Fast road Zed build!....
Thought i'd post a few pics of my zed and its progress so far. I've concentrated on chassis and handling so far as you'll see from the spec i've included below as there's really not too much around for the 3.0si in terms of power gains unless spending big money on superchargers etc, so i get my fun from the odd trackday here and there and superb road handling. Still a few things i'd like to do with her to make her into what i'd call the finished article but its slowly getting there!

one of my fave cars on the forum... such a simple yet focused build... really well done!
also that first shot reminds why i love the z4R so much, it just looks SO right when lowered with a decent rim and tyre combo, so purposeful and that shape is still one of the best designs around. This view , and angle with no roof cant be matched but the coupe imo.

Hahaha!... Cheers mate, I use one of the wife's old soft makeup brushes and various potions to get in all the nooks and crannies. Takes ages but I try to stay on top of it regularly.

The feeling I get from this car is that it’s one of those that would look just as good in the metal as is does in photo’s

Here you go mate tried to include a few where you might be able to see them better as a whole car view, not sure if you can see the carbon effect?

Very Smart sir! We've spoken on Facebook about trackdays, and tyre choices if I recall - either way, really like what you've done with the car, bet it's a hoot on track! Have you been tempted to fit an LSD? Best mod I did to my old 3.0si coupe
