Okay so as you can see my build thread came to a halt a few months ago!! I've still not fitted the spats, although they are painted, but what with one thing or another I was in 2 minds as to whether I was keeping the zed or not. You may have even seen my for sale thread up last week. Anyway, I'm keeping her but whilst I'm at Uni and unable to work project zed is going to have to wait.

 

I did spend some quality time with the car today with a good wash and polish then took her for a spin. To be honest I drove it like I'd stolen it and now know I'm keeping it as long as I can!! This will be the last post on this for a while but just to maintain the updates I'm adding a pic of the head unit I installed earlier in the year and some from today just cos I can :p

Thanks Ian, I'll certainly keep my eyes open for you too. You should try and join us for one of the North East meets if you're about at the weekends too

So I've not been modding recently but I have been enjoying the zed. One minor issue it had that has always bugged me but I never got to sorting until today was the cloudy headlights! Poor pictures SS they were an afterthought but over the moon with the results :thumbs:

Lights look much better :thumbs: but did you put anything on them afterwards to keep the UV at bay? They'll go cloudy pretty quick in my experience without a coating.

Headlights look so much better Lyndzzz.

 

I agree with Stu though if you haven't put some type of UV protection on they will eventually go cloudy again. I used "Turtle Wax Ice synthetic paste" on mine which seemed to work pretty well.

Might be better options but that's what I used anyway. :thumbs:

Thanks guys. I haven't added any UV protection yet as I wasn't expecting them to come up as good. I'm picking up some UV clear coat tomorrow to finish the job off properly! :thumbs:

So it's disgraceful how long it's been since I updated this thread, but started back at university and renovating a house means I've had little to no spare time or money!

 

As you'd expect all the servicing has been done but I've also been gathering goodies to continue the modifications :thumbs:

 

I fitted an Invidia Gemini exhaust earlier in the year and have just had her returned from the body shop with her new chargespeed rear bumper and led rear lights!

 

Now it's persisting down with rain and I only used my phone but I had to take some rough pics to share!

 

I've also got a plenum spacer to add as soon as I get my assignments finished ;)

Good stuff Lyndzzz, ...not enough women on here imo putting their own spin on modding their cars. ;)

 

Yours is one of my favourites. :D
