    I call dibs on the wing when the time comes....

    When you want to sell the wing, assuming you can get it off in one piece un damaged... how about I buy a Z toy 2+2 stock fibreglass copy and swap you for yours? pm me if your keen

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    I put mine here:

    Black electrical tape on the top, magnet sticking to the metal strip between the bumper and the lights on the bottom. In plain sight so you don't get booked. If you want to be one of those tossers that hides as much of their plate as possible you may as well not even put one there. Hell, if you hide half your plate you can get pulled over for it, if you don't have one there they won't know you need one.

    Keep the wheels.

    edit: not trying to be one of those plate-hiding tossers on the front, using it as a splash guard lol

    Hehe Anti, your back one is overly visible and your front is a little hidden(so it seems from the sig pic) ;) :p

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    Yeah I know lol, the front was just as visable 'til I put the new front/pod on and realized it could serve a purpose heh

    thanks for the comments guys, agreed i think i might keep the wing...... cheers tektrader i never new that as for yours the red looks nice rims suit it real well

    as for the rims they have to go but yehh black on black looks good new rims might have to be black with a chrome lip, something along those lines.

    anti thats pritty good idea it did cross my mind but people can still take it i dunno about where you live but hear anything on the out side of your car goes missing real quick even being if its a P plate lol.

    murci black on black looks nice real head turner hey, black rims would look awesome on your zed!

    as for the cruise i would love to come but im in Mackay if it wasn't such a big drive there i would go, maybe next time if i can get time off work.

    pods

    does any one else have trouble with pod air filters and wet weather :rolleyes: my zed sat out in the rain the other night :eek: I know I know, I couldn't sleep properly knowing she was out there :zlove:.
    started it the next morning and it seemed fine as I drove for abit pulling up at a set of lights it started to surge only when idling when driving it was fine had abit of hesitation but nothing serous straight away i knew it was the air filter being right at the front open to a big dirty puddle of water! whats the best way to get it high and dry.

    Splash guard. I drove my zed in heavy rain the other day (I know I know, don't worry I gave her a good detail to make up for it) and she ran perfect with the cold air intake with the splash ghuard in place. I wouldn't risk no splash guard though especially with how low my pod is (near the bottom rad intake).

    no low beam :confused: right side pod as i turn it on to low beam high beam comes straight on tryed flicking the indicator stick back and forth but no luck usally the wheel clicks twice and low beam comes on with the interior speed o gauges ect and then for hight beam you flick the indicator stick.
    have been tinkering with the switches all i can get is foggies and high beam no low beam and no interior lights :rolleyes:
