MG ZR Body Kit

This post is really a culmination of the work carried out in the following posts.

Face Off Grille Finished and Fitted
Seat Leon Cupra R Custom Moulded Splitter

I have to say that the car looks great with the MG ZR body kit (lower valences really), and the custom moulded Seat Leon Cupra R splitter sets the car off a treat. The splitter also works well with the face off grill, resulting in a subtly aggressive front end and a great stance on the road.

In my opinion the omission of the MG ZR spoiler really works well for this car, giving it a sleek profile and maintains the red and black theme throughout.









Seat Leon Cupra R Custom Moulded Splitter

Picked up an LCR splitter from a Seat main dealer for £21, after seeing them fitted to quite a few MG ZR's. I wasn't over keen with how most people had just bolted it on, I wanted a more OEM feel, so I got to work moulding it on. I offered it up and found an excessive amount of force was needed to hold it in place how I wanted it.

To achieve the tight moulded fit to the MG ZR lower splitter, I had to whip out the old heat gun and set about moulding it.

After quite some faffing, it now fits with no gaps even in the upsweeps which is how I wanted it to look, as if it was actually made for the car. On top of adding to the race graphic of the car, it's also a nice edition to the black and red theme.
