I like that, the CSL style wheels look great on a Zed.

Clear headlights would be my only recommendation..... oh and lots of driving it!

I've got clear repeaters and one clear tail light but I quite like the amber! The car still needs a thorough clean as it was caked in moss when picked up although the hood and body work appear to be in great nick! Just waiting for the sun to make an appearance, haha!

I agree with the lots if driving, my last car was a Honda jazz. Slight change :shock:

Thank you :)

It's got a pretty crazy colour interior, was this an option or is it a special edition? I have very limited BMW knowledge and can't find info/pics anywhere!

Hi and welcome to the forum / madhouse.

The Zed looks very nice and nice to see another blue interior - not many of us about.

Welcome to the forum. The rain started when I taxed my car and put it back on the road for the 'summer' so It's me to blame :head:

You have more blue than me! I've just got the seats and centre console, the rest is black. I'm hoping the weather will improve over the next few days so I can get some decent pics. I've got a few bits and pieces to fit too!

Money dependent I think! Just graduated from uni so in the process of trying to get a full time job (so I can afford my soaring fuel bills, haha!)

Lovely looking car you have there, nice colour combo, hope you get some top down weather soon, if it won't stop raining 40mph + and it goes over the top of you :D
