Snifferdogs MG ZR+ 1.4 105 * See page 5 *
« on: 15 January 2012, 21:40 »
I thought Id put a thread up to show the progress Ive made since purchasing a 1.4 105bhp MG ZR In July 2011.

I am fully aware that a lot of people on here dont like them but I thought Id stick you some pics up anyway.

It really does drive and handle well, couldnt be happier  :laugh:

Purchased for a very small amount from ebay -



Knackered head gasket  :rolleyes:, replaced and uprated by a mobile MGR specialist - very highly regarded on the MGR forums -



First mod was to paint the calipers red - cheap and easy but looks loads better -





My mate was so impressed by it that he sold his car and bought one -



Bought some new OE wheels for it -

before

after


Went on holiday to the IOW where the window decided to come off its runners and then bite me when I tried to fix it  :angry: -




Passed a mileage milestone (shes still going good and strong)



Fitted OE side skirts from a 160 -




and this is how she stands at the minute -




If the new MG3 that is due to come out is as much fun to drive then I'll be looking into it -



Anyway, thats the progress so far. Feel free to comment, Im a big boy so you can tell me if you dont like it or if you think its a chav wagon.  :laugh:

Can't believe you still have this Bud......looking good though. Just needs lowering now to make it look meaner and handle even better. As you know I had one of these for 2 whole days and was impressed with it but just chose to return to the VW family  :smiley:

Looks likely MG will be back in the BTCC this year, thought you might be interested to know that.

Yeah I heard that! It would be good for them if its true, sales of the new MG6 have been very slow.

I know it's slightly off topic but I like the look of that MG3. Reminds me of a Swift Sport (the new one).

No Mate never got the option of buying it back from the Insurance company Mate. It went straight from the roadside to storage then salvage. The missus was gutted as I only bought the car to give it to her after a few days but it never made it that far  :grin: :grin:

One very good reason for that against what else is available it is crap, sorry to be harsh but it is built and feels like something that is 20 years.
