My new car...

[dookified]

...is not a Corsa but a yellow MG ZR :D

Yes, I know it will fall to pieces in 10 minutes...
Yes, I know it's a Rover and it's an old mans car etc etc
Yes, I know yellow probably makes me look slightly camp
Yes, I know it's not a Corsa and I should be posting on an MG forum
and... Yes, I did get it cheap through work :)

I think the facelift looks great im not a fan of yellow though.

Will you be changing anything? Wheels are a bit ghey.

[dookified]

Yeah, 18's instead of 17's as I see space for more in there :) It's already been lowered down a bit but we'll see about some coilovers this time around.

I'm going to focus mainly on a full custom install this time around :)

[NightRider]

always liked MGs in yellow!!!!

dont laugh at me for this but i have always wanted a yellow car and i was going to buy an MG ZR but i was put off by the interior...it is very cheap made!!!!!!

how much did u get it for if it aint a secret and whats the engine in it? ;)

[dookified]

got it for £5995, they book about 6300 ish, so was a good little deal... also set myself up with free life cover, payment protection, GAP cover, Paintwork protection :) not bad for a days work :D

thats pretty darn good...how long is the GAP cover and Paintwork protection (this is going to come in handy) ;) for?

[FezzyST]

Them yellow ZRs, and MGs as a whole, are very rare! Special edition colour

[MattGSI]

Looks nice, this guy at works got the older model and its got a flip paint job as standard, nice greeny, blue flip.

That was a £2000 extra..... not standard!!!

[dookified]

Gap is for 3 years and the paintwork is for 9 years now with the new product we use. Have to polish my car once every three months! Think I can manage that :)

Yeah, the yellow is proper rare, this is the cheapest yellow facelift in the country. Organisied myself a bit of a good deal. Was meant to be at £7995 but did some bargaining with Dixons Renault Hull :) Wanted a yellow car since my sis had a yellow punto when I was like 10... so it's a dream come true to own another yellow one now :D

They did a chameleon colour scheme if I remember correctly, you could only get it for a limited period but it was an option iirc

[FezzyST]

Called "chromoflare". main colours were green/blue on the ZR. silver/blue on the ZS. silver/purple on the ZT

[MattGSI]

Well he got the car 2nd hand, £2000 option didnt know that.

[dookified]

the back of my MG looks good cos it's been debadged... and it makes a load of difference! First mod is a decent exhaust, get rid of the pea shooter :D

[MarkyG]

Them yellow ZRs, and MGs as a whole, are very rare! Special edition colour are you sure? its not in theyre signiture paints, looks very similar to trophy yellow to me, whihc is a standard colour

[FezzyST]

Yeh, Xpower exhaust is wicked. We still sell Rover parts so let me know and I can prob get a price for you on Sat.

[FezzyST]

Yeh, it "was" a standard colour, but not for a long time. hence limited edition, not special edition, sorry. But they are very rare and worth a bit just coz theyre yellow

[S17NY P]

my mates got a pre-facelift yellow mg zr with 18" Konig Unknowns, straight through zorst, lowered 40mm and viper induction and it's a awesome car now :)

[Marc]

smart car buddy

Do any decent facelift ZR exhausts?

[cdti_sri]

what donkey is in it?

[14N-FR]

They are pretty cool cars to drive. My ex gf had the 120bhp one, that was loads of fun!!! Really solid cars.

Still prefer my new 1.8 SRI though ;)

[Shakespeare]

always kinda liked the look of them cars myself never driven one though... or been inside one.

[Scotty_J]

nice car that mate, they really do hold the road well and that rear fin just puts the icing on the cake :D

nice one :thumbs:

[16v_black_corsa]

think there nice to drive n look cool

good choice there mate

[BarinaSXIpurthOZ]

I think it looks likes a proton Satria

[dookified]

Had one of them before too ;) Satria GTI :D

[titleist]

afterall.... its a rover!!!

[dookified]

nowt wrong with rover as long as the head gasket doesn't go

[titleist]

lol..... nah, there is not!! thats why we all drive corsas!!!

[Egg]

Love the new car Dook!

[dookified]

[malone]

[dookified]

thinking of some 18's and coilovers :) going to focus on a top notch sound system first as it looks ok as it is but first thing is definatly a new exhaust!

[m13rcf]

[dookified]

[titleist]

beast :D

[BabyBlue]

i like mg's n i think it looks really smart, pluss yellow is an ace colour to have

[dookified]

That looks properly nice on 19's! Hmm... may concider :D

[Marc]

them wheels look sweet. do it

[giltranator]

like the colour.shame about the car though

[mark_1873]

first thing you have got to do is get the old air box out and put a k&n or caterham airfilter right on the end of the throttle body,no pipes inbetween ! <<< best noise ever it will turn heads hundreds of yards away. i love the mg's just for their k series engines and they handle really well, wanted one till mg went bust.

indeed air filters sound ace on the mgs

[mark_1873]

iv got a video of my m8s sumwhere ill have a look for ya :thumbs:

[Marc]

cant wait :P

[dookified]

sounds like a good idea with the air filter. find me the vid and PM me the link :)

[Shane SRi]

Just looked up on this, 1.8 K-series engine i believe, will go like **** off a very wide shovel.

PS- Sam, you can tune the nuts off these engines mate and there really easy to work on, apparently you can get 200 bhp out of em, easy!

[dookified]

Vrooooooom!

[mark_1873]
