Well been a busy man today, fitted the new rear lights, which only took 2 mins then spent the rest of the time trimming the rear bumper to fit my heatshield. :D

Just took my time as i didnt want to make an arse of it and cut too much, managed to just hacksaw it then file it to shape, its on with self tapping screws for the moment, gonna go to the DIY shop and get nuts and bolts shortly :)

Looks good and im happy, both mods together have transformed the rear of the car. Only thing is looks like i have no exhaust lol.

Gonna sort that out, but with the hole in it im not sure what new part i need so am holding off at the mo :D

Window tints and tinted rear lights as below - that's it for now

Going to see if Ian can sort me out when I visit - at least he'll have a template should any other ZS owners require tints in a tube sent out.

Sammy - the chop is class - I've used it as my mobile front screen too - one day it'll be there.

Great chop da'!

Need to tint the rear lenses though as I want to leave the reverse light section clear.

Looking good there Sammy, you would never know it's a 110, only those in the know would.

sduk
25-07-07, 11:17 PM
exactly, only the rear drums on the exterior give it away now :)

Looking good there Sammy, those lights really suit in, a nice oval exhaust would really finish it off.
Like those wheels you got too, what make are they and how much for a set ?

sduk

The lights look nice but if you read up on MG forums they are not the best quality.

Theres many peole who have had a lot of bother with them.

Yes Thats one of them

Cant exactly remember the others but do a search on xpowerforums or .org and you should find the others.

I'd recommend changing the orange bulbs in the ABCs, then you get nice white circle in the middle, not a half white, half orange one.

I have pics of this on my website http://xorro.xpmg.co.uk/vehicles/mgzs/ (scroll to Oct 2005)
