Luke's Project XPOWER ZS 180.
 
As some maybe aware I bought this from Dan on the weekend and to say im impressed is an understatement. It drove faultlessly from Kent to Yorkshire only stopping for fuel on the way. The car is a great spec and feels like a Rolls Royce compared with my old ZR. My plans:

> Front End Respray
> Xpower goodies - OEM
> Fit TF Wheel
> Powdercoat and refurb the 11 Spokes
> Cambelt Change
> Exhaust change
> Some engine bay bling
> MK1 180 badge - Does anyone have one kicking around?
> Full Detail
> Paint Calipers Black with Xpower decals
> And enjoy it to the max.

Already fitted/Done:
> Induction Kit with CAF in inner wing
> LED sidelights and Interior lights
> Booked into bodyshop
> Booked in for Cambelt change
> Removed some stickers

Below are a few pictures I took on the Iphone over the last couple of days.

Great car, seen it a few time on meets etc.

Sounds like it will be a well sorted motor when you have finished, look forward to seeing it, PoL or somewhere!!!

:-( sad now, looks great mate, so glad she is in good hands. Are you talking about the mk1 rear 180 badge? I have one of them i can send with the tax if u want?

stamford 20-02-12 05:56 PM

Nice sig Dan ;)

Nice car Luke!!

As said on the other thread its a massive step up from the ZR in terms of build quality IMO, still love taking the 160 out though.


looking forward to seeing this at PoL, are you going with theMGZR.co.uk? think im going to convoy down with some of the .org'ers but Im hoping to park up with the ZS's (hopefully some other monograms.) :D






Cheers,
Matt

When is pol?

peterzs 20-02-12 07:13 PM

We had three TY ZS's parked together last year, met up at Hopwood Park Services off M42 and joined the queue to get in.

Trouble is its so big and so many cars its hard to park up together unless you all arrive at the sameish time.
