How times have changed on here.

Departed 32016 · 16th February 2015, 15:48

When I first started here a few years back-

Everyone would wet themselves at the site of-

serpent alloys
power fold retrofits
Cruise control retrofits
Rover Ron boxes...

Now it's all about keeping the cars on the road, one thing remains though, the information on here is extremely valuable, the contacts I gave gained on here are priceless and in my opinion well worth £10 a year.

Nice 'Plug' there...

All down to personal choice, I wouldn't mod for the heck of it, no 'must have's' for me. I don't have serpents, auto dim mirrors, powerfolds, heated/electric seats or rain sensing wipers. The car still has a high spec though.

I think it just goes to show how things change as our cars get older. The youngest ones will soon be 10 years old.

Well.........I am in the middle of a slightly different version of the Zt Mk1 bumper.

Not sure its classed as a must have mod though...........

Modding is perhaps something I'll have to look into... if the ZS ever stops eating all of my money.

So far it's been a battle just to keep her moving - but these are the joys of having a high-mileage car that's been ignored service-wise by previous owners.

Is it just me or do serpent alloys look a bit feminine with their little curls ?

I went down the powerfold road. Never again

Well my car already has Serpents and thanks to club, I've added extras that Rover should have left on in the project, torpedoes etc.

To me Serpents whilst a nice wheel IMHO don't suit the 75.

My personal choices are Meteors on a 75 and Apexes on a ZT

I'm intrigued re your Powerfold comment as I have then OEM on my 75 and I've bought a set from Tam (god bless his soul) to retrofit on my 260. Was there problems on retrofitting ? I am hoping to attend a nano later this year where those that know can hopefully assist. Door removal to fit is beyond me.
