I bought some new wheels and wanted to show them off, so I finally made an account after a quite a bit of lurking.
I have a black 2010, CVT, RHD, Japanese import that I bought with 136,000km on it (~85,000mi). Frame number is ZF1-1003146, but I don't know how to interpret that.
It's been modified by a previous owner; in fact, it was the "cheap" mods, the illuminated door sills and puddle lights that I fell in love with.
In the 3 months I've had it, i've added to the above list:

I'm currently rebuilding the front grill after destroying it and bending the bumper out of shape; Rainy day, 3 cars rear-ended each other in front of me, I made it 4. I had cheap tires on it from the dealer at that time and aquaplaned into the back of that mess. Hard enough to run my plastic and front beam but fortunately everything else is unscathed. I'll do a build thread and link to it here when my parts arrive. For now, the grill is a chicken wire placeholder.

Here's the dog helping take the centre console out to be painted. I've experimented with yellow panel gap trim, but will be taking it out to trim with red instead.

I'm in New Zealand, which due to it's favourable importing laws, gets all the 10 year old Japanese cast-offs. I'm starting to see quite a few more CR-Z's around here as they get imported in. Something playing in their favour is, over here, they're one of the cheapest 2ndhand coupe's you can get with <100,000km on the clock.
