MG ZS 180 Mk2 - XPG Saloon.

When I had my scirroco way back before kids (eldest is now 24) I fitted slightly wider tyres (205's over 185's IIRC), these rubbed the arches on hard bumps so I ground a bit off the lip with an angle grinder, did the trick.

Would that not open it up to rusting though?

Whoops!



Big dip in the road and two in the car making 30st haha!
Scrape and pop!

Luckily the little push clips hadn't broken so it went back into place easily but looks like I can get them off alright to roll arches when needed!

i trimmed off the excess plastic on mine as quite a bit goes into the arch at a bad angle and cutting it off doesnt affect looks but will stop that happening!

I did seal it, I was trying to type at right angles on a lap top without being able to see the screen properly so kept the message short.

Got some of those tuner nuts as the originals were stripping and also damaging the alloys on removal.

Some pics.

Damage to the alloy from normal taking on and off of nuts with the OEM bar.



New internal drive nuts nowhere near the alloy and the drive will never get near it!








Just need those spare mk2 alloys refurbished and powder coated!


Also fixed the broken rear arch spat with new clips and some double sided number plate foam!
