MG4 X Power Roll Call and mods.

Aah ?, assumed you must of run a lead with type 2 plug on the end but you're just running a standard 3-pin extension lead from that then? Did you have to doing anything to protect it from the elements?

I have one of these for charging but you could use it for V2L too https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09878XD4X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I've had another thought (sounds danderous!) but suppose could utilise a normal type 2 charge lead plugged & locked into the vehicle and then push that female type 2/3-pin adaptor over the male (charger end) of the cable, where its tucked-out of the way?

You don't 'need' to protect it from the elements, only submersion would be an issue and even then it would only trip out.

But if it is submerged me thinks bigger problems are afoot! ?

I've got a post on here with pictures (don't ask me where?) ((Edit:found it)) with my adapter and extension lead plugged in, in the torrential rain.
All night, V2L- ing my off grid battery bank.

I V2L every other day during the winter come rain or shine and have never had a problem.

If it makes you feel better 'safer'? covering it up then go ahead, but I can assure you that the adapter and charging port have both been designed with the weather in mind.

Ebay V2L cable

Has anyone bought one of these from this supplier and does it work (please?)

P.S. Apologies to myself for being OFF TOPIC.

The first mod I made was to paint the brake caliper covers black. I know many like them orange but I was'nt a fan and prefer to stay "under the radar" in Stealth mode as much as possible . ???

The second mod was to get a black MG badge for the front ? :-

The third mod was to fit LED internal lights which made a huge difference and well worth doing IMHO?? :-

After that I also got some of those excellent "Rubber" floormats for the Winter months :-

So currently looking like this. Have to say the front suspension seems to have settled down a bit lower after 2000 miles and looks better for it. ?? :-

Got details of the source of the rubber mats? Ta.

Might be the first m8, but it will not be your last! ??

If you use Waze for navigation on AA, Carplay or on your phone you can have a little car of your choice in colour, obviously green looks the best but I think they have orange as well.

You just need an MG watch to go with the strap

Nice, but wouldn't be able to read the time. ? That's why I got that one, nice simple watch, with BIG clear numbers.
So I can see it at a glance. ??

What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

Thought this would be a good long term thread to add any accessories we buy for our XPower's After seeing Dr Andy Perry's Xpower badges I though I'd get one - not sure where I'll put it yet though ! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005482617625.html?

Nice. Handy for when you loose your key so whoever finds it knows which car it belongs to so they can wait by it and hand it back when you return.

Not even had me X Power a week, and already getting itchy (modding) feet.
Fifteen/52 wheels are having a September autumn (fall) sale.
I really like these wheels, should look stunning on my motor. So seriously thinking of these.
Fifteen/52 Tarmac Evo alloys in White.
19x8.5 ET45.

Could look like this when fitted and lowered.

Normal price for The 4 Wheels, Centre nut spanner and 4 centre bore reducers,
73.1mm to 57.1mm is. £1008 sale price is £757.
Finger is at the ready, but got until 30th September to ponder. ??

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

Ooo
Suits you Sir! ?

Needs that drop though m8.

Seeing as you don't have the vibes, you should definitely go for it. ?

I've not seen this anywhere on here before? (not saying it hasn't, I just haven't seen it)

It's a shame youtube can't translate the dialogue.

Track Lap starts at 4:23.

Thanks for posting - hadn't seen that before.

I do note the much better, non-standard Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres and the suspicious lack of roll in the corners so very much doubt the suspension was standard x-power either

Good lap though.

But Google can translate the transcript into pigeon English. A time of 1:56:414 puts the XPower in some pretty good company for lap times.
