ill admit i think the sideskirt extensions are rubbish but the rest of the car is good......i actually like the bonnet and the scoop i think it works

Because I personally don't think there is a place for that in the MG world, it has a long history, and I don't like seeing the brands reputation tarnished like this.

Good man, many get offend. It's nice to see someone with a marmite car throw it up on a public forum, knowing there will be negative comments and take it on the chin. A great example to many!

It's the civic hatchback. They never made a saloon version.

I can appreciate the work youve put in but I cant help but think the money could have been far better spent. I mean if you had put a 180 splitter and skirts on with gloss black standard straights on motobuild springs you would be onto a winner but as it stands it just looks like it has been crashed into Halfords front window and one of everything in the "rude boy" corsa section has landed on it. Sorry, just not my cuppa although if you sorted the wheels, suspension and skirts out it would look alright.

Doesn't really do it for me either but think it would look much better is the side skirts and bonnet were still trophy blue, but fair play for having the gonads to do what you have.

It's not the way I would modify a Z, but looks like the work was well done and as long as you're happy, then who cares what others think. I'm sure there are many Rover 45 owners that look at our Z's and say to themselves, "I wouldn't drive that' simply because that's not how they want their cars to look. That's not wrong, its just a different opinion. It would be pretty boring if we all had the same idea about what a car should look like. I'm sure you've had some very positive comments about your car by modifiers that are into that look and at the end of the day you have a unique car that people are talking about. I think the fact a lot of people are missing is that you are a fellow Z enthusiast.

Hello by the way.

I never said it wasn't. You have backed up my point, it's down to us to maintain the brand.

I dont believe this one is owned by an enthusiast (no offence intended), judging by how clean it is in the photos. I would say he is all about modifying.

I consider myself an enthusiast, having owned a string of MGR's, and any chances made I feel are in keeping with the brand, or performance related.
