A productive weekend with the 105

[LukeZS96]

Results of a busy weekend with the ZS. Treated her to a much needed oil, filter and plugs change, washed and polished it
Pics: although the camera quality on my phone is awful

Have to say XPG really looks well when the sun catches it. There is a few scuffs and stone chips and the wheels could do with a refurb but what do you expect for a 10 year old daily driver with 213K kms

Nice one, bet you can't wait to get rid of those stickers in the windows.

[LukeZS96]

I can't, but over here when you pass your test you have to put up N plates for 2 years

Looking good with 200+ km :)

Anther XPG brother!
They really do look awesome shined up!

Looking good with 200+ km :)
It has held up well for the age of the car but it is starting to show signs of wear and tear. The flare on the back doors are that badly chipped the primer has started to show through and the lacquer on the rear bumper is cracked and the front of the car is very badly stone chipped but nothing that cant be fixed with a few rattle cans really :)

Looking good, bet a lot of the modern ones wont look as good after 10 years!!

Very good, you would never know it's only a baby zed!

:smile2::smile2::smile2:
No they wouldn't. The Zeds are one of the few cars that have aged very well especially considering they have underpinnings from the late 90's. I highly doubt an MG6 will look as good in 10 years time :smile2:

Looks great! the ZS's have aged very well - I still say they don't look out of place on the roads these days.

[petet16]

I agree about the zs having aged well, the only thing that slightly dates them is the current style of high waist lines, which I assume are to improve ncap ratings on modern cars

[LukeZS96]

That is the only thing that shows up it's age imo. It looks a hell of a lot better than the equivalent age Golf/Focus etc.
