[QUOTE="devil9, post: 658510, member: 20998"] 28 Jan'13... After close to 2mths, it's finally back. 2weeks before handover [ATTACH=CONFIG]27897[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27898[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27899[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27900[/ATTACH] Yes, fortunately or unfortunately i have decided to retain white colour. A week before handover [ATTACH=CONFIG]27896[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27901[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27902[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27903[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27904[/ATTACH] Calipers. Front calipers (upgraded) will be installed at later date. For now, will make do with yellow rear calipers. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27910[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27911[/ATTACH] D-day with new headlamps, foglights & signal (except passenger side which is awaiting stock arrival) [ATTACH=CONFIG]27908[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27909[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27912[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27913[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27914[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27915[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27907[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27906[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27905[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]27916[/ATTACH] While paint job is pretty good, i cant say the same for the installation of electrical components. While awaiting to be driven away, engine sounded like motor boat and whole car was vibrating vigorously!!! Hence decided to head straight to my mechanic for troubleshooting. A konk ignition coil the culprit. Had it replaced. Besides engine, power windows not working properly and installation of front bumper etc not properly aligned.Though they have tried aligning, i decided not to push any further. Will be addressing all these with my usual mechanic in coming weekend. I've learnt not any conti/normal mechanics can really dismantle and assemble citroen zx well without breaking clips etc or understand the right mechanism. Coupled with aging plastic clips etc, it's highly advisable to be done only by citroen zx specialists will handle with care. Lesson well learnt!!!
