badCOK Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi Guys, Im Paul, 26 from Purley in South London. Thought id start a thread about my Zed given that Zeditus has finally struck and my bank balance shows ‘Poor†on a daily basis. Owned an E46 M3 for a few years before the Zed and was an active member of M3cutters.co.uk, sold that to attempt to save money given the ridiculous BMW servicing and running costs… Spent a small fortune on the M3, Genuine BBS LMs, Supersprint Race Exhaust…..and a whole load more! Then i bought a 2009 Audi TT Coupe….lovely car to look at, but sadly i hated the lack of performance and sold it after 41 days! Always been a fan of the zed, mainly due to an obsession with Fast and Furious growing up. So here she is in her OEM beauty after a decent clean, 2007 HR GT model… After a few weeks, I started looking at bits and pieces for her….despite saying I would keep her OEM (as we all say!!)…. Picked up some spacers from Mitz at Cougar store….cant recommend him enough! 25mm alround Before…. After… Then set about doing the rear wiper delete, very easy to do and reversible aswell Before: After: Bought a Carbon Fibre gear knob to replace the bulky OEM one, much better feel in my opinion….. Got a friend of mine from M3Cutters to repaint my door trims as mine were showing signs of wear and the drivers side was scratched to pieces! Decided to remove the front bumper and then the Orange reflectors….gave them a few coats of primer and then some gloss black paint. A few layers of clear coat and voila, no more tacky orangeyness! Looks much better i think! Then another cheeky delivery from Mitz at Cougar Store… Some BC Racing Coilovers Very easy to install and seem very good quality. Ride is exceptionally comfortable when in the Softest setting!! And some Rota MXRs in flat black with a Black polished Lip and some slightly stretched tyres….. 18x9.5 ET 12 Fronts…. and then 18x11 ET 8 Rears….so pretty aggressive to be honest! Comparison of the rear (Left) and Fronts (right) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badCOK Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I Love a bit of dish Stuck my private plate on and this is how she sits at the mo Hopefully get my Eibach Rear Camber Arms through this week to sort of the rear camber, rubs like crazy at the mo! Poor old tyres! Got a Full Ark Exhaust system waiting to go on and debating a set of decats too Another Big thanks to Mitz at Cougar Store for all his help so far, Top Guy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badCOK Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wow nice car, you've done quite a bit already and it looks so much better What other plans do you have for the car? Thanks mate Hopefully get the exhaust on in the next few weeks, and then maybe pick up some decats.... other than that, not a whole lot planned to be honest. Looks cracking mate I love how you have barley started and you have already modded mods I take it you couldn't use the spacers for the rotas!! Where are you going with it? haha the rear wheels stick out about 10mm at the mo, not sure if thats particularly legal! So need to stick the camber arms on asap No need for the spacers anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you looking to go badgeless altogether? Cheers man! Yeah really debating taking all the rear badges off.... was going to buy the black Z badges for the bonnet and rear but i actually think i prefer the Nissan badge.....so might spray them black instead. Or remove the whole lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff. nice stance...some great mods there Cheers lads, it nice to hear positive feedback! really happy with her at the mo, ride height will probably go a bit lower once I've got the rear camber arms on.... only if i can that is, once the Ark exhaust is on, dont want it scraping the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
