Aye, if I'm aff nae bother fella Would say that it can take a wee while at times for them to pop up local enough to be worthwhile going to see!! Was looking for ages for mine and still had to drive from Inverness to Dundee to check it over lol
You can still do plenty modding with them but it can more often than not just be wee touches to make it your own.
An the other thing is that the bodykit is very susceptible to stone chips so check that, especially the spats on the rear doors

Aye, was thinking that I'll probably have to travel. If it's local I'll see if Kev wants to tag along and advise me too.
I wouldn't really be doing much TBH, just the things like you've done which improve the car without necessarily making it appear modified... rear headrests, HIDs, tub of lube in the armrest, etc..

For what is it is worth, I have the low level spoiler for reasons that I want to be different and NOT follow the rest of the ironing board spoiler , plus I think it makes the ZS look like a cash 'n' carry shopping trolley!

What sump have you got on your tubby, I had a vitesse one on my originally, it would grind on the road under heavy breaking!

If you're meaning the ZR 160, there is something like 0.1 of a second difference in 0-60 times between that and a 180. My ZR was a 160 to begin with, and I can assure you that the extra 60+ horses from the new engine make quite a bit of difference.
The sump's a Ti one, it batters everything, actually surprised there's any oil left in the car!
