Valencia Orange Z - New Member

Another vote from me for the VO club.
Very nice motor.
I like what you did with the roll hoops, but not so sure on the rear valance? Kind of loses the shape for me, but hey ho, each to their own.
I see yours has an aerial in the middle of the boot lid (trunk :)). I think that's a US-ism?

I believe that little bump on the panel is for the satellite receiver antenna. I hear you on the painted rear panel. At first I was thinking of getting it made in carbon fiber but the cheapest I could find was 5-6 times the cost of paint. If the grey painted piece didn't look so cheaply done, I wouldn't have had such an issue with it. It cost me $100 to have it painted. Same with the rear part of the roll hoops. The silver paint looked cheap compared to the rest of the car. Those cost me nothing. The body shop painted them for free when I had the front bumper cover painted.

Free is the best price!
I agree the grey lower edge looks a little cheap. I think you're right that CF would look much better. But it's a lot of money for a cosmetic look.
Always hard to tell from a flat photo. And anyway, it's yours and you like it.....................job done :thumbsup:
 
i was umming and aaahing about painting the rear half of my roll hoop covers to break up the dark interior, mine is black throughout.
I think I will go ahead based on yours, I also love the matching stitching in your seats, worth remembering when interior retrim time comes around.
Where did you get the carbon trim from or was it in when you bought it?

I don't think painting the roll hoops will break the dark interior unless of course you are looking at it whilst standing behind the car with the hood down. Don't think it will make a difference when you're sitting inside the car :P I thought about doing something with the roll hoops either painting them or hydro dipping them but in the end decided it was best to leave them original, but then again I have a black car and don't want the all black look.
 
if it's not raining my roof is off, heated seats and steering wheel on.
If it's raining, its in the garage,,,,,
 
Glad you and your wife are enjoying the new Zed. I always enjoy Valencia orange and it looks great when shiny.
What’s with the one odd ///M wheel badge? I’d get that changed. Apart from that, it looks very clean and tidy.

Nice, what is it? The 20i or the 28i? :?
Rob

Just revisiting this website in ages and saw your question. It is a 28i. I will be taking the car in for some very slight paint correction, followed by full frontal XPEL PPF followed by XPEL ceramic coating. I just had my Lexus GS450h treated to this as well as tint and interior protection and it is outstanding and worth it if you tend to keep your vehicles as long as we do. These new films are simply out of this world now. I'll get some new photos of it after it's done.

Welcome back :poke: :rofl:

Hopefully won't be so long until he next visit???

Look forward to the updated photos.
 
Looks fab in the sunshine there..enjoy… :thumbsup: is the roof not working? Seems stuck in the up position? :rofl:

Actually, we were on the way back and my wife had the boot loaded up from shopping. :D

Splendid..we’ll forgive you then… :thumbsup: :rofl:
 
I had a Valencia Orange Z4 at one time, great colour which changes as the sun catches it at different angles. Loved it!

Enjoy! :D
