Stephen will become famous soon enough
MG ZS 180 - Monogram Aurora
Thought it was about time i started a thread on this one since i have had it for over 2 months now!

This particular car happened to sit in the showroom at longbridge until 2006 when it was sold on.



8 years later, 120k of mainly motorway miles, one rear bump here we are. I own the only knowing surving Aurora ZS. Another 180 Saloon has been exported to either Italy or France and the last was a ZS 120+ Hatch.

I have alot of plans for this one. Getting excited at the thought This is a keeper for sure.

This will be a keeper... Guaranteed.

Plans

Exterior

1: Extreme spoiler
2: Respray as much as possible ( But both bumpers, bodykit and spoiler defo need it)
3: Mudflaps to protect the areas
4: Bi-Xenon projector conversion - Done


Interior

1: Monogram Red Alcantara - Done
2: Smokeys famous tablet install.
3: Respray all dash trim in Aurora along with early door cards and also the TF Steering wheel. The one that has the silver trim top and bottom.
4: Fit early 45 carpet
5: Fully sounproof the inside, boot, doors, roof etc..
6: Dash LED conversion.


I have changed my mind several times on this so no doubt this will change but you get the idea...

All sounds good to me - but - not so sure on doing the dash in aurora too .... Think a guy did that in a ZT. You can sometimes have a little too much of a good thing. Might also clash a bit with the seats ...

Obviously all your call mate ... just my thoughts and sure it'll be one step at a time.
