Re: A momentous day for my Zed
Happy momentous day! :nerd: Those dials are definitely from an S50 ///MR. The S50 was the only (UK spec) model to have that logo on the dial and I'm not sure that your 2.0 would reach 155mph as the speedo suggests! The dash pod must've been swapped out at some time, and not an easy job because AFAIK...

Re: Storm Werks gearknob
IMVHO, the V2 suits the 'retro' look of the Zed better, and is only slightly less weighty than the V1.
I trialed both and went for the V2.
Either option will give a great improvement on the original in terms of the weight behind the throw....

Premium based on agreed valuation of car and annual mileage, so they're not interested in whatever mods you may have done.
