Here's my ZS 180

Here are the pics of my car again.

I bought it standard looking like this:




and now it looks like this:




Side CAI:




Splitter (not to everyones taste I know)




Dials:




Peco Exhaust:



Rear upper strut brace (havent photographed the lower one yet)



oil catch tank:



Motobodge short shifter:



Couple from last summer:





Mods since I got the car (apart from the obvious white decals and wheels):

Superchip
Janspeed Decat and Peco stainless backbox
Rear upper and lower strut braces (waiting to get a front lower, got a honda item but kv6 sits too low)
Drilled and grooved disks all round, Redstuff all round.
Oil catch tank
Electroluminescent dials
Short Shifter
Xenon headlight bulbs
Also had cambelts, water pump and stat done.
I think thats about everything.

Planned mods:

Small things first like remove orange filter from lights, and fit MGF steering wheel (soooooo much nicer) then
Manifolds (next)
Coilovers
Cams
Supercharger would be nice but availability and reliability is an issue
and am also tempted by a T16 turbo conversion.

Well thats it. Hopefully some of you like it.

Thanks.

I am thinking about the T16 turbo conv in mine as I didnt realise when I bought the car that the cost of tuning the KV6 is astronomical if you want a lot of power. The T16 turbo is much easier and I know about that engine a bit as I had a modified 220 Coupe Turbo.

Not really a fan to be honest. As long as the owner is happy though it doesn't matter.

Exhaust is not centered, Cupra splitter looks gash and is bulging all over the place, would of been better running a CAF from the front mesh...

Pic 1 and 3 look nice though.

Very clean looking car and Im sure it's your pride and joy modded to your own taste which everyone has different opinions on which is why forums are good for a variety of ideas.
I like the white wheels & clear indicators.
BUT: sorry the decals are lame, front bumper/side CAF isnt a good look and Splitter although is a good idea doesnt seem to sit right.
Need some coolant in that bottle too mate, totally empty.

Why remove the pictures? they were good! As said before you'll get all types of comments some good some not so. You are not alone in getting negative comments on mods, even I have suffered the wrath on here! So don't take it personally, remember we do have a diverse bunch on here of all age groups and backgrounds. Just join in and suffer like we all do!

and dont worry about this lot some on the site always give me grief about mine , but if you are happy then thats the main thing you will get good and bad opinions probably about 50/50 if you are controversial.

and remember opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one
