Mods for my Anthricite ZT V6 160+ mk1 Saloon are quite short....

: K and N style induction kit
: Drivers cup holder
: MG Accessory Gear Knob in Ash Grey
: Full Philips ''Nightbreaker'' lights all round
: All normal bulbs uprated and replaced with silver/clear or brighter led versions
: LED interior roof panel lights to replace the dull ones
: VDO radio fascia (None kenwood)
: Sony Minidisc head unit

I did have mesh effect headlights which looked great - Now removed as the split the beam to much IMO.

1. Power steering pump bracket mod to ease servicing / compatibility with more generally available P/S units.

2. Meshes over plennum voids.

3. Long range R/C for FBH + FBH off timer.

4. R/C also for cars 'yoda voice' proverbs and advice to peds.

5. Indicator light for FBH operation.

6. In car PDA gives removable GPS and Internet + Films

Coming soon......

New hacked power input for PDA to ease stowage.

Big solar panel (long but thin) behind rear headrests + charge controller in boot to keep battery topped to reduce engine load & save MPG.

I have owned my 75 for just over a year now and in that time have added the following,

auto-dimming mirror
aftermarket reversing sensors
footwell lights (independant front and back)
fbh remote control
viton intercooler O rings
plenum-chamber inspection grommet

Are there any other recommended modifications that can be added to the "gentleman's carriage"?
