BODYWORK AND STYLING

When it comes to style, Peter Stevens bodykits were rather sharp. For a time, there was a fad for converting earlier ZSs to the Mk2 look, but you can no longer get brand new bumpers and bodykit parts have been unavailable for a considerable time, making this more of a challenge.

If you can get your hands on secondhand components it is easy to do, but don´t forget that the number plate moved from bootlid/tailgate to the bumper with the Mk2, so you´ll need to factor those into the overall cost too.

When it comes to wheels, going up to 17in is no problem, though you might find that these catch if you subsequently lower the car. 18 and 19in have been known, but this requires some rather drastic wheelarch restructuring and is a bit OTT. The correct Pitch Control Diameter (PCD) for the ZS is 4x100 and the offset in ET 38-45. Don´t go wider than a 7.5in wheel. Some aftermarket bodykits may not be that compatible with a suspension drop, so again, check the forums and see what people have already done before getting the wallet out.

If the dull orange of the instrument binnacle is something you find tedious, it´s easy enough to pull the binnacle out and change the bulbs. LEDs can be a bit fierce, but blue bubs add a rather delicious look to the dials and can be bought on eBay for a few pounds.
