MG4 X Power Roll Call and mods.

New silicon key fob cover. Looks good and will protect the key fob, if I drop the bloody thing, which inevitably I will. ?
Oh, and Bright Orange (obviously) key ring. Always get this type of key ring, great for hanging your key up. ??

You will drop it.?

Absolutely! But hopefully it will Bounce.

Just been watching a few videos of the MG4 EX4 concept Rally car, very impressive. ??
Wonder if someone will eventually offer the rear spoiler for MG4 road cars.
Might be tempted if they did, think it would look Awesome in Gloss Black. ??

 

[Chrisdriving]

I worry about you Tony sometimes i really do.?
I am with you on wheels and orange key rings but the spoiler? Really!!! ?

Thoughts on this idea. I fancy a set of nice 19s on my X Power, but rather than shell out about £1,800 for wheels and good tyres, i fancy Michelin Pilot Sport 5s.
I've had a Brainwave! I've got a set of 19x8.5 ET44 5x112 alloys of my last car a 2011 Mercedes E class coupe. Which were refurbished recently, so are like new.
I would get fitted a set of 235/40/19
Chinese Ditch Finder, tyres. For about £300. And see if the alloys looked good, on the car. I've Done my homework on the 19s and in theory should fit quite easily.
(Think they would, but who knows)
And also to check if there was any fouling on the car. And in general how it drove.
If all was OK, I would then get my prefered alloys with the decent tyres.
And then flog the Merc wheels and tyres.
Should get a decent price for them, even with the Ditch Finders on.
Hope all the makes sense. ??

 

[Chrisdriving]

Sounds like a plan?.

 

[siteguru]

Or why not - after doing the testing - keep those wheels (assuming you like them anyway), put some decent rubber on them, and replace the Merc centre cap with an MG one? Same end result without the outlay for new alloys.

That's a possibility, I've already found some 75mm domed gel centres to replace the Merc ones. But there's the AMG at the edge of the wheel. Looking for some curved wheel edge gel badges, not found any yet. ??

Ah yes - hadn't spotted that. You could easily explain it away ... What car is that? Oh, it's A MG

S'pose I could put a dot, between the
A and the MG. So it would be A.MG

Bloody ingenious mate

Silver tape would have been even better

Ok, 2nd part of my plan arrived today.
Carbon Fibre Gel wheel centres.
To cover up the Merc badge. Think they look good. ??

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

You could fill that "///A bit" m8 and spray it silver?

Bit of a faff, granted.

I would probably just leave it though tbh.

Looking forward to seeing how they look on the car.?

Looked everywhere for an MG domed gel badge in 75mm. No chance!! 75mm is a big badge, I've only ever found 2 actual, car makes in 75mm, Merc and VW. So decided on Carbon Fibre style, and Black goes with owt. And it had to be domed. Could probably get a 75mm MG badge made up somewhere, but would be no good, as a flat sticker doesn't sit right on a domed surface. ??

You could always get some made up....It would be about £80 for 20 (i.e. £16 set) in 75mm domed

Decided I didn't like the Silicon key fob cover. It was a bit bulky and Got covered in fluff out of my pocket. ???
So I've got a new one, it's much better. Ok
it's a pity it's not Orange. But still looks good. I will definitely be keeping this one.
