I bought a ZS 180 yesterday and absolutely love it. Fantastic machine, ideal for the family and having some fun. However, there's a few issues I have with it.

Firstly, can anyone recommend somewhere (pref in the North West) where I can get a new exhaust fitted. After something which will allow a smoother flow, sound deep but subtle, ideally made from stainless steel and not cost a fortune.

Secondly, the 180 front splitter is missing. Theres no way I'm paying £240 for a brand new one from Rimmer Bro's, so does anyone know of any alternatives?

Lastly, what are peoples thoughts on the 17" alloys? Fitted with the MG Straights as standard, I'm not a big fan of the design or colour of them. I have a silver ZS with standard silver straights, but considering refurbishing them and going with bronze or gun metal grey.

Any thoughts?

A breakers will be a good bet for getting another splitter and if your lucky you will find one the right colour.
Exhaust wise I went for a custom build jobby but that depends on if there are any decent firms near you that do this. Popular ones are Janspeed and piper, just make sure if buying off the shelf that you get sent the right fitment as those for the MK2 have longer tailpieces so would jut out from your rear bumper too much.
Gunmetal for the wheels would look good or you could get the MK2 11 spokes and sell yours?
