dave if i make any modifications to the bonnet on my ZS what will it effect warranty wise? i.e vents, scoops etc.:err:

Just the bonnet and anything directly below or affected by it I reckon...

Vents/Louvres wouldn't suit the ZS IMO :err:

What have you in mind Nick?

I was thinking of the grand vitara scoop, which is quite subtle yet menacing, with some louvres or vents down the sides of the bonnet, towards the front. the bonnet has like a v shape to it I thought the louvres or vents would look nice either side of this v shape?:err:

I keep imagining wat it would look like and it looks good to me, just want to make it look slightly different. I might try to get a quote before anything is done.

Nick......sit down......be honest with me m8.......have you been drinking?

I don't think it would look that good.....:bandit:

No drinking, I kinda know what i want my car to look like, it ay not be to everyones taste but thats just me. I like subtle but menacing. I don't want a huge bloody great thing on my bonnet like a pulsar scoop, nope something that makes it look 'different'. We'll see when i have decided.:beer: :beer: :beer:

I feel some 'photoshop phun' coming on here!

how can you destroy a piece off ART you must be MAD

Paul - You ain't met Nick yet - He's MAD!! :lol:

nope not yet when can i have a zt v8?

Paul - wait until next year, OK? [ZT V8]

Might have some news........


Do I owe you anything for those starter components m8?

I was looking at the MG ZT X-power and the bonnet on that looks nice, maybe with a low rise scoop to give it a mean look especially with the low lying front and the menacing light setup. I don't have the s/ware to create the look that i am after sorry.

MAD me? hmmmm........ something to do with being dropped at birth me thinks:lol:

The ZS maybe a work of art, but if you had 10 copies of the mona lisa floating around where you live, it wouldn't be so special would it?:err:

only a smile

Anyone know of any good s/ware that i can use to create a visual idea of the modifications that i wanna do?:cool:

Paint Shop Pro 7 is good value Nick or Photoshop 5,6 or 7 is the dogs but pricey......unless you have a broadband connection ;)

I'm sure there are some willing Photoshop artists here who might create your car!

Dropped at birth? HaHa! :lol:

I got paintshop pro, so what do i do? Find a picture of the car with the scoop, cut the scoop of it and paste it onto my car?

Basically.....yes ;)

Have fun!!!

I'll have a bash and let you know what it looks like.:err:

Keep the pic at 640 x 480 ok?

Makes it easier to view on-forum :bandit:

okey pokey!!:rolleyes:

We're still waiting Nick! ;)

I'm no good at creating pictures. :confused: I can't find the right pictures to do anything!!:mad: Is there anyone that could do it for me? I just need to see a ZS180 with a small scoop in the middle at the top of the bonnet, and some vents down the sides of the front of the bonnet.:doh:

How much would a new bonnet cost me? and would a R45 or even a rover 400 bonnet fit my car?

Over £120 Nick!

No, a 400 bonnet is different...

what about the rover45, i might be able to get one from the scrapyard (bonnet that is):err:

Hmmm I doubt it Nick......if a 45 was damaged enough to be scrapped the bonnet would most probably be damaged!

well i'll keep my eyes open anyway.:cool:

Yeah, I'll do the same - You never know!

cheers dave, i think i'm gonna send a message up to anyone that can do me a picture of an ZS180 with scoop and some vents down the side.
