View Full Version : Couple of one-off touches to the ZR

With the Rover getting all of my recent attention, it's a while since I've done anything crazy to the ZR, so thought I'd retrim the manifold heat shield and intercooler pipework in some luscious red leather (the latter was already done, but was rather worse for wear). I then thought about retrimming the plug cover to match, however I couldn't find it, so I came up with an alternative cover idea:

Doubt it'll be a permanent addition (not sure how the plastic will hold up against the heat), however it might be fun at shows :D

Excuse the lack of belt cover, was meant to be changing the oil pump seal and timing belt today, however I kinda got sidetracked :clown:

*EDIT* Just HAD to do it to the Rover, too, especially with the track matching the colour scheme! :laugh:

What you smoking mate ?
Some brilliant and fresh ideas. your either a mad genuis or Total space cadet
think it would suit the Slowver better though. But I do like it.

Nowhere to put it in the Slowver :( Plus I like the fact that the Slowver is crazy with a surprising engine bay, and that the ZR is clean with a crazy bay :clown:

Kept the silliness for the 25, and added some more to the ZR. Firstly, I retrimmed the plug cover in moar moar sumptuous red leather to match the intercooler pipework and turbo heat shield. Also, ABS cover was ugly. Now it's Scottish.
