MG Badges

[Yampiedog]

I want a complete set of matching MG badges for the bonnet, boot and centre caps. I would also like them to be either black and blue or black and silver.
I can find some things on ebay but I'm not convinced the boot ones are right profile to fit a saloon boot.
The centre caps need to fit MK2 straights.

You need to use the original boot badge & fit the ebay one onto it.
You'll need a dremmel to remove some material from the centre of the OE badge first though

Cheers Shroonie, I thought I might have to do some modifying to achieve the correct fit but you have confirmed it.

A little patience & a dremel works wonders lol.Be aware that after the plastic centre of the OE badge is Dremeled,the badge has a thin metal middle.
I had to get through this to get the correct level.
To affix the ebay item I used Araldite Rapid

How do the centre caps come off Mk2 alloys?

they pop out, easiest to do from behind with wheel off otherwise your bound to damage the plastic trying to get them out with a thin screwdriver

Cheers David, thought that might be the case...
