Here is finally my topic of my R45 MK2 Diesel.
Its from June 2004
The planning is to make it a ZS MK2 from the outside, just the looks.

i bought the car with front damage that looked not so bad.
but there were a lot of parts missing.
Here are some pics of the company i bought the car from :

The planning is :
- fix the front damage so that i can drive the car
- MG ZS MK2 Grille (have it already just have to mount it)
- MG ZS MK2 frontbumper (already mounted and repainted)
- Fog lights (have it already but not mounted)
- Fog lights mounting bracket (have it already but not mounted)
- Front bumper stone guard (have it already but not mounted)
- maybe tinted windows
- maybe lowering the car
- maybe 18 inchen rvs spyder rims (have to buy new wheels)
- MG ZS Extreme spoiler (have it already but needs repainting)
- MG ZS MK2 180 Bodykit (have it complete thx 2 Ross, needs fixing and respraying)
- maybe dual exhaust L & R (not in a hurry for that)
- Respraying all the parts
