MG ZS 180 (Progress Thread)
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)

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.

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
