Owned my zed for just over a year now and still loving it! :thumbsup:

Few minor upgrades since purchasing;

- wind deflector
- roll hoops painted Ford panther black
- carbon fibre mirror covers
- carbon fibre front splitter
- carbon bmw roundels
- front bumper painted and smoothed number plate holes (damn dealerships)
- kidney grills and lower grills painted gloss black
- gel rear plate, static peal front plate
- wheels refurbed and powder coated metallic silver with carbon centre caps
- Remapped to 260bhp
- k&n panel filter

Don't see that many near, anyone local near me? Any meets that occur id be interested in attending

Thanks

Great looking Zed Shaun, I'm just down the Road in Swansea, I'd be interested in attending a meet, did see a convoy of Zeds heading through the Gower back last summer and really wanted to tag along ! Did you rebadge yourself? I'm looking to do similar but fretting about damaging the paintwork !

Was done at performance engineering, Cardiff.

Nate knows his stuff, completely transformed the car to what it should be from factory. Much more responsive and power is there almost instantly

They have a Facebook and Instagram page

Not too far from me! Would be great to sort a little meet just get a few together on a rare dry day haha

I debadged the sides and bootlid, very easy with a hairdryer and a card (clubcard etc) then tar/glue remover to wipe away what's left behind. No damage caused and is so much nicer without!

Thanks for the welcome! Splitter does transform the front end, although it's carbon looks a lot better in person.. especially in the sun!

Beading looks great on your car OP. :thumbsup:

If you have some spare time there is a thread somewhere dedicated to beading!
