My Zed and I survived the winter...

[RLiu]

Bought my amazing z4c last september and promptly joined the forum in october.

Some happy pics of when i first bought her...

Changed my keyring accordingly...

Autumnal rain tried its best to dampen the spirits but a very light wash and polish dealt with that...

Inspection 1 experience with Sytner Oldbury (A bit pricey at £335 but the service/valet was good). after the valet...

When the snow arrived things got hairy...my fault for not putting on winter tyres...
Got beached within the car park so decided not to risk it on the roads. Since the car park was empty and physically unable to hit anything. I had a lot of fun being a chav and powersliding (most fun i have had in a car) all at around at 15mph. Very sad i didn't take any photos.

Attended my first forum meet (met some midlanders)

Finally gave it a wash and polish today...

My problem is the lack of mods! The only mod so far is the stubby. I have ordered a couple of forum stickers.
On the list are a new set of alloys (so i have a winter set) CSLs, MV2, MV3, 108 or 241s
?Sound mod
?Painting brake callipers

Very happy indeed.

Nice write up - enjoy spring summer

Yeah its all nice and clean now. It needs a machine polish to be as shiny as i would want it! cleaning it today i learned a few things...

Cleaning the car is painful. Firstly since i don't have a machine polisher my hands and wrist hurt a lot afterwards (golfer's elbow) and secondly when you take the time to inspect it carefully you start noticing new swirls and scratches you were blissfully unaware of before.

Must start saving for a professional detail/physiotherapy

The obligatory spring clean photos....

The weather...i knew it was going to be a bad night..

In the morning...

Neighbour did really well to get their car out...

In the cool light of day the zed was filthy...

A quick clean....hose, wash, spray on wax.

Black mirror...I know the results would be better with pressure washer, snow foam, clay, two bucket method, machine polish but i am happy with what a quick clean can do.

Looking good there.

Mine is just as dirty as yours was - can't wait until she's clean again, but the effort... The interior is manky too, so I am having to psych myself up for a full on 5 hour session
