Exclamation 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)


Spacer



Speaker



Rear



Wheel



Engine






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.

Side View






30th August 2012 I have just brought a load of ICE.

- Alpine iDA-X305S Head Unit
- Alpine PMX-F640 Amp
- Alpine 4x SPG-17CS Speakers


Heres a few images of it


This looks easy.. how hard could this be



Oh.. snap.



Enough wires to light a house



Speakers




Got the rear speakers booming, going to add the rear tweeters and tidy the cables up tonight then focus on the fronts tomorrow.


A mess for now



Rear



Cleaned up a little bit last night




2nd September 2012 got a really good day cleaning wasn't sunny and wasn't wet, perfect.

Rear



Front



Side





4th September 2012 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

Head Unit





5th September 2012 got my hands on a Cupra R splitter today. £45 from the local Seat garage. took about half an hour to fit.

Halfway

Side



Night Shot






9th September 2012 Site stickers are on the car! small and subtle.. just try to remember not to pressure wash them!

Nearside








16th September 2012 Few little bits done this weekend;

- Replaced passengers handle as it fell of because my girlfriend has hulk powers.

- Finished my ICE by putting the front speakers in. BMW Mini spacers turned up and are PERFECT.

- Stuck some mud flaps on (i know not everyones a fan.)
