which I wasn't expecting (only the fitting receipt not the type of clutch kit so unsure if flywheel changed at same time). I may have to hunt for other changes now....

Pics of your car would be good.

Delete the rear wiper for a much cleaner look.

 

Nice to see a red Z, I reckon a set of rays and Eibach spacers would set this off lovely.

Here is a repost of the pics from my welcome thread.

 

 

 

 

 

I was tempted by deleting the rear wiper but given the amount of seagull excrement I have had land on my rear window in 1 week of ownership I can see a practical benefit of it at the moment.

 

As for Rays, I really like them but I could get these refurbed in the colour that I want for the same price or less.

Sell those for a set of rays, they are so much nicer. Never been a fan of those on a Z, winter or track wheels maybe but they don't look 'special' enough for me imo

 

Wheels and spacers with a couple other minor touches would make this stand out and look great, never seen a red one personally

My plans exactly. Wheels and low to set it apart then play with the big toys.

 

Lovely car mate. Perfect colour too
