my zs replica

i can now afford to keep the car so am looking to mabey spend a few pounds on it to improve how it looks.

its looking like i might be getting the zs front bumper on it so thats gonna help it alot but have you got any ideas what else it needs? not the 180 kit tho as it is slightly out of my price range lol, i am thinking a set of subtle mudflaps and wind deflectors. any suggestions?

also good and bad comments welcome

cheers

As I said on the ZR site don't fully ZS it mate, it looks great as it is with a few Rover bits - it's a bit different that way

Mate ... Good news that you have some financial security, but, I reckon if the right buyer came along, you'd still sell it. So .... I'd get it back to standard, (you'd get a buyer on .org if it was standard), and sell off the ZS bits you've done.

Then when sold get a real ZS.

I don't agree this is a great car and if they not racing it on a track then it has better everyday ride comfort due to the softer suspension set up. Many a time I would have ripped the suspension out of mine to fit the 45 one after getting to work down the bloody cobbled road. If you wanna do track days then agreed it's never gonna be a zed.

Then you got the best of both. I would prob stop now as it's fantastic and you have the best of both worlds. I would give you my 120 for it in a heartbeat lol
