(I know you should check weekly/monthly, but....)

Yeah i think they are proper ones, they are the so called anti theft Richbrook ones....
And that Valet might not happen now, bit skint until after X-Mas now, better get my cloths and cleaning gear out before it snows!
Think I will also be getting the badges made properley too as they have grown on me and I agree they are quite subtle.... Can let everyone know if they turn out ok and where i got them

Removed the aerial, smoothed the side repeater, lowered, de tango'd the front lights.....

Cant beat a slammed ZS! Then again I am slightly biased . Looks like you have an awesome base to work from anyway.

around corners- frankly you would have to be driving like a sphinctor on public roads in order for the difference to come into its own. Im not convinced lowering will upset the handling unless the road is very bumpy.
over speed bumps- Im yet to scrape on one.
in multi-storey car parks- No problem.
Down country lanes- Ill give you that one but most of the time Im on A roads / the m6.
Insurance premium- Extra £30 per year so not too fussed.
Only real problem I have is a small amount of rubbing on full lock but that will be sorted when I roll the arches and make a custom arch liner.
Thing that wins it for me is simply the looks , just look at it ^^^^

To be honest i am pretty chuffed with how it handles, even on the accelera tyres it is a damn site better than the KA and even the old 106 quiksilver i had..... But the MK2 XR2 is still the best although i did drop that 60mm. Not going to do owt to this one if i can help it, just keep it tidy and running sweet! lol

Righto, so the mods have been subtle and so far only done the Induction kit (Green) and replaced the sh1te tyres with some Falkens.... They'll do, also had all four wheels treated as two had lost air, one as i started going round a roundabout, sideways!!
Next on the hit list is the brakes, the woefull pi55 poor excuse for brakes that i have on this car......They are being replaced with some Brembos tomorrow, weather permitting, but ONLY the discs and pads, not the calipers (shame!).
Next up, domed badges in the style of the stickers i have fitted and I will find and fix the small leak in the boot....Maybe a zr160 throttle body to see what happens. Then wash it, use some G3 (or similar), polish, and some genral TLC.
