Default Bodykits

Morning Guys

Having seen the 'Extreme type' bodykits some people are fitting to their ZTs,
has anyone considered a ZS Mk.2 type wing with vents (see photos here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...yo?usp=sharing).

I think they would make a good addition to the overall look

Cheers

Andrew

I seem to recall that when I had my 45 saloon I did look for some and they were like rocking horse poo about 5 years ago.

I like that, I’m thinking of possibly getting a MINI convertible later in the year, nice idea.

I wonder what they would look like on a heavy oil burner?

If I get a MINI convertible it will be a petrol, we had a diesel Paceman and it was constantly failing regens 😉

I was thinking more along the lines of the Rover 75 Saloon.

It can be done, but all comes down to cost and demand.

A company called RPS LTD does similar wings for the MGF/TF.

Retro sports cars LTD done copies of the original prototype wide body kit ZTs, they could possibly do a small batch of wings if there was enough interest.

Personally I find the problem is if you're going to do the wings you'd have to do the rest to match i.e. side skirts, full arch extensions etc just like the ZS 180 kit.
