Love the MK2 look but having had more than our fair share of MG/Rovers through our garage I can say Project drive really kicked in on anything 2003/4 onwards.
Rust, poor quality plastics and clips, everything has a cheaper feel.
Can be a bit of a pain too as so many different parts were fitted to the same models if feels like the parts bins were shuffled round the factory on a daily basis.
The Rover 200/400/800 range were bullet proof and superbly built motors from top to bottom. The 25/45/75 cars and equivilent MG's were very well built with quality materials only slightly below the previous range.
After that the MK2's of the range quality dropped considerably and many are in worse condition than their older counterparts. Whilst the styling was more modern and up to date, I dont feel they represent as good a value.
