Aerial runs up nicely around and behind the plastic in the passenger footwells, then up behind the plastic cover inside the screen before emerging and sticking on the glass. All very subtle and hopefully understated.

So my dent guy has just spent 3 hours using what I can only assume is black magic to fix and remedy the various dents my Zed came to me with. Multiple dings on the doors, bonnet and boot - all now a memory.
Also the weird, huge crease style dent that at least two local bodyshops told me was impossible to fix without respray - also sorted (before and after photos below, plus an obligatory beauty shot (yes, I need centre caps!)).
Today has been a good day

Truely Magic from the dark side.
Looks great. Do they charge by the dent or for their time? I have three little dents (no damaged paint) to sort soon.
Entire job, although I did tell them roughly what they were letting themselves in for beforehand! If you have three small dents, then a standard PDR firm should be able to handle easily enough.Looks great. Do they charge by the dent or for their time?

Thanks Martin. Still upset I sold the MC, but this project is keeping me busy!
Drove back to Suffolk this evening. My first proper, longer haul drive in her since purchasing.
Got to say it was great fun on the M11 and then gradually taking smaller and smaller roads to reach my destination. Realised that even with the 2.8 engine, I had gotten used to the extra 100+ hp my old coupe provided Def need to try and stiffen the chassis up a bit too. Not crazy, but I miss the extra planted feel a roof provides. Loving the experience though and brought back memories of my first Zed.
A few pics at sundown in the Suffolk countryside.

Still waiting for my Demon Tweeks supplied Bilstein's. Typically lengthy order-to-delivery timescale and hoping to get them by August.
In the meantime I've been loving the car, this weekend taking my eldest on a camping trip back to Suffolk with the Zed fully loaded up! Phots taken before the car was parked under a tree and slowly covered in tree sap.

Looking good. Have you considered some spacers on the rear, perhaps 10 or 15mm?
I may well add those to the list. Going to see what the 30mm drop looks like first and go from there.Looking good. Have you considered some spacers on the rear, perhaps 10 or 15mm?
You can do 20mm spacers on the rear. I did, and 14mm on the front.

Tony.
So 7mm x 2 on front and 10mm x 2 on rear?
Any recommendations on where to get front and rear spacers from? Seen the Eibach ones on cartech website but only 5mm at the smaller size.
