Before and after.

I cant access the gallery so here it is. We got a few little jobs done to our ZT. We replaced all the badges, sorted the wheels and resprayed the chrome trim down the sides. We also painted the callipers and put chrome tail pipes on the exhaust. Here it was before.

And this is how it looks now...

We are well chuffed. We done all the work ourselves. The clips for the trim came in at 70 pounds.

Thanx for that mark. Have to say it has grown on me.

Looking good - suits the car well I'd say

alanT · 24th April 2011, 12:40

Confused: You dechromed the car but then fitted a chrome exhaust finisher?

Banjo · 24th April 2011, 13:53

That looks great - a ZT should look slightly menacing, and there is nothing wrong with a little chrome highlight here and there.

I'm liking the painted strip, but much prefer the original wheel colour. Good job though.
