can u buy mg zs arches and skirts anywhere

Post by Brooksy »

hi guys just sold my 220 gsi hatch turbo and have purchased a t reg 420 turbo with the complete back end of the zs but was just wondering if anyone knows where i could get the front and back arches from or side skirts. They probably dont do them but just thought i'de ask. ill keep my eye out for damaged zs's on ebay but not many about.

There is someone on E-bay who sells them but from the pics that he has I can't tell the diffrance. between a 400 with the add ons and the 400 with out them.

Your damn right thought they look lovely Thats why i'm just going to cut my losses and buy a MG ZS 180 Facelift. :D

Southside if i remember rightly that kit on ebay went for a hell of a lot more than the retail price is on the kit new from Xpart. As far as i am aware the kit is available still via xpart but it isnt cheap.

It comes in lots of parts and I think you need different wings too!

Correct a mundo! you do need new wings! the company that produced them for MGR is SW Autodesign (might sound familar to some) :D they are based in leeds (I have no phone number) other than that from talking to the boys on the other side (xpowerforums.com) Motobodge do some kind of replica kit.

It's a lot of work to do as you need the bumpers as well, then headlight, slam panel etc, and it isn't bolt on.. didn't someone on here do a red one with a T16 conversion?

mmmmm i hate to seem like am going against the flow but why do yo need new wings??? I can tell you that yo dont need new wings (well for the 400 you might but for the kit onto a mk2 ZS yo dont) The only mod needed is a hole cut into the wing behind the "shark gills" on the wings to make them functional but the wing is the same part number for both with and without the kit. I have seen it fitted post production to a ZS 120 and he simply chose not to have functional vents. I spoke to sewards this morning and they say there is about a 4-6 week delay on getting it but they can still supply the full kit via the xpart system.

I might have to see if SW autodesigns can supply it direct a bit cheaper as i think my ZS would look all the better for it.
