On 25th August 2012 i brought a 2004 XPG MG ZS 2.5 V6 180 with 48,000 miles on the clock.
It was very clean and was mechanically fine.

I will use this thread to update anything i do with the car and you never know
it may also be a cool bit of history to sell with the car when it goes.. (maybe)

Spacer

Speaker

Rear

Wheel

Engine

A few days later i decided to stick the old Force 10s on to see if the larger wheel suited the car.
I really like these wheels as they are very similar to the standard ZS wheels which come as standard.

30th August 2012 I have just brought a load of ICE.

- Alpine iDA-X305S Head Unit
- Alpine PMX-F640 Amp
- Alpine 4x SPG-17CS Speakers

This looks easy.. how hard could this be

Oh.. snap.

Enough wires to light a house

Speakers

Got the rear speakers booming, going to add the rear tweeters and tidy the cables up tonight then focus on the fronts tomorrow.

A mess for now

Cleaned up a little bit last night

4th September 2012 thought i better stick the head unit in, driving in silence is dead boring...
i had to fix it because i might have accidentally ran the connecter plugs over and smashed them to hell....... all is working though
