[CourtneyyJamess]

[stamford]

so get someone else to do it. to be honest it takes skill and know how to bring paint work up like that I couldn't do it.

No But I Doo :) Its My Job :whistle:

[WalkerDnB]

to save starting a new thread I thought Id ask here
How much should I be paying for a set of zs phase 2 alloys?

Phase 2 alloys? Do you mean the 11 spokes? If so I paid a smidge over £200 for a set 3 years ago that were badly curbed (for a car 4 cars ago)... probably closer to £400 for a decent set...

[WalkerDnB]

thanks for the reply :) yeah 11 spokes
will keep my eye out for some then.

[WalkerDnB]

quick question just about to by a oil catch tank
do I need 9mm fuel line pipe and is there anything else I should know?

[andys1981]

it was 9mm i used in my last 180,ive heard folk using 10mm though

[WalkerDnB]

Thanks mate :) Looks like its just as cheep at hellfrauds as ebay so ill get it there :)

[DuckFeet]

Is that anthracite or that navy blue-ish one that is a lot rarer? Looks good though.

5-spokes really suit that colour *COUGH* :)

[WalkerDnB]

I think the blue is quite rare I haven't seen many about
I could be wrong though

[WalkerDnB]

Got abit bored today so though I'd go on a little cruze to longbridge
bit sad that its pretty much all gone now :/
while I was there I thought I might as well get a photo :)

[Smokey]

It does look good. I'd get some while bulbs though to brighten things up (so to speak lol)

[WalkerDnB]

they are white bulbs (cheep ones though) they haven't showed up very bright in the pics probably because it wasn't that dark.

[Smokey]

Ah, got you.Still a great shot :)

[WalkerDnB]

Anyone know what size centre cap is needed for the zs mk2 11 spoke alloys
I forgot to measure them before I sent them away lol

[WalkerDnB]

anyone? Pleaseeeee

[POMPSKI]

I know the size of the badge insert - 45mm

Cant remember the whole cap size though, 59mm rings a bell.

[john180]

That shine looks amazing!!! very tidy motor!! :)

[WalkerDnB]

Thanks few things should be done soon
got the parts just not fitted yet

[Steven11]

Lovely car you have there. Use to be a valeter and found dark colours much harder to maintain. Hope your up for the challenge.

[WalkerDnB]

Yeah my other cars black aswell bit of a nightmare lol

[Steven11]

Worth every minute though :smile1:

[WalkerDnB]

Anyone tell me what exactly I would need to put rear headrests into my car I know the ZR ones fit but what else do i need?

[petet16]

You need the escutcheons which fit to the top of the rear seat back rest, the holes on the seat frame are already there under the cover.

[WalkerDnB]

thanks mate :) can I take them out of a zs rear or front zr seat?

[petet16]

Number 5 & 6
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID003671

[petet16]

These are seats that use the same fitting

http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-HJQ100410PMA

[WalkerDnB]

awesome thanks mate:)

[big_wasa]

The rears from most rovers fit and very easy to remove in the scrapie. Its just a quater of a turn,

[big_wasa]

I may even have a set in gray. I will have a butchers tomorrow.

[WalkerDnB]

cool mate if not ill pop down the scrappy :D

[kev mocko]

Ive just got a set of head rests too for the rears,i could feel the holders there but for the life of me i couldnt get them out,as i didnt know they turned,i will now be going back the scrappy to try again,does it matter if its the front or rear seats to try this on? cheers

[big_wasa]

yeh rears fronts are differant. just press down and turn, then lift out.

[WalkerDnB]

Fitted my induction kit today Im loving the induction roar :D seems to breath alot better now its made a noticable difference from the rubbish pipercross one I had on before.
I only just managed to get the filter to fit lol

[Craig-ZS180]

Looking good there Matt.! Good job buddy, does transform the way the car drives doesn't it. Looks very neat too, well done :D

[WalkerDnB]

thanks :) cant believe the difference its made Its the best thing Ive done to the car!
also well worth buying a Ramair filter whilst there only £40 new ;)

[WalkerDnB]
