Not as much as I would like....................but with three daughters and a large mortgage, I consider it fortunate I have a ZS180 at all ;)


Extreme rear spoiler (first mod, previous and first owner opted for the 'discreet' spoiler and he was an MGR employee) I am the second owner btw.
BMC CDA induction kit, recently re-routed via NSF foglamp aperture for improved cold air flow.
Janspeed cat-back duplex exhaust (stainless steel of course!) and second heatshield to suit.
Chrome Lexus style lights.
Alloy pedal set (illuminated blue).
New rear speakers.
Blue neon under head unit-pulses to beat-not used much tbh. Bought from PepBoys whilst on hols in USA.
MSZS rear brake light mask.
VIS Indicators.
Drinks holder for armrest.As for what's next...................6 numbers will suffice!

well i have rover Ron Mafam, Peirburgh maf sensor, Decat (good news with a diesel is it isnt needed for the MOT), GBE boost controller, Xpower badge on the rear, Xpower green painted calipers, Xtreme spoiler (still to be fitted) and that about it so far.

Plenty more to come including a front mount intercooler, modded injectors, hybrid turbo and then plenty of black smoke. LOL.

I havent changed the look of mine from the outside as i think it looks great the way it does. Well until the crash :blink:

BMC CDA with ITG throttle body hose
Janspeed sports cat
Janspeed cat back system
Heated Seats inside
MG TF leather handbrake grip

not sure what mods i will do next. probably wont do any as manifolds etc i think are too expensive.

How easy is it to put the headlight washers on?

like sammy, i said i wouldnt change anything. After modding the zr i wasnt keen on doing the same to the zs. But i have

fitted r45 headlights
aftermarket rear lights
tf steering wheel
different badges (mainly the ones i had on the zr)
fitted a ppx viper (didnt like it)
fitted an apiro forza enclosed filter (funnily enough its loads better than the viper)
dvd HU
12" boxed blaupunkt sub
new aerial
laguna splitter

and the best mods

Site stickers :D

ideally wheels would be my next change, god knows when though
