Hello people,

Just collected my car from the body shop so I’ve taken some photos to show it off.

Before

When I first bought it



got the wheels powder coated black



and some dirty pictures just before it went into the body shop










bought a gsi kit off ebay for £160, a steinmetz rear for £30, and a smooth scuttle for £36

I’ve had the gsi kit put on and the rear bumper put on. had the number plate recess plastic welded out using part of the gsi rear

all parts were sprayed including boot lock and bump strips, had a crease in the door fixed. the only things that didn’t get sprayed were the roof bonnet and boot

whats with the MG badge mate??


in my personal opinion i think its 'too' black, needs something else colour wise i reckon

you need to take some pics of the whole car sort of front/side on to see if the bumper looks right, does it still have the fogs?


also get a new grill mate would look miles better
