So far i have done:

Lovely looking car :thumbsup:

Personally not a huge fan of the dark rear lenses but loving the wheel colour and the red leather.

That's the beauty of the Zed though, everyone can have it just how they want it!

Welcome, top choice of engine and colour :) I never like black wheels but the Anthrisite goes well with the grey, as a matter of interest I see you're in Bristol where did you get them done in the end and what sort of cost?

Another Brizzle member, welcome :) Can't say I've spotted you out and about, yet. Just seem to see loads of Zeds who are grumpy non forum folk :(

Car looks great, same as my old one:

I like the wheel colour you've gone for, get it lowered and spaced a bit I reckon :wink: Not sure about the rear lights, I prefer the clear spot / red outer ones personally but as said above its your motor! Any more mod plans, it's never ending...

Hi and welcome. Looks lovely, some nice improvements but not sure about the tinted lights though, I prefer the OEM look but that's just me :)
