 Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Have had chance to do a few more tasks on the car. Firstly i stripped nearly all of the interior to have a good look and clean, aswell as run my wiring kit for my amplifier. Whilst i was there i had a check over the SCU unit and sealed it up - although i do need to remove the aircon again as the bung didnt seat correctly.  DSC03731 by Pandy100, on Flickr I ran the power cable down the passenger side with the cable for the CD changer (although that is redundant) so its all looks nice and OEM, which is what i wanted!  Install 1 by Pandy100, on Flickr To keep with the OEM theme i dremeled out the cable hole on the side of the fusebox inside the engine bay and routed the power cable through there   Install 2 by Pandy100, on Flickr I havn't taken any finished shots (either that or they are on the other computer) but its nice and neat in the boot. Next task was to fit my new Black Ash dash facia from a Rover 25. Always like these and found some cheap on ebay so thought why not! Next plan is to possible look at the 25 black interior bits like the gaitor surround and vents.  DSC03834 by Pandy100, on Flickr Then today my new (to me) wheels turned up. I bought them mainly because they have tyres with plenty of life left, whereas the ones on the car currently are getting very low and its MOT time soon. They were painted satin black (i did know this) and was told they had some kurb marks but knowing that i had about 10 cans of satin black at home it was a win win situation as i could tart them up when i got them - which i did! They are by no means perfect but very much acceptable until i decide what to do wheels wise.  IMAG0234 by Pandy100, on Flickr Finally just wanted to show off abit with a nice clean picture and my sticker which i have had on a while....relates   DSC03795 by Pandy100, on Flickr  DSC03789 by Pandy100, on Flickr | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | 100Vi - 2/6/2011 9:57 AM Nice. Really like the dash of the MK2, and MK2's in general if they're in subtle colours like yours I've Got a set of Rover 25 black ash doorpulls if you're interested. If you do some fishing on EBay Germany and you might be able to turn up a black ash/leather steering wheel. I saw them when I sourced the walnut one I had in my ZR. Don't believe they were ever available in the UK Thanks mate. I didnt know they did those ill PM you in a second. And thanks for the heads up on Ebay.de ill keep my eye open Ryan you can get them from Whizzer on detailingworld | ||

 Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | Needs ZR-X front splitter and lowering now  You did a hell of a lot more than I thought you did other day, I thought you were just upside down under your dash, didn't know you gutted the thing lol good work, now how many rattles do you have | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | It needs some sort of drop, maybe in time I had some time so stripped it out, a few people have told me i needn't have bothered but its all nice and neat now so i dont mind The next job on the list is a new gear knob and some more black ash goodies | ||

Ive got a set like that shod with R888's Do yourself a favour and get Coil-overs. AVO lowering springs are cheap, look great and are 'okay' on track (wollow a bit but lower centre of gravity) but on the road they will ruin your life! Id love to see it with standardo ZR lamps i have to say... i know its a Trophy model but unfortunately the Chav light status ruined the look of the lights. (Rare red background ones look good tho  ) Seen the ZR knob on Rimmer Bros for £20? Edited by AdrianSi 2/6/2011 11:30 AM | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | I would only go coilovers or at the very least Eibach X Powers but they dont provide a big enough drop, definitely dont want AVO springs ive heard they can be abit harsh . I like the rear lights but i can see where you are coming from, the Red ones were remade recently for a group buy on MG-Rover.org but im not prepared to pay £90 for a set of lights tbh. I have seen that knob but not sure its push on or screw on, any ideas? | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Cheers dude Put another sticker on it earlier but its very subtle being nearly the same shade of silver.  DSC03841 by Pandy100, on Flickr | ||

 MP Admin Posts: 8747 Location: Greater London \ Essex | Liking the sticker, very neat While you're looking round the dash check your pollen filter, saw a thread on the ZR site about it the other day and mine was filthy as well... for 6 quid could make it much nicer in summer if fresh air coming through the vents. On MG-Rover.org they had a new run of red trophy lights made, might still be available. As for looking chav... it's a ZR it defines chav! | ||

Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | agree with Ade on the lights now, as you have dark wheels, everything is too dark and boring, needs a hint of colour like standard lights but its also down to colour of the car and other additions that make the lighs work well, like say on Xpower grey | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Silver wheels are back on, with thanks to Matt for sorting the tyres out today Car looks much brighter and cleaner (even if it is filthy) so they will be staying. Also thanks to Julie for my Blach Ash door handles which look great | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Fitted my new rear badge yesterday as the original one has started to fade and has chipped over the years. Another small mod but one that was worth it (again thanks to Matt for sourcing it for me )  New rear badge by Pandy100, on Flickr And it was looking a little dirty so i gave it a wash, which turned into a mini detail including wax topup  DSC04212-1 by Pandy100, on Flickr  DSC04215-1 by Pandy100, on Flickr Not much else has changed but when it looks this clean i dont think it needs anything (maybe wind deflectors) | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Going against what i have said above, the plan is to order some AVO Black springs next week, whether or not I'll like them is another story but it needs a drop I have a few days to change my mind but it's either those or the Xpowers and they simply don't drop it enough  | ||
