what do you and dont you like about my car, be honest(page 4 update)

[Ritchy]

hey guys, it was just to get your views on my car, and what you think of it? what would you think i should change:D be honest please!

[Jay-ZS+]

Im not sure about the colour of the alloys look abit purpley/grey (may just be the light) also dont like the fact you engine bay puts mine to shame!!! :( Looks straight out of the factory, how do you get it so clean???

Other than that it looks stunning really nice mate :thumbsup: :) :)

[Ritchy]

it was just washed there, lol, clean it once a month with the steam generator at work all over, then it gets polished, and then rest of the month its sponge cleaned, nothin special really:D autoglym super resin:D and thanks:D im gettin the wheels powdercoated next month:D

[Simon's ZS-120]

lol not liking that back box is that of a zr160 and i think you should fibre glass your spare wheel housing and make a better box that will up the bass and also make it air type other than that im loving it

[Ritchy]

its just a finnisher:D its just till i get round to the full system:) the spare wheels still underneth it so it was more practical that way:) i had a big double 12 inch inclosure behind the back seat, but it just took up a bit too much space, got the idea from a mazda 6:D what exhaust end do you think i should get?

[Maxfly]

i agree about the exhaust, don't sit quite right imo an the MG badge on rear lloks a tad lost tbh but other than that looking mighty fine:D

[Ritchy]

cheers mate:D

[rbull51]

As said by others, not keen on the exhaust. I wish i could keep my engine looking that clean!

[grimmy]

It's got the wrong engine in it:trampoline:











Na i like the look of your car mate

[Ritchy]

:P anno id love a v6

[talkingcars]

Generally I like the car
except the yellow badges, the wrong engine, the poor location for the airfilter and the unfinished sub.

Keep up the good work.

[ian zs180]

Looks ok apart from the back box i would defo change that

[Bobdope2002]

Looks Spot On Mate cant fault it one bit

and i think the exhaust looks quite good tbh

are the alloys in a anthracite by any chance???

[bmm87]

im stugglin to think of nethin lol, i really like ur car bud, the wheels r a nice colour, the engine bay is nice, ur sub enclosure could do with a wee bit of work and maybe sum new badges, other than that i think u should leave it how it is!

[talkingcars]

Generally I like the car
except the yellow badges, the wrong engine, the poor location for the airfilter and the unfinished sub.

Keep up the good work.

I should add that I like the wheels and
I like the exhaust













but I wont
even though I do.

[stamford]

Very nice mate, not so sure on the tailpipe. As for the boot item..............not into such things as they add weight ;)

[StragglaSteve]

i would go for a 3.5" slash cut or inward rolled tailpipe
get a heat shield for your air filter.. or a nice carbon fiber closed box

nobody will see the sub! so nice work there, very stealthy under the carpet ;) and practicle too!

remove the rear badge

and your car would be perfect!

[Ritchy]

thanks for the comments guys:D i was thinmkin of ways to make the sub look better, but keep the spare wheel where it still, so ive thought about it today and come up with a few ideas so shall post the pics up once i get round to it:) i think the full exhaust sytem shall be gettin done early next year me thinks so shall look at diff tail pipes then:D, dont want a noisy one:D n the air filter i know lol, but i liike the noise of the open filter! so i just put a cold air feed for now, once the stainless sytem is on i might get an enclosed one, n the wheels i sprayed myself(with the tyres off) n its called moondust its a vauxhall colour, get them powdercoated as soon as i can afford it!:D cheers guys:d least i wasnt getting an "OMG ITS HIDEOUS " comments like the poor laguna guy lol:D

[Dan1971]

MG badge and the colour of the wheels. The induction kit looks .... Ineffective.

[Murray203ps]

Very nice mate, not so sure on the tailpipe. As for the boot item..............not into such things as they add weight ;)

I agree about the subs,too much weight for my liking. as for the car i like it very much. Nice colour, nice wheels and nice engine bay. Defo need to route that cone filter nearer to the edge of the front bumper tho.

[Dave ZS-X]

needs the guts to match the looks, otherwise very nice.

Dave

[Simon's ZS-120]

i use to have a twin 12 in my zed and i still had a bit of space left

[Ritchy]

i did have space, however couldnt use the boot with the seats folded, and the weight in the thing lol!, that subs like 6 kg so not too bad dont really notice the difference too much, i make up for it bein skinny haha

[Ritchy]

well a few months have elapsed in my last post, but ive taken the crytisism constructivley n changed a few bits, the parts people didnt like where, the off grey coloured wheels, redone titanium now, yellow badges, changed friday for brand new genuine items front back and new zs badge, sorry about the dark picture, tailpipe, changed for a xpower backbox, sub still needs a little tidy up to make it perfect ehm, few bits still want done as well, i need an opinion on my kickplates what do people think?

Like the kick plates Ive got some with rover stamped on them that I gonna do something with. Looks smart richy

[Dan1971]

Very nice mate ... Kickplates are a good touch. :thumbsup:

[peterzs]

Like the kick plates, think I'll get a set on mine.

:):):):)

[petet16]

The kick plates get a big thumbs up, likewise the wheels, hopefully mine will look similarly good by the end of the week:thumbsup:.

Oh, just one other thing don't take pictures in the dark....it's a fail:sorry:

[Ritchy]

lol first chance i got:P thanks guys

[Ritchy]

i was soo lucky with the kickplates, ehm...some turned up cough at work somehow magically , i had rover ones originally id wrapped in black vinyl but the plain ones turned up so thought some domed badges would look good, been looking at the new mazda illuminated ones, n deciding how hard it would be to manufacture say.. zs or xpower ones, basically need a plate cut with a cnc cut out in the middle n a flat LED, n cut out a square in the plate n fit it in, probably never do it:P

[Ritchy]

3 years on, same question?

[petet16]

I like the dark coloured gills, I wasn't sure when you first did them but they look good, I also like your headlight washers, there's nothing that I dislike.

[Ritchy]

glad i ditched the cone filter, exhaust, and yellow badges now haha

[Enright]

I think you could use some Team Heko wind deflectors.
It looks as though there's no gap between the tailpipe and the heatshield, which makes me wonder if it vibrates.
Oh and I don't think as someone previously said that you have the wrong engine - but I DO think that you are technically adept enough to VVC the one you have (assuming it's a 1.8).
I wonder (although I'm not sure) if the front bumper below the number-plate would look good covered in black vinyl or sprayed black.
And lastly, I'd like to see a few pics of the interior.

[Ritchy]

re current exhaust, its a mk1 exhaust and ive put a finnisher on to bring up in like with the bumper, unfortunatlly still doesnt fit right so that nother thing on the list, a decent mk2 backbox, although its not vibratey, interior is grey monaco with black cloth, not got any pics unfortunatle:/ try get some tomorrow at the show

[WalkerDnB]

looks awesome :D .makes me wish Id have gone for a mk2
Only thing you could do is lower it.
Making it vvc is a nice idea
I think a vvc would make it more unique rather than just another V6.

[Dan1971]

Your car + VVC + Alcantara = Perfect

[POMPSKI]

Stunning

[andy-81]

looks very good mate

[daytona365]

Still a nice looking motor, for a non TY! lol

[coreygraham180]

like the gold calipers :P

i think it is one of the best examples out there

[BUCKYDEVIL]

Havent seen your car since the respray mate but from the pictures it look's fantastic
Loads of nice unique things with your car that I like are BMW interior lights & pop up headlight washers.
Really struggling for something to nit pick at so can only suggest to change the Exhaust pipe for a proper backbox.
Since the respray this really has to be one of the best 110 cars out there.
A credit to you.

[Ritchy]

cheers for the comments guys:) still some wee stupid things to sort but getting there
