When Ralph and I looked into it......it is likely the wiring loom is there......but the bulb and its holder may not be.

Quite how involved this job is I dunno.....maybe I should put a post up in the interior section

No..! ...oh no, not one of those silly scooby style mods?

[Boot Hill Bandit]

Nope we are talking about Ralphs unique MG Sport & Racing bonnet bulge as found on his ZS180. Look in the members cars section for EMS Ltd to get a better look we are working on this right now for a small run of these to be made as and when required. My car will be the guinea pig for this and pictures will become available when it is completed......probably by the summer so watch this space -> [ ]
