Ok I've managed to get a price for the standard R45 kick plates. I can do a set of 4 with the xpower logo on the fronts, and just the stripes on the rears for £40. These will fit ZS/r45 saloons and hatches Mk'1 and mk2's. I just need to get a price for the fixing kit if anyone wants them. But it might be cheaper to get any chrome countersunk screws.

I will mention that these are brand new plates and i will remove the rover sign a put the xpower sticker on. You can still see the rover indentation after its removed but only if you hold it up to the light, which is quite hard when its fitted to your car .

So if any one is interested then let me know via pm or this thread. the above price will be + p&p

You can do me a set buddy ;) I think they look ******* fab :bow:

Have you put a for sale page on XPF??? Might want to generalise it to include the MGF/MGTF and the ZR/25 too.

I'm really sorry Bud, I'm spitting F****** feathers here mate, just ask the other half. I thought i did a good job of packing them, it was thick carboard and they was wrapped round and round in it and bubble wrap. Plus I wrote DO NOT BEND on there aswell:wall:. Will sort you another pair of fronts asap, And I'll wrap them with a strip of wood. Sorry again Bud:(

it's not your fault pal... I used to work for Royal Mail parcels so I know exaclty how rough stuff gets treated some times - that's why I always use courriers these days when possible

AFAIK they do. There was a hole drilled and a plastic insert put in (on the ZR's at least).

same on the zs, they are quite dear new, £1,45 each for the plastic inserts, and 44p each for the screws +vat. Or in my case free from a 400 in the breakers, just fell into my pocket :shifty:

I Have just been slated on zscentral for the ad that was put on ebay for 2 kickplates, Because the buyer Didn't read the ad properly, and thought these were genuine xpower kickplates. Even though it states that they have been modified. So for this reason I am NOT doing anymore, I will of course finish the ones that have been ordered and paid for. For those of you who have ordered and paid for them, You should have them with in the next 2 weeks. I'm sorry if anyone else wanted any, But I'm not prepared to give up my own time and effort in this way just to have it implied that I have conned people. This was just something I did to My car to make it a bit different. Each plate takes me about 2 hours to do which has been in the evening before I got to work, when i could be chilling out. I'm very upset by this whole affair, I never have tried to be dishonest, as with this site I have always told anyone that has asked what i did to the plates. Sorry again if you wanted some, But i'm not gunna take S*** like that off anyone.

sorry to hear that you do get some dicks in the world tho that just want to cause hassle to folk never monding that these look minted regardless of wether they are original xpower jobbies or custom made jobs

in my eyes it was a great idea that no-one has picked up on so i say big thumbs up to you for having the decencyto think about offering this original idea to other folks

arwilson80
23-02-08, 08:56 PM
I wouldn't worry what they say about the kick plates TBH. You clearly stated what they were and IMO it was their fault that they didn't read the ad properly.

I don't know what happened 'across the way'... but it's unfortunate.

You where not slated at www.Zscentral.com .:police:
The buyer just thought they where OEM.
But if you read your ad on Ebay.
It does not really say they are custom made;)
So thats why some people gets a bit confused.
No harm further.
So i feel sad you wo't make them anymore.

Just read the offending thread and I don't think you should stop because one member got a bit confused. I can see what he means though, perhaps the ebay ad could have been a bit clearer for the benifit of those not on this site or from abroad

Keep at it pal, it's such a unique product you would be mad to stop over one comment

drroberts490
24-02-08, 10:57 AM
i agree, you should consider making them still, i still think you will generate a lot of interest, really looking forward to getting mine, shame about the confusion but i'm sure everyone can forgive and forget for the sake of continuing encouraging guys like yourself who come up with ideas and then offer it to other people, if we didn't share our ideas then where would we be when modding our pride and joy, my opinion anyway

wilko66
24-02-08, 02:10 PM
Right, i feel at bit stupid, have found out that the add on ebay was missing some of the txt that the seller put on about the modifications done to the plates. The reason i thought it was clear is because I had a discussion with the seller, and we both aggreed to make it clear what had been done. Apparently when the add was done only half the txt came out, hence there is no false stop etc. So it wasn't that clear after all. To the person in question I appologise for my rant.

Dont feel stupid, i'm sure Marvon will accept your apology, you thought you were right, as I said in my post on ZSC we did'nt think you were trying to con anybody. Above all dont stop making them, there is a market for them.

Just to clarify, I put the plates for sale on eBay. When I created the advert there was some kind of error with eBay which led to me having two copies of the picture added - I deleted one of these but did not notice that half the text that I had typed had disappeared. The missing text indicated that these were not original Sport & Racing items.
