Red & Black

[DGZS]

Thought i'd start one of these as I plan to do a few bits as & when money is availavle. Hope the pics come out ok, not used imageshack before!

Got the car in April and it started life like this




First thing was DMB Badges






Latest additions are Eibach Springs, Black ST170 Alloys & red calipers






Feel free to leave comments and anything you think would look good, got a list of stuff in my head that i'd like to do.

Very nice mate! I seen this on ZSOC.com. I have a Colorado red too, Imo its the best colour.

Looking amazing.
Out of curiosity, how much do the ST170's normally go for? Really tempted by them now you have them on!! Also, what's the size/offset etc?

[Ben...]

Looks great!

Yeah really glad I got a red one now, was so close to getting a white one, but theres so many white ones about and the red one came along at the right price!

The ST170 wheels arent cheap, think new you're looking at £150 a rim minimum, got mine off ebay for between £50-£75, didnt matter if they were kerbed as was always gonna do them black. There 7jx17, pcd 4x108 and without looking think et49, they need 205/40/17 tyres, which means a bit of a stretch, but better than the speedo being out. Could do with some spacers on the rears as they sit in a bit but think the normal zs 17's do to.

Do they fit straight on to the car then, without any problems scrubbing when on full lock etc?
About the same price (more or less) as the streetpacks, made this decision even harder!
I'll have to ponder this matter alot now.

Yeah go no probs, its lowered aswell. Think there exactly same size as the streerpack wheels just the offset is slightly different.

I think i'll have to be unimaginative and steal your idea! (Sorry!!)
Really like the look of them in black and also when it's lowered, the stance is awesome.
I'm going for a silver/black theme so would fit in well imo
I want the SWR kit aswell since you got it on, looks so good, not that big a fan of the fogs on the ZS, but the SWR kit is like £1200

Also, imo anyways, get your rear windows tinted, wrap your roof and mirrors in gloss black, and it would make everyone who looked at it instantly cream in there pants!

Thats not a problem, I was first afterall!lol Yeah silver and black will look good and bodykits are never cheap, did it on my focus!

Was planning to do rear windows with a light tint. Want to do the grilles, fogs and rear diffuser gloss black before I move on to bigger things like the roof.
