Cheers for that mate Didnt realise that about them mot So if i fit them are they easy to wire in and get them working? Will the blanking plates need to be cut out or do they unclip?

Hi people i have introduced myself to the club and have had some great help so far on what to look for when i go and buy my first ZS

I have a few questions about the ZS (Hopefully i have got the right section) ...

What are the standard speakers like? Will i get a good sound just using a decent head unit? Ive no complaints but i want to change the rears at some point.

Can i fit fog lights to the front bumper if it doesnt already have them? Im not too bothered if they work or not i just think they look better with them in Would the blanking plates need to be cut out? Yes you can if you can find the parts you need the brackets, rubber gaskets, light units, relay and switch. They are easy to fit u just cut out the blanks the rubber gromits are thye hardest to fit lol, All the connectors are there taped out the way.

I hear that parts are hard to get hold of and servicing is expensive? is this true? I would have thought that servicing is the same for any car. Some parts are hard to get hold of (such as anything to do with the fog lights lol) but not all.

I have also heard that fitting either a panel filter or induction kit makes the response alot better What would be the best one to fit? I used a k&n panel needs no mods then

Are the 17 multi spoke alloys easy to get hold of? yes used are easy to get hold of but if u want new its about 250 a wheel :S ridiculas i know

I would like my ZS to have the multi spoke 17s on it along with fogs etc but looking at my price range the models that fall into my price range have the 16 alloys and no fogs So i was thinking that i could get hold of these parts and pop them on? If you get one of the + models its should have the 17's along with aircon and electric windows.

Sorry for the questions Im just doing my research Thanks in advance people

If your car is a Mk1, I have a complete front fog light fitting kit in stock. These are like rocking horse poo. It is listed in our eBay shop.

Do you just have the filter fitted? No exhaust? Sounds like a plan when i get mine



Link please matey? If they a rare i may buy some now just in case



Now im lost lol



Damm didnt really wanna hack the bumper up but they look good Do i just plug the switch in?

Its not a too bad to do buddy, there is a mark to follow on the inside of the bumper, and even if you do go off the mark a little the rubber seal that goes around the foglight will cover up any minor mishaps :smartass: as rudedog has said yep the switch plugs in to the same plug as the old one, and the relay just pushes into the under bonnet fuse box. I did mine and it was a piece of cake.
