Fitted new rear number plate lights unit.

Have had the light on on my ZT for about a month and not done anything about it as it seemed to be running alright and no loss of power or mpg. Finally decided I needed to sort it out so ordered a code reader of Amazon. Parcel due to arrive this afternoon and so, the last time I started the car this morning the light cleared all by itself and hasn't come on again. I will get to use my code reader sometime!

Think your ZT is being cheeky

Fixed the wonky sun visor.
Replaced the interior lights fuse.
Polished the headlights.

I only just got this car and I never really feel like I own them until I've worked on them. It's starting to feel like mine now

Took her in on Mon to have the rear bumper resprayed as the previous owner really should have had parking sensors fitted as you can see.. was also scabby on the corners with lacquer peeling where it had some minor nerfs at some point in it's life.

Picked her up today and i'm a bit chuffed with the guys work. Charged me £100 to spray the complete bumper and i think he's done a great job although he did come highly recommended. He's just north of Norwich and if anyone wants his contact details give me a shout.
Nice birthday pressie from me to me

Spent an hour polishing my headlights, tried another members advise to use Autosol chrome polish. Well it worked, I was well surprised, my headlights were very fogged over, couldn't really see the bulbs. I worked up a sweat and polished in small circles by hand. The end result with buffing up is crystal clear headlights. I did use some autoglym resin polish to really get them sparkling again and give the plastic some protection. Well worth the effort.

This is how it starts

First a boot badge, then a little something else

Next you'll be looking at other cars to see what else you can do

Slippery slope old chap

The ZT proudly announced this evening that it "had an idea"...............five minutes later and one H7 fitted to the N/S dipped beam, the poor lad had forgotten what it was
