Looking good Paul. Look forward to checking out your mods.


What's the part number for the brake light. Mine has a crack in it.

all looking good... vredstein ultrac vorti for tyres are a good value choice

8 months on, with the weaker springs mine is splitting apart... and have found that when BMW finally acknowledge there is a 2 year warranty, it's not as unconditional as you would expect...

I like your list, clear 3rd brake light is a good call on a silver Zed - one of the first mods I did on my previous Zed

I agree has to be Clear on Silver!

Yep! Didn't want to rush it so by the time I put the last coat on and peeled back the horrendous masking tape job it was pitch black haha

Updated with new pic. Not sure I will keep this on long.

Car was in at Lloyds BMW Newcastle today getting the clear third brake light replaced under warranty even though it was me that fitted it. So keep your invoices and make sure you order the springs and nuts too as they weren't going to do it at first untill I showed them the invoice. Doubtful that they would replace it again, but for now I'm happy.
