What have you done to your car today?

I really like this Zed. 8) Just a bit too much carbon look for me in the foot well though. :wink:

Yeah I figured it'd be a bit overkill for some... less of the carbon 'look' though it's all real carbon! :lol:

I just noticed the dog's been jumping all over my leather dash in that photo

Real Carbon looks like Carbon to me. 8) :wink:

New front tires; feels more planted now, old ones had funny wear. The bad news; crack in one bead. Doesn't seem to leak, but I suppose I'll have to fix it one of these days.

My windshield cowl came today, with clips. Will post pics of removal of old and install on Sunday. Going to be happy to see that broken, chipped out, weather worn eye sore gone.

Youve made a fair amount of changes to that interior now Jay. My favourite is the silver steering wheel trims, I think they look much nicer than the black they came with. Did you paint them yourself?

I love the new pedals Jay
Did the footrest come with them? and was it a perfect fit? I bought one off eBay but it’s far too big and overlaps the original footrest
I really like the way your transforming your Zed

Thanks Ben, pick up my Royals wheel, fitting e46 msport seats and having vanos seals done this week.

Not very exciting but had to have a new starter motor fitted. It's made me realise the old one was on its way out for a while with how quickly it now starts

where do you buy this from and how easy to fit?

Yeah I agree the steering wheel looks much better, I didn't paint them myself I got DietCokeMan from the forum to do them. He got a great finish on them, and I had the wheel retrimmed in Germany.

The rest of the interior is a bit marmite I can see some disliking it but I'm pretty happy with how it's come on. I just need to swap the door cards for some new / donated ones as that's the bit I'm not happy with.

Thanks Davros! No I ordered the footrest from here http://www.pedalhaus.com/e85rhd.html, it's the only place I've seen that make one specifically for RHD so yeah it's a perfect fit. I toyed with getting their full pedal set instead of the CF ones. I'm still not sure whether or not I picked the right option.

I cheated as was working nights and dropped of off at my local garage. 160quid fitted.
Think you can get them on eurocarparts for around 100, or less if you manage to get a discount code. The fitting looks quite straightforward, i just didnt have the time to do it.

Fitted some matte black grilles, still undecided if I prefer the original with chrome outer

Not just done today but over the last few weeks...

First off, the headlight was damaged, cracked inside, silver ring snapped and big scruff along the lens. So this was more of an experiment for me to repair this and worst case, buy a new headlight or angel lights if I couldn't. I think it worked out ok in the end but I know this is a temporary solution. Thank you to PiotrZ4 for the replacement ring!






I know there is a slight colour difference between the headlights but in person, the difference is quite minimal. I also need to give its a once over with the Autoglym headlight restorer.

Whilst the bumper was off, it gave me the chance to replace the AC condenser and also fit some W5W Cool Blue bulbs. A big difference which I am chuffed with. The simple things hey.

Next I replaced the worn gear knob for a like for like. Completely mint and another big thank you to basil the dog for providing this. Both guys being complete gents! After reading how to replace this and how I could potentially whack myself in the face, only the inevitable happened. The old (gear) knob, smacked me plum right on the forehead. I thought it would have left a mark, that's how hard it hit me :x :x




The bumper alignment with the headlight is a real bugbear, after several attempts to perfect it, I just couldn't do it. Maybe I need a professional to look at it. Maybe its the bumper, maybe the headlight, maybe its the brackets the screws go into, maybe they need a little knock so its more aligned, I don't know I'll leave it for now as I've got an MOT this Monday and a full service. I am keen on a set of chrome angel eyes but these can wait.



Happy for any comments and yes I know the car needs a clean, its off the road since end of Jan and is well overdue
