General question - were they ever a factory fit option? Just thinking re mods declared to insurance co's
Colin Ellis #456 It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end
Am I also right in thinking the Xpower logo was just a sticker?
I've had a look on the Janspeed web site, and the don't list any parts for the ZT range what so ever.......

It was Janspeed.
Just been on the phone to them.
They told me there was never a jig made up, and that dealers used to drive the cars in and get the backboxes custom fitted each time.

I have tried contacting Janspeed before now about producing a run of them, but got no response.
If anyone else fancies having a go though....
Now that I'm the proud owner of a pair, no gloating obviously, I've had a chance to have a good look, gyno style mirror up the tubes style
Obviously without pulling them apart its hard to say but they don't look the most complicated beast, rather a lot of emptyness in truth. Surely any decent fabricator could do a straight 'copy'?
Isn't it when people start with 'I'd like Xpower noise but with Zero quality + twins + x + y' that it gets complicated?
Or am I missing something?
MG ZT 260 #107 Trophy Blue, previously owned #42 XPG.
SMC certainly didn't drive my car to Janspeed for the XPowers that are fitted to mine!

Had a number of director cars at my dealership when we were owned by Phoenix (MG Rover Group's own dealership company) that had x-power back boxes. I assumed they were PDI'd and registered on-site at Longbridge with the back boxes being fitted then. (You could always use this excuse with the insurance companies!)

I believe mine came through the route that Mik describes. I have X-Powers with no logo on...
