Car was starting to look a bit grubby as it hadn't been washed in about 3 weeks
Gave it a thorough scrubbing with fairy liquid , followed by a quick polish with AG SRP.
Getting a remap during the week and sdi injectors which should see a nice performance gain
Anyone else clean your car today?

lol compared to most of the cars about here it's not low at all
They didn't come in white sean, this had a full respray so you will be hard pushed to find one in white , there not bad at all for a derv, there only 110bhp as standard but up the boost, get a decat, sdi injectors and a remap and your looking at 150bhp and a bucket load of torque good on the juice too, just be careful with head gaskets

Where are the clean pics?
Still think this looks great. Darker rims would suit it though.

Did the opposite and threw mine down some dusty roads today!
Looks nice though, especially in white, as you said though, they didn't come in white, and it is a shame. Always liked the ZR, I had 2 friends with 1.4 105+ models. Really like your alloys too, are they the MG ones or?

Front bumper is covered in stone chips if thats what you on about
I have a set of wheels the same as what's on the car getting refurbed atm in anthracite, I'm still in 2 minds whether it was the right decision or not though

haha, I bet you had more fun than I did
I was never a fan of them tbh, but when I seen this one in white I loved it and now I like them as a car overall, can't fault it at all, get some grief from everyone as its essentially a Rover but there actually not a bad car
Aye the wheels are stnadard MG 17" straights, I've just pulled the centre caps off as they would more than likely go missing, they don't look bad without the centre caps anyway I think, maybe that's jsut me though

Nothing wrong with a Rover lol, I'd have brought a 220D which I think is pretty much the same car? If I hadn't got my Corsa cheap.
They're nice those wheels, my friend had a set that had been powder coated black and they looked cool too, looks better with the centre caps removed though
EDIT: Yeah I had loads of fun, until I looked at my fuel gauge, engine temperature gauge, and the fact that my lovely silver Corsa is now a light shade of brown!

I don't think there as bad as the K series but it should still be something your aware off. Especially when upping the boost etc as they tend to run hotter causing the heads to warp. Don't let it put you off though, if you keep check and don't rag it until it's red hot you will be ok.

Love this car so much! White really does make it stand out from the rest. Wouldn't do white wheels.
