Mk2 MG ZS 180 Starlight Silver
 
Well I got it, 47k, full service history, loads of receipts. Needs a little tlc. But drives really well. Had a massive smile driving home, missed having one. :D

Yeah, needs a very good clean. And a bit of tidying underneath. 4 decent tyres and a few other bits. :)

Yeah it is, been well serviced. Just not kept very clean.....has a power flow back box too, but doesn't look that well made tbh. :)

Awesome.

Will be great to see you back posting up photos of a clean ZS instead of an Escort or Freelander ..... As much as I like them .... ;)

Haha......cheers Dan, you'll see some more pics tomorrow when it's nice and clean lol :D

I've actually just sold the Escort, be sad to see it go. But just don't get to drive it. And needs the body work sorting. But if I pay out for body work, I wouldn't want to drive it anywhere. I've had my fun with it for the last 2 years. :)

Started cleaning at 08:30. Seats cleaned, hovered and leather treated (front seats are still damp). Outside washed, polished and sealed. Windows cleaned inside and out. Engine had a quick wipe down. And pollen filter changed. New tyres being fitted tomorrow. :D

Loads of photos, especially for Dan. :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f754e0d7f1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...39722de88e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...39963f9cb1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8b5591d5d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c3abbb4162.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...286ec63496.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8ed65796b5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5d2bab1a88.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1000bf17cd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f967a347a8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d05043ff54.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eda6fd43e5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4de9ad4ce6.jpg

Dan1971 30-10-17 08:28 PM

Looks really nice mate .... Silver's my favourite colour for a Mk2.

Alcantara, grey/black wheels, chrome vents (selling some ... ;) ), and a new badge for the front would be on my list ....

Cheers Dan, I'm knackered after that cleaning session lol :D

Already ordered new front, rear and flag badges. Also MG carpet mats.

Centre blade on rear spoiler and bottom middle of front bumper are getting carbon wrapped.

Need to sort binding rear brake now, and new tyres being fitted tomorrow.

One weekend, it will go up on the ramps and be cleaned up underneath.

Got new tyres fitted yesterday, Zenises Z-tyres B fuel and B wet. Had the same tyres on my ST170 and perform really well in both wet and dry. :)

Also replaced oil and filter. Removed resonator box and fed cold air feed from air box to back of headlight. Picks up loads better, sounds better too. :)

Cheers mate, don't worry about that......you can't of seen my other threads.....I don't do halfords bling. Nice tidy, and OE looking. That's why I opted for that dark graphite Grey. And a silver alloy cap. :)

Cover re-fitted, new plates on, new flag badges and Bosch aero wiper blades......engine cover just needs a flat, polish and seal. And some of the black metal brackets need painting. Would like a nice plain black battery cover too. :)

Thought I'd get a few pics of the ZS this morning, then when I got home. All I could see was the rusty bottom grill. So just painted it with chassis all in one paint won't look rusty any more lol :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9482b0c9e8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5643eee59.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d6c60fce7e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...41b3117e23.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...26921d60d2.jpg

Cheers Mick, hopefully my green cotton panel filter will be here soon.......also getting measured up for a long life exhaust tomorrow. So hopefully in a week or so it will sound better too. Really don't like the power flow that is on there. :)

Centre cap badges replaced, oil cap on, and been to have the exhaust measured up. Should be getting done end of next week. :D
The exhaust at the moment has 2 1/4" mid section but the Power flow back box is 2" so getting the centre silencer removed then the same size rear but 2 1/4" with 3" slash cut tailpipe. So won't be too loud at low revs, but nice and throaty at high revs. :Dhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f48824246c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...71991cfb1e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...713cdc9bc8.jpg
