My X-power grey MG ZT 135+
I thought i'd start a thread about my diesel Zed. I bought it 2 years ago, prior to that i'd never owned a car longer than 4 months.....so its safe to say i like this car. It was on 90K back then, now its on 123K.
As bought...... In the past 2 years i have done the following work on it. New wishbones New fuel pump New rear brakes and pads New alternator and belt New hid bulbs - old ones dim after 7 years Led interior lights Hi spec kenwood stereo + 8 gb mem stick Motorola bluetooth kit Hardwired tomtom 920 mount New drop links New struts New strut top mounts Refurbished gridspokes 190 front brake conversion Smiley rear numberplate New wheel nuts Mondeo engine mount modification Powerflex exhaust mounts Longlife stainless exhaust + decat Synergy 2 + Pierburg maf V2 air intake New fluids New intercooler pipe + bypassed egr and pcv Pics when it had hairpins on Some recent pics

Methinks they are the airship hangers in the distance in the pics.
Love the car but then I do belong to the Facelift club ...lol.. very interested in your exhaust as it's on my list. Being quite close to Duxford are you going to Zed10 in July or the national at Flixton. Cheers Ian

Very nice photos - the two in the wooded glade set the car off nicely - it looks really good. Totally agree that the second set of alloys suits the car so much better.

Thanks mate, yours looks x-power grey aswell? Yeh I thinks they suit the car better whereas I think hairpins on something like the blue or yellow ones look better, each to their own though.

The colour of mine is Pewter Grey, but going from the photos it seems very similar. Probably look totally different side by side
