My sterling grey 2.5
After much hunting, thinking about it and hunting some more I managed to source a car local to me (near Belfast) Nice low mileage motor with a full dealer history and all its MoTs. No plans in terms of modifications, maybe change the head unit for an iPod one at some point

Welcome that's a nice looking example and a good choice, but I would say that
Wheels can make a big difference and there is always a market for half decent alloys to use a winters, Although they are a swine to keep corrosion free I still think the BBS split-rim 108's are the classic E85/6 wheel and really suit the Sterling Grey (these have grey coded centres).
Enjoy

Yes, I'd agree and different types really set off a Sterling Grey Zed and add that individual character.

Both lovely examples, larger wheels do make a big difference. I'll probably wait until I need tyres then change the rims and get rid of the run flats.
I enjoyed getting a run out today with the hood down, the note of the straight six is glorious.

Welcome to the forum - you've come to the wrong place if you want to keep your Zed as you bought it
Good to see you're enjoying the straight six already

Yes, that sound and the first experience of driving a Zed is unforgetable. Enjoy it !

Absolutely a good choice. Welcome to the forum from another 2.5 sterling grey owner. Marlon is quite right though, this isn't the place to be if you want to keep the car as standard
Here's mine with its winter hat on and a set of 107's.

Ordered an aux audio cable this morning, it was only a £5er but it's a slippery slope!
