MG4 New plates, mudflaps and a debadge.

Do the SE and Trophy back end differ here as I’m sure on my SE the rear badge is on the outside of the plastic.

Id say different - As my Trophy looks as if the badge is 'inside' the light cluster

Ive also ordered some mud guards - So thanks for the heads up re these ?

The trophy version has a clear plastic cover over the lights and badge which needs to be removed.

Further to my earlier post, ordered via ebay on Christmas day and they arrived on 4th Jan. Very quick all the way from China with full tracking, better than some of the domestic delivery services!
Just need the car now, I thanked the seller and asked them to have a word with SAIC for me, but just sent me a smiling emoji and wished me a happy new year ?

Yeah, the SE has the sold black spoiler with the lip and the badge on the outside. Trophy has the light bar shelf with the badge inside it. Pain!

Just arrived this morning from AliExpress.
Footy today so will fit tomorrow.
Also bought this little USB-C led downlight to light up the cup holder area, has several colours.

.

Fitted today, they are a lot more shiney than in the pics.

I did. I fitted the front badge overlay with no issues with a tiny bit of clear silicon and 3m sticky pads which it came fitted with but the rear will need stripping down to access the badge inside the rear light unit. Will wait till it’s a good bit warmer before looking at that.
The badges are pretty good quality too.

Had any thoughts on how to access the rear badge? I’ve installed the front one in my black trophy and it looks ace and would love to cover the back one too - doesn’t seem like an obviously easy tear down.

Not had a chance to look to be honest with how cold its been lately.

Well...... these aren't very strong. No marks or scraps on the bottom edge, so no signs of it catching on anything. Heard a knocking noise on the motorway on the way home from work tonight, stopped when I came off the motorway to see this. its actuallyripped itself apart, the screws are still in place with the mud flap still attached.



Oh well, will need to order another set! ???

Not good. At least it didn't damage the car.

Someone else told me this so I tried to remove one of the back ones. It was not like plastic strip to peel off. It was like scrapping paint and area I did remove looked no different to the steel part in finish? Have now ruined back one but as rarely used will have to live with it.

Yes it is a bit like that I just used edge of a hobby scalpel to start it off then had a bit to pull it off.

My badge arrived today. Was unsure it was going to look good on black but I’m really happy with it.

 

[AdyC]

Good to see it on a black one . i have a black on order and was thinking of doing this.The one thing i hate about the MG is the naff silver badge . I wont bother though if the back one on a trophy is a pain. I will wait and see.

Cheers

David

I have these ones too...Have you removed the protective film from the lettering (took a while to do) as the lettering on mine seems a lot shinier?

 

[pd2]

Just a small update, replacement mudflap on and black emblem turned up this morning.

 

[stevie211]

The black badge on the orange makes a big difference to the look I think ?
