Hi fellow Z owners. After a year of four pot roadster ownership I've given in to temptation and am the owner of a coupe! manual SE in carbon black with all except the m sport extras (except the stubby which was very swiftly screwed in there). 18" mv2s in need of a refurb and all the other signs of 110,000 miles on the road, but she's mine and got everything I'll need until little humans come!
I'm up for some meets and drives, as well as future advice on mods and maintenance of course, and it's a pleasure to be a member at last!

Welcome to the Forum. Your Zed looks great. Are your MV2's in gloss black?

Hi and welcome. Nice looking car.

Even I would consider a coupe if I thought that I could get our dog in it, but she fills the rear of the Discovery!

Enjoy! :driving:

Welcome, Great choice! Coupe is a great car if there's no kids or second car in the equation. Bought mine on 115k, now on 149k. Good move on the stubby. If a guy called Firebobby tries to talk you into putting an old whippy aerial back just tell him where to go.

Yeh bold move, but my insurance was running out and just had an mot, so perfect time to sell up and move on to another! The new no claims discount made the coupe affordable. Based just out of Swindon

Yes, gloss black mv2s, looking pretty shoddy all round so they'll soon be in for a refurb, maybe a colour change Or a change up to something less e46y, but I haven't made up my mind with what yet!

Welcome to coupedom ! Good choice (except for the stubby, the whippy helps with high speed stability).

I would recommend Style 32 wheels
