compatibility

Backward compatibility (sometimes known as backwards compatibility) is a property of an operating system, software, real-world product, or technology that allows for interoperability with an older legacy system, or with input designed for such a system, especially in telecommunications and computing.
Modifying a system in a way that does not allow backward compatibility is sometimes called "breaking" backward compatibility. Such breaking usually incurs various types of costs, such as switching cost.
A complementary concept is forward compatibility. A design that is forward-compatible usually has a roadmap for compatibility with future standards and products.

    Accessories/Mud flaps

    Hi all. Has anybody managed to find a set of 4 mud flaps for the MG ZS Hybrid+ ? There are universal sets, sets for earlier ZS models, or other MG SUV’s etc models. But there is no real way to find out if they will fit, without drilling holes.
