Carrying on the "Vs" theme - I had an afternoon spare today after a mate cancelled a round of golf. Thought I'd save myself a few quid and give the Zed a clean instead of using the Eastern European guys down the road.

Before .....

Then thought I'd get the sticker on that I bought off Pete at the last meet. I saw it on his and though it looked pretty good. Not so sure at the moment, it looks a bit OTT on the sticker and badges front for me, and I've got a couple of chequered flag and union jack badges en route, but I'll leave it where it is for a while and see if I get used to it.

o go on then, as buckydevil said, it looked in damn good nick before u cleaned it so it looks awsome now. i love my gun metal grey but the blue looks really vibrant, i dont see many ZS around my way at all but let alone an 06 plate. It a lovely lokking car uv got. there is always something nice about washing it urself when it looks so nice when finished.

Why thank you ....

Must admit that I've not washed a car in a wee while with the EEs doing a decent job for a fiver - but times are hard !

Just spent the ?10 I've saved on washing mine and Mrs C's car on beer. Cheers ! :beer2:

Looking good Dan, sticker looks good and get the sun on it and it lights up.

Love your blue, photos doesn't give you the depth or the metallic effect, must say it surprised me when I saw it in the flesh.

NOOOOOOOO....... needs more stickers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car looks lovely Dan. Absolutely love the red calipers. Got the paint, just need to find the time to do them. I think you have just made me try to find some time now!!

Loving the mudflaps too. Where did you get them??

Are you not supposed to peel the transparent backing off the sticker?

There is something so satisfying about washing you car and really seeing results! Good job

Flaps were on there when I got it mate...not sure if "Stevelou" got them himself or they were on there already when he got it. I'd imagine that they are just from the bay of E.

As for the transparent backing. No - I hoped that it would come off, but it's all part of the sticker - unless someone wants to tell me otherwise ..... Pete ? Think yours is the same.....

Think you have left the top part of the sticker on Dan, just been and looked at mine and you only get the letters, not the square transparent look. Thats got to be peeled of carefully and it just leaves the letters.

Thats why your one stands out a bit.

I got my flaps off Ebay. They do a variety of colours, all with the MGZS logo on. WIll see if I can find them, if not just look up ZS180 and they are in the 100= pages that come up ....

I'd given up on you getting that part anyway mate - seemed like a common problem.
