Just messing about - Possibly a first on a MK1 ZS

I have never seen this done before, probably with very good reason! I am pretty sure no-one will like what I have done and I am not totally sure If I like it either, but I was bored and wanted to change the car a bit. If it doesnt grow on me I will change the black to blue.

It doensnt photograph well, it seems like the the black sucks all the light from the sky.

When I got the car it was poverty spec body wise apart from the extreme spoiler. So I managed to source, fogs, MK2 Grill, 180 splitter and side skirts. I have had the TB side skirts on for sometime, but never got round to fitting/spraying the bib and grill. TBH my spraying skills are terrible, so I went with a contrast colour that was easy to paint, Matt Black!

Bring on the hate




Here it is when I bought it



and now.......................









I cant help but think it looks a little damaged/repaired

Still got the TB skirts and mk1 grill in the garage, I had a spare set of green skirts, which I painted, the grill will get painted TB and I will probs leave the splitter matt black.

I can turn it back the way it was in around 10 minutes Thats the only reason I did it. There was no way I would have done it to bodyparts that were trophy blue!

I agree, looks like it has been covered with those stone chip protectors and you cut sections out.
