Mg zs mk1.5

[MG 53 ZED]

Hi all just thought i would put up some pics of my MK1 ZS converted to a MK2 ZS. Front bumper has some LED lights and headlight washer system (although the washer system is not working at the moment). Going to have to replace the drivers headlight aswell as this has some bad condensation in it. LED lights are wired into the parking lights (which are also LED's). Shark grill is sprayed black along with the front spilitter. Side indicators have been tinted aswell. She's getting there slowly Lol.

Looks fantastic, would never have thought it was a MK1.

Just one question.

Where did you get the grill badges from?

Have you got a link to where you got them from, as i have friends who also like them.

Cheers
Dave

Cheers Dave i got the badges of ebay here is a link. You may have to slightly file the edges as it was an extremely tight fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Enamel-Black-and-Chrome-MG-BADGE-MGB-ZR-ZS-ZT-59mm-/370707643059?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item564fe5bab3

I'd probs go with the second set offered at £350 or best offer as they come with the ZZ3 tyres too .....

So I've got to ask then - are they a straight swap up front - wings, bonnet and lights then, or is there some machining required ?

IIRC is a straight swap as long as you have the mk2 front plastic cross member as the mk2 light clusters foul the mk1 cross member. Pretty sure it can be notched out if you do go down that route.

[Enright]

When I got my Mk2 it had no front bumper on, or the plastic crash-bar that goes behind it.
The only bar I could find was a Mk1 one, and there were 2 lugs on the back of the Mk2 bumper that fouled on the bar. However the problem was easily fixed by drilling 2 slots in the bar.
I can't remember the lights interfering with it at all, and it's never caused me a problem since.
Hope that helps.

Not many red mk2 hatches out there ..... :hmm:
