Farewell ZR, Hello ZS!

Hi all,

Finally made the switch this weekend and purchased a ZS 180 after 6 years of ZR 120 ownership.

A few shots of the ZR below:

I absolutely loved this car and as you can see I took great care of it. I always said it would have to be a very special car for me to part with the ZR and I am happy to say that it's replacement really is a bit special. I picked it up on Saturday and absolutely love it! It belonged to Chris, a forum member on here, and it's been very well looked after and drove like a dream on the way home up the M6.

Just a couple of iPhone shots for now until the weather clears and I can take some with my DSLR:

Nice buy, looked a cracking car on the ad! Enjoy!

Did wonder who'd bought it, glad it's gone to someone who'll look after it.

So it was you was it! Well done, absolutely immaculate. Nabbed a real bargain.

Cheers everyone, it will be very well looked after!

Only fly in the ointment so far is the cowling under the washer bottle has split and was hanging loose making contact with the tyre and road. I have gaffer taped it up for now as a temporary fix but I believe I will need a new wheel arch liner as it's one piece. Does anyone know how difficult it will be to replace?

Few trim screws around the liner and a couple in the bumper should see it off, mine split in replacing the bumper and I still need to replace it after it wore through with friction and cut a mark into the side wall which was the only thing to note on the MOT which it failed on! So make sure it's tied up well, I used a couple cable ties.

If it is split I'm breaking one imminently.
