Thats me had the ZS a year next week. Time certainly does go by very quickly when your having so much fun.

I thought id start a little thread on whats happened over that year, which is alot!

Started with Gunsmoke alcantara, elec front windows, parking sensors and Air con. It didnt have the bodykit and 11 spoke alloys

Slowly since then i have added the extreme spoiler, 11 Spoke alloys, Mk1 180 skirts, Blue Monaco interior, Rally Mudflaps, Xpower Exhaust, Front fogs, Black magic rear lights, LED Side lights, Sony CD Player, Shorter Aerial, Genuine ZS floor mats. So pretty much all i wanted to do.

Had a think earlier on in the month and thought what else i could do? Nothing on the outside but what about the inside... Hmmmmm Aaah haa! How about some more colour to go with the seats? Went onto the 75/ZT website and found a guy who covered his Dash in his 260 in Suede material. Looked reaaly well so i thought why not!, bought some material, took my dash bits out, got some mk1 door cards and took the grey pannel from them and covered it all in Blue Suede.

Want to see what it looks like? I will not be held responsible for any mess that may appear!:whistle:

I have ordered the chrome rings for round the heater dials to clean the edge up, Overall im very chuffed that i managed to do it MYSELF with no experience doing anything like this before.

Now to make it look even more awsome, would be those blue alcantara seats i had!, why did i ever sell them :( Was nice to have the £450 in my pocket though.

Heres the overall car atm.
