Well after a late flurry of mods I think this will be the way the ZS stays for a while. Char is away to start uni so will be skint for 3 years.

Here is what i have done to date....


Front Fog Lights
BMC Induction Kit
Black Lexus Rear Lights
Twin 6x4 Oval Exhausts
Twin Heatshields
18" RS GT Alloy wheels
MG TF Illuminated Interior Mirror
MG TF Leather Steering Wheel
Ipod Player
Seat Leon Cupra front splitter
Rear fitted headrests
MG SV Chrome front badge
MG ZS mk1 smoked side repeaters
Front and Rear Sunstrips
Site Stickers
52mm Throttle Body
Twin cold air feed pipes and alloy trumpets
Xpower Green Calipers
Upgraded rear speakers


So today I fitted the other cold air feed and gave her a good wash and dry. Really love this car...

Rear bumper clips, I have them Sammy, what I need from you is to get some M6 stainless steel penny washers, and I'll try and remember to get M6 Nylon Lock Nuts and M6 Stainless steel Screws.

looking very smart there, I've never been keen on the rear lamps but overall on yours with the other mods they do look right, and with the twin ports on the front it looks even more aggresive looking :guns: ;)

They should.... they are just a large washer (about 2-2½cm across) with an M6 hole in them.

From the pictures the wheels look pretty good to me. I'm considering getting mine refurbed and powder coated, still not sure on finish as yet.

Got me thinking now :D considered white, but worried about brakedust discolouring it. Also like the black chrome effect, but need to find out the process involved first, sounds expensive.
