Good choice Bill, not noticed or seen those wheels before 
. Not too much brightwork so the black shows it off to real nice effect.

Today i get my seats re-done. Keeping them the same colour but they are looking a little shabby now.
How they look now
Will post after pics up when the job is done and what sort of job they have made

Leather man has arrived and masked off.
Took about an hour and then about 30 mins colour matching.

Seats now all redyed.

Makes a big difference to the Zed having the seats redone. Now it looks a decent motor again

Have booked the Zed in for a much needed full respray on Saturday. Getting it done at Custom Paintwerx in Derby
They are doing me a swatch so i can let them know if there is either too much or not enough Red fleck so they can get it just right, also told me they would try and get an additional coat of lacquer on so that i can DA Polish in the future. @Sean d (is this possible or are they talking bull s***) Undecided whether to get a coating put on or just use the Swissvax Canuba.
Lets hope these do a good job as it is not cheap
So before it goes in i am revitalising the roof with renovo so as i do not get it on the fresh paint. Just done the first scrub and will see how it looks when it has dried to see if i need to colour which i will do tomorrow night.

They can put extra laqueur on mate, normally 2 coats, the only down side to bulking it is cure time but if they bake it there shouldn't be anything to worry about, I don't see why they said" they would try" to put an extra coat on, if you requested it and they have given you a price then it should have plenty on it,
Ask them what brand Laqueur they are using, there is a massive gap in top and bottom end Laqueurs, some are hundreds per litre and some a £30 a litre, the top end ones are too pricey for general body shops and are demanded by insurance companies
