Tried to cure the rear bumper sag, got a good results in the end however I could do with a new rear bumper as sometime in its life the car has had a tiny knock enough to pop in the bumper on one corner (which I had realised ages ago).

Made some support brackets to replace the plastic ones MGr used and Rimmers want £80 for (only used one ofcourse).

Allot of muck behind bumper

So cleaned it

Side clip fix

End Result after a car wash trip

The bumper support bracket for the drivers side are £80 ye.

I also adjusted the mounts under the rear lights adding foam pads and bending them upwards.

So not a great deal has been done for a while, after discovering a cam carrier oil leek after POL that has been fixed and a touch of tarting up the engine bay has occurred.
Currently not got any photos as I've not quite finished.

Anyway bought a Dark Ice engine bay kit at POL fitted it all except the coolant cap cover as they informed everyone they made a ZS bonnet stick up on the corner.
I formulated a plan so I could fit the cap cover pertinently, so after a long week at work Friday night I took a Dremal to the underside of the bonnet and made a hole in the under bracing.
The hole ended up a bit bigger than needed but it does what I wanted it to do.

MOT next month got a split CV boot and a back box with two 2p sized holes blown out the bottom to sort. Got a full CV joint kit waiting to be fitted but might let the local garage do it due to time restrictions.

Also long over due a proper clean =[

Nice fresh MOT certificate XD
Changed the Cv joint (only needed a boot but had to be taken off to place it so changed the lot) and back box before the test and it passed with no advisories!

Got some upgrades to do before next MOT now!

Good news, well done, shows proper preperation is worth it.

What upgrades do you have planned.
