Been having a bit more of a play, today:

First of all I removed all the Rover badges from the car, as well as the dealer sticker on the boot, and fitted the new MG and ZS badges:

Then I wanted to fit my 17"s. The Rover alloys had knackered tyres, so I decided I may was well swap them and get new tyres fitted to my 17"s when it goes for MoT.

First of all though I had to unwrap the unused, unopened tool kit! Just goes to show how pampered the car was!

Just having the alloys on makes a huge difference IMO:

I've also fitted one ZS rub strip as I've only got one so far!

Exterior mods done for the day I switched my focus to the interior:

Fitted an MG wheel and airbag (the Rover one was plastic!) swapped the dash trim (managed to break the passenger side airvent-eBay here I come!) and also swapped the gearshift surround and gaiter, fitting my XPower gearknob at the same time. Couldn't do the heater surround since I need to remove the Rover CD player to swap the heater surround for my technical finish one. Next plan will be to swap the dial faces etc. for the MG ones Taphouse sent me...

Still loads to do but I feel it looks an awful lot better already, and I'm enjoying doing bits to it. Just need to lose the beige interior!
