Needs a new front bumper and under tray plus some tidying jobs on the interior plus an all over enhancing (lights buffing etc). Will be selling the aero bits and clear rear lights etc to fund the project before selling on hopefully at break even point. Just happy to save a Z.

With Aeros I can't see how you can go wrong, but I hope it works out well done for saving a Z. :thumbsup:

How did you manage that? :o

Even with new bearing shells and a pair of Aeros I'm not quite that deep into my MC (yet)!
