The white wheels suit the blue MG4

Funks · Mar 16, 2025

Thanks Ian, Salty, MG Clive,

The black badge on light blue makes a nice contrast.
The wheels are standard and have been powder coated white. I couldn’t justify all new alloys and possibly tyres too, but I remembered some rally cars from the 80's had white wheels and looked smart.
I had to get some locking security bolts and the MG centre caps off eBay.

Updated photo, after a clean too

Very nice @SH58, I've never seen the front grille vents open on mine.

That's because the SE doesn't have the active grill system

Ahh right, so are they open all the time on the SE, I'll have to pay closer attention.

Mine (Trophy) always open up when the aircon turns on, and then close when the car shuts down.

That is nice, but I'm still happy with the silver on the blue. Fangs are a must, though.

Black badge on black car. Tempted on the fangs too but might be too subtle to make a difference

For the price of um, go for it. Like you say, very subtle, but still noticeable.

De-badge the tailgate, too, looks great, particularly on a Black car.

I did mine as well. I would like to change the the rear one but not sure I can be bothered pulling the rear apart to do it.

Looking good. Agree about the rear badge, would like it Black. But to much hassle taking the back lights apart.
There is this, that someone posted, which I thought looked good. But can't find it again.

I have the bits to go over the rear but they are like the front one and meant to mount onto the current ones. But to be honest I never really notice the rear one anyway as it is sort of hidden inside the light unit.

Yep, as you probably know. The rear one only fits the SE.
I'm gonna try and track down that, solid Black rear badge, in the pic, as I think it looks good.

It’s on Taobao according to this post, but the link doesn’t seem to work for me. Perhaps the PRC doesn’t like me using a VPN though.

Yep, tried it. Didn't work for me, either.
