I'm going over shortly. I'm guessing for conclusive proof the colour code will be on the door pillar?

Can someone tell me the firefrost & aurora codes so I know what I'm looking for?!

Looking forward to your findings.

Which brings me swiftly to this one back in June
If Reebs recons there was only 1 x 1.8T made perhaps the OP's example is Firefrost after all.

Cmon Cucumber we're all waiting for that Paint code


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZT-1-8T...p2047675.l2557

Need to ask Reebs how many variants in Aurora were made.
I think it was approx 5 ?

Cheers Trikey
I suppose this latest Zt had to be Firefrost if Reebs said the one on sale back in June was the only Aurora in existence!!

Looking at the 2 pics together the flip isn't there on the bottom photo.

Aurora



Firefrost

Distorted or what! My Firerefrost doesn't go that orange, even in the brightest of daylight.

I can confirm it is.... Frostaura!

It does look nicer than normal firefrost, to be honest the body looks like it's been well taken care of, paint is in lovely condition, but definitely not aurora, as Trikey said.

It has had a n/s bump, which added to potential HGF is an easy write off from most non enthusiasts view.

Inside is a different story to outside though, not nice at all. The interior is half pvc/cloth (I can never remember the official name...), and incredibly mouldy, holes in seats etc. Crisp packets, takeaways, cans etc everywhere.

The only extra that I could see was Traffic Master, it has the button behind the gear stick.

I guess it's handy to have so close if I need any parts though.
