 I
bought her New in September 2002; it is the 160 model.
I had been driving her standard for
a while until I saw some ABC snake eye lights on their
website. I had searched all the local accessory shops to locate
some, but was but was constantly being told they were
delayed. Finally, I bought some in June 2003.
I was going on a sight seeing trip
to New York and I’d always heard that everything was cheaper
over there so I started to look on the internet for anything and
everything, and came across
etronics.com (this was the
cheapest electrical goods store) so I decided to get myself a
car stereo with a flip out screen. I then settled on a Pioneer
AVH-P6400CD this cost me less than £400. So I checked Halfords
and they were selling it for £1200 so I saved myself a bit of
money.
Then I had to buy a DVD player to
go with it, after looking on eBay I decided to get a Worldstar
multi region 1 as it can be mounted at any angle, and it has
played everything I throw at it since.
I had always liked the look of the
MG ZR Rally car and I wanted the front bumper I then found out
you could buy it from MG ‘SnR’ which I eventually did. What made
my mind up was seeing Mat Carlisles's (Mat C) in the flesh at
the Fairmile track day in July 2004 the next Monday I went to
Longbridge to pick up my bumper and spot lights. My local body
shop was highly recommended so they painted and fitted the
bumper.
Then after a few months of being
registered on
xpowerforums.com I noticed that
you could get the xpower back box at a discount so ordered one
through the forum this gave my car a nice deep burble at any
revs.
A friend over on
themgzr.co.uk was selling his car so I bought his old
body coloured rear lights off him.
Then with my Christmas bonus I got
a set of 18” RS GT alloy wheels with Toyo tyres, at this point I
got some Focus style LED side repeaters.
I have a set of AVO lowering
springs that I need to fit, and I’m trying to get a S1600 rear
spoiler to go with the front bumper (for show use only). |
