Hatch spoiler could be interesting as I dont recall Ive ever seen one done before.
May be worth a try.

Ah fair play Pete, I dont think Ive ever seen pics of either of the cars in full before so thought would ask

Well the to-do list has begun,
I've taken all the tacky stickers off.

Much better! (Needs a new MG badge though IMO)

MG6 anyone?

And the next mod has begun:

That's all for today!

If I see an XPG hatch spoiler I'll offer it up to see what its like

Definitely sounds like a good purchase mate.

Looks a good buy.

There is a plastic polish that the detailers use to shine up the headlights. They have a plastic lacquer that gets pitted and goes cloudy.

So should come back up, with a bit of TLC.

I'll give it a look into.
I was gonna try some maguiares compound on them.
If that fails ill buy some and attempt a projector conversion and take my time with it!

Good little purchase. Lip spoiler is best mate on a mk 2 saloon.

Update number 2:

Converted the rear windows to electric ones today.
I originally gor them for my Mk1 but it didn't have the loom as it was an early model.

All front switches in and working.

Mk1 door cards to go in tomorrow after they have been cleaned.

I also took the opportunity to sound deaden the door while i had the door cards off.

Interior pics tomorrow once the cards are on

Good buy.

I can't see why the lip spoiler suites the mk2 better than the extreme spoiler, how can it be more grown up when the mk2 has the body kit.

While you are swapping bits don't forget the seat backs, glove box and under bonnet sound insulation.

petet16 · 08-03-13, 06:23 PM

mk2's already have the under bonnet sound deadening, and unless it's an early mk1 the seat backs and glove box will be the same as mk2 ones
