4 Dents I want the dent doctor to look at but nothing major.
Deeply loving this motor right now.
Sorry for poor camera phone shots

Nice looking motor!

If your car was a year earlier it would have been impossible to find matching rear headrests. There was a fire in the warehouse and all the fabric used for the early Monaco seats was destroyed, which is why the fabric is different on 03 onwards cars. The early type Monaco material has coloured flecks in it.

BTW we still have a few of the XPower flags left ;)

Hey you're right just looked through the sales brochure for 2002 and the blue monaco seats should have blue and yellow flecks in the material of the seats.
One thing bugs me when people advertise the Matrix seats as being 'half leather', as they aren't. We have them in the ZR and you can tell.

Looking good. I find something lacking in the MKI over the MKII - i'm not sure what it is though...

Yeah I feel the same about the indicators. Where and how much? Still made even? I think the MK1 was slightly purer and less fussy but love both really. Got some mods planned but nothing major as I like the lines as they are.

You'll need complete Rover 45 front light assemblies, these come with clear lenses, not separate. Only the ZS had amber to make it different!

You can modify your existing units to remove the orange lens... an easy job if your handy with that sort of thing :)

There is a tutorial here - http://homepage.ntlworld.ie/technozen/tutorial/mk3_200_orange.zip

Its for the Rover 200 but the same principle for the ZS lights :)

Don't heat too much as the plastic does melt!

Once you got both parts of the light seperate, you can just reach in and the orange lens pops out. You will need to get some orange indicator bulbs to replace your old ones as they will end up emitting a white light which is illegal.

If you need a spare set of MK1 headlights let me know... ;)
