- MG4 Trophy ER
We're just finalising the purchase of an MG4 Luxury here in Spain (which in UK is the Trophy) and have been quoted around €1000 (approx £870) for it. I thought this was a bit steep, but maybe it is in the ball park after all? Has anyone else had any quotes for costs to fit one, please?
As an aside, here in Spain fitting an item like this needs to be done by an approved technician and the item added to the vehicles ITV certificate. This is a kind of technical specifaction with engine & chassis specs, tyre sizes, and other accessories recorded which then become subject to the ITV (equiv. MOT) inspections. As a result fitting items like this yourself is pretty problematical and, to be honest, not worth the candle most times. Even fitting fog lights can be an issue - anything that wasn't an original option by the manufacturer falls into this as well as fitting them post purchase. Adding solar panels to a motorhome or caravan now comes into this so it can be real minefield. So.. if you wants it you gotta pay for it!
