My streetwise.
2l diesel, currently repainting plastics, new spring to fit then on the road.
Needs lowering though View attachment 135485

How is it looking now?

What do you mean by paint the plastics, make them body coloured?

Here's how it stands, had to rush it back on the road on Wednesday as my other car was on its last leg's.
As you can see the front bumper is painted, it's a bumper rejuvenation spray I get from my local spray shop and it looks great.
Also smoothed the badge off, tinted headlights and fog light.

Your Streetwise looks great, I like the colour not seen that on a SW.

Would that reduce scuff marks say if you caught a moulded plastic bumper on a wall?

I wouldn't imagine it would really, a scuff is a scuff

So you could smooth it out, like with your Rover badge?

I used fibreglass sheet then body filler to smooth the badge hole

Good news, the oil pump has packed up. Engine is dead, completely seized.

We're dropping in a 1.8 turbo

elise parts sell an upgraded oil pump, maybe worth putting on the 1.8t engine

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but I'm about to inherit my grandfather's MG ZR1 as a first car. I really want to learn more about it (in order to treat it properly). I'm waiting for my license to be issued, so up to this point I've only parked it around, therefore I'm open for any tips and advice. Cheers!

Nice clean car as it looks. Congrats!
Regarding tips, have a close look on the top three heads of chapters of the ZR/25/200 section (How To & the like).
Enjoy it when you've got the license in the pocket: meanwhile you may have a go for all the mandatory services.

Will do, thanks a lot! Service wise it does have a lot to get sorted 😅

My 1.6 IS YR2000 9,100 MLS 3 door no a/c or spare wheel so light and quick, a bit of a Q car I like to think 😁.

Sorry I don’t know how I posted double pics. 😱

I really like the sunroof, the car seems to be in great shape, kudos!
