Looks very smart

Does look like you've reversed the zed into the kitchen though
Redzed coupe gone but not forgotten :? , Lotus Evora providing the smiles now :driving:

Awesome job. I think the Zed looks so much better with Quads.

Monkey Mat is the man and his workmanship is top quality. :thumbsup:

I have a very similar system in the garage waiting for me to fit, straight from Monkey Manufacturing Ltd :D

I need to send you another rubber mounting block and bracket we used 2 and it makes the second back box much more stable.

Makes such a difference. Love the look of the quad.

Is it just me or are the new tailpipes at a totally different angle/position to the originals?
