I think we are in for some rain this weekend so maybe a good time for some mods
I'm taking all my wheels off for a proper clean
By the way I would prefer red mirrors

Out of the two choices it would be the first one, although personally I'd prefer red mirrors.

i am hoping to get some good driving in on sunday when the weather clears up a bit..... red is an option but it would make it look like a 35i, so i need something a little different :)

think i will try option 1 and see how that looks

I like the silver grills, they somehow give a much sportier look to the front end of any zed.

I'm thinking of putting a pair on my new valencia orange zed when I get it later this month. Can't seem to locate any on ebay though.

Your best bet would be to put up a wanted post on here to see if anyone who's swapped them are willing to sell. I wasn't sure re the grill but the other half 'surprised' me with a new grill about a week after I bought the car. It's still not fitted but he's determined it's going on.........we will see!
