Not going to be on there long though, put these on when I got home due to thinking maybe tyres were shot on the other set after my front end "whoops" collision @ stanstead!

They came off my other ZS (summer wheels) all have Parada spec 2's on, nice grip in the dry!

Maybe for sale if anyone interested...... :pirate:

IIRC it depends how the paint was laid to the exact effect you get :) Makes each typhoon car slightly unique ;)

iPhone camera and the light, so much green in it but hard to catch!

typhoon is a really hard colour to picture, also its looks different if just dirty

the only way you can make this colour different is by using the wrong colour base coat and by how much you put on, one coat gets you a lot of green flip, 2 coats its blue and 3 coats is purple

Took all parts to bodyshop today so should have these back sometime next week

The car does look a tad "funny" with the std MG ZS front bumper (no fogs or splitter)

Front/rear bumpers
rear numberplate surround (snapped a clip on this one)
front splitter/valance
4 x door handles as one is broken and front passenger one been sprayed BADLY!!
mk1 grill (pictured) and mk2 grill
engine cover and bracket ;)
