Front driver and passenger air bags. Kenwood RDS removable front stereo system with single CD player and CD changer. Remote central locking and alarm. Split folding rear seats. Electric mirrors. ABS. Locking wheel nuts. Services done at 8 and 18,000 miles by MG dealers. Offered with a clear Experian report and a comprehensive warranty. Exceptional condition. Non smoker car.

Phoned the guy tonight and he seems a really nice guy. I'm emailing him pictures of my car as he is very interested in a trade in :bounce:

Ross, Your HID kit will fit and I'll re-home them for you, as for the Blue Alcantara seats, they are actually Blue Axis/Leather not Alcantara.

Nice motor matey, hope you get it!

If i didn't have a black one i'd definately pick the ignition blue. Looks so nice. Think it's the richness of the colour.

cheers for the comments guys. I love IB so it was one of the conditions for the ZS that it had to be the same colour as my ZR

I'm just awaiting a reply from the garage about my car... if I've not heard by 10 I'm going to phone again

I will be getting the Xtreame spoiler for it, but it won't be modded much. I'll fit my wheels, my ICE and probably lower it.

Kev thanks for the offer, I'll let you know when mine is going so we car remove the HID's from the ZR.

Stripping the ZR is going to be fun, I've got to return it almost to standard lol

I wondered what they were off I thought from the small pic they looked a bit like the Megan F1 wheels I had seen.

I am a fan of black wheels and think they look good on the pic but would have to see them in the flesh (so to speak).
