Loving the mk2 in black :thumbsup:

Anymore???

[talkingcars]

Loving the mk2 in black :thumbsup:

Anymore???

The only colour I'd consider for a MK2.......

Externally the only changes I have made are to tint the front indicators, rear lights, fit a towbar (swan neck) and groved discs with yellow stuff pads, aero wipers and citreon jets.

The P/O fitted a slightly larger exhaust, apparently when they bought the car new.

The only externally visable mod I am considering is darker tints.

Most of my changes are less visable, better sound system, rear electrics, heated seats, scan gauge, DAB, Avon ZZ3s, sheddit.

To come is a BMC CDA, possibly battery to boot and possibly a sports cat or decat, catch tank and remap.

There is no need to do more, the saloon comes with the extreme spoiler that all you hatch owners have to fit ;) , I save all the serious modifying for the red one.

[Dan1971]

Well .... Nothing too extreme really. Just a few subtle changes really.

Obviously not standard anyway when I got it, yellow fogs and black mesh on the bonnet and valance grills. "Interceptor" and non standard MG badges front and rear. The bonnet was also on "lifters" and they HAD to go ! Oh ... And a big dent in the driver's door.

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii58/danlaualex/Download18thJulyNewMGOthers013.jpg

Front back to standard with a good T-Cut by removing the yellow film on the fogs and replacing the black mesh with standard silver. Couple of Union Jack/Chequered flags and standard MG badges on the front and rear. Dent guy to get it sorted.

got a decat and other bits as in the sig, so as I've got the catch tank to get fitted, I'll be pretty much done ! Oh ... And my hashed up Kei force 10's with the Halford's spray job !!!!

That is a huge improvement mate. Not really appreciated under bonnet mods but that really looks good ... Really nice.... :thumbsup:

Have you done that Adam ? It wasn't standard when you got it was it ?

[afcbadam]

no when i got it there were some engine mods, i have changed most of it now though.

i have fitted a front mount intercooler, bailey dump valve, new turbo back exhaust system, new boost pipe and top hat, boost gauge, new dash board, new suspension, its all decatted and i had the wheels refurbed and re-painted standard silver as they were black.

been really busy really,

[stamford]

A simple 'yes' would suffice :laugh:

[afcbadam]

i do and i dont, the zs is a better handling car than the astra so i miss that but the speed the astra gets up the road makes up for it.

if i can find a really cheap 180 id snap it up and use it as a track toy.

Yer its in the first post :) Mine was a MK1 but dont think theres any difference between the ride height of the MK1 and 2

[Jem]

Silly me yea as its your post:slap:

Yours looks smart that way.

Ive had some people who seen my car and they have said it looks lower than others,I cant see why it would be lower unless it was a friday job or monday morning...

[gsinclairzs]

Yer its in the first post :) Mine was a MK1 but dont think theres any difference between the ride height of the MK1 and 2

Mk 2's actually sit higher than mk 1's, however it's only the springs that are different, so if you lower both a mk 1 and mk 2 with moto's they will sit the same.

and thats pretty much as it stands now:bounce:

[gsinclairzs]

I thought all 180's had the kit (skirts & splitter) as standard?

[Steves Cleenz]

for some reason this never had side skirts

[Andyf]

This is mine as I got it

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/61/l_da92f5908a8a92bc627ce26a86544ef3.jpg

Then I got the extreme spoiler

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/92/l_052ab68689c12296e16704cf79fec1d2.jpg

Then removed the 180 badges (as it is a 120) and replaced them with some ZS ones

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/81/l_3b74db6fc02af7507f6387a2158bc40e.jpg

Then I fitted some metal kick plates

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/81/l_2467310c28a847f384f10c3b808da3f1.jpg

And finally a Janspeed exhaust

Looks a lot better with the spoiler.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[Jem]

Agreed spoiler makes it look alot nicer,I think that red really stands out.

[Andyf]

Thanks, I had to wait a while to get it (apparently paying for my wedding was more important!) It is my favourite mod by far. Jem, that splitter looked really good as others have said I didn't think it suited the MK2 that well but seeing yours has got me thinking....

[Jem]

Yea the splitter really did look good in the flesh especially from a distance,I think it was a good little cheap mod,I would of been more gutted if it cost a bit to put on but as it didn't cost to much it wasn't much of a sad feeling when i had to take it off.

At least i took some pictures.

[Squeaks]

Day after I got it.

I know this is July '03, oddly not got any good pics of it with original plate.
http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x88/Gary_6315/originalZS2.jpg

Not sure when this is from, possibly not long after above pic, only mods were ZS badges below side repeaters, mudflaps and rear headrests.
http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x88/Gary_6315/bareboring2.jpg

Yesterday, almost everywhere on the car has something modded / changed, too much to photograph really, big interior change is MkII 45 leather seats in place of "lovely" blue / yellow matrix :sick::ohmy:

Its final days....

I know this is an old thread but i was just looking at some of the things people have done to there Zed's over the years and couldnt help but notice your steering wheel Smokey, wondered how you managed to get the silver inserts in it. Kinda reminds me of the old Vecrta Gsi steering wheels, looks great. Did you buy it like that or is it a mod ?

[petet16]

It might be a MGF or TF wheel, I think they came with coloured inserts.

[stamford]

Reckon mine needs another update!

[Steven11]

It doesnt look like its made of fabric. Looks more like plastic, similar to the old Vectra Gsi or Audi RS4 with the flat bottom steering wheel.

[Ant_ZS180]
