Have also included before and after pictures for comparison...

Absolutely stunning smokey, sits very well! Loving them rims still.





One thing that caught my eye there, the 2 off red wires to the right of the centre console, spoils the view. I take it they are the starter wires?

[Smokey]

[stamford]

Perfect! :D

[carl-mgzs]

your car looks really good... brilliant colour too... does anyone know if it is easy enough to put the centre console from the mk2 into the mk1?

[Southern Storm]

This WAS a really nice MG BEFORE you got your sticky mits all over it!!!!!!!!!!

[Southern Storm]

NOW its a complete Stunner LOL
Credit due chief. Wish I had a mk2 now.

[Smokey]

Thanks for all the great comments guys, am loving the car and how unique it has become!
Its just nice to think that my idea's are liked by more than just myself!
Still got plenty on my list to be getting done though...as soon as funds allow!!

[Southern Storm]

Quick question, your avatar shows 3 very nice accessories that really show the cars 'potential'. Don't suppose Ralph can supply them can he?

[Boot Hill Bandit]

What 3 accessories are we talking about?? I am sure Ralph can get hold of most things people want. You know the number I am sure........01634 388999 knowing him he is still at the garage now lol

Smitten Jim

[Southern Storm]

They look to be fairly tall blonde and quite curvy. If he can supply them then I am sure there are a few legal issues but put me down for half a dozen. Ta :happy:

:rofl:

[stamford]

I can't see them sticking to the bonnet though, might be a bit slippery.........................with any lick, oops luck ;)

[Southern Storm]

As long as they don't scratch it, I can handle them being a bit slippery.

[Smokey]

lmao...how did this thread turn so smutty?!?!
nice to see you again though Jim, missing your banter mate!

Smitten Jim

[markyzs180]

looks the mutts smokey...luvvin the white wheels...i really can't get into the current trend for black ones...


1 question tho....where did u put your start button ...I REALLY want one !!!

[RudeDogg1]

realy nice car, but my only prob is i realy dont see the point in start buttons but thats just me each to there own

[markyzs180]

realy nice car, but my only prob is i realy dont see the point in start buttons but thats just me each to there own


I really can't see the point of them either !!!!........

just gotta have one though......:smart:

[RudeDogg1]

like dont u still have to put the key in the egnition? which kinda cancels out the point of the button lol

[markyzs180]

yeah i know, i know...there really is no point...but i still want one :thumbsup:

[RudeDogg1]

lol "pats ur head"

[markyzs180]

lol "pats ur head"


hehehe....40 going on 17 ....!!!!

[Smokey]

yeah, it purely is a fun factor for me and I guess others too!

[markyzs180]

yeah, it purely is a fun factor for me and I guess others too!


yep, just for fun !!!

back to original question smokey...wheres yours ???

[Southern Storm]

The pointlessness of it stops me putting it on mine. However I might just get remote start. Got that on the Scirocco and its lovely on a cold morning getting in a nice warm car.
Where are people putting their start buttons?

[Maxfly]

lovely motor first of all!!! some start buttons have put where the ciggie lighter was, others in front of the gear lever. I want one too, had one in the zr to me it's a must have gimmick!! Even cars that come with start buttons usually have to have the key in the ignition e.g. civic. You don't need it, but then really you don't need a lot of things cars have nowadays! Leccy windows? why, my arms works fine, rains sensing wipers....i can tell when there is rain on the windscreen ta very much!! :D:D

[arwilson80]

The 3 places i have seen people put the start buttons are:-

- In the ciggy lighter (i like this one best as when you close the ash tray it's hidden)
- down on the flat piece of the centre console between the gear lever and the little pocket
- to the left or right of the steering wheel in one of the blanks.

[Glen290]

Stunning, love that colour and all the mods you have done suit it well...good job there matey..

[Smokey]

thanks very much! and my switch is in the lighter socket as shown...

[markyzs180]

Thanks for posting the pic smokey, good place to put it and saves drilling big holes in your plastic! Pic shows what a good job you've made of painting the trim as well, might be another mod on the list for me...:hmmm:
