I'll tell you on one condition.

You don't tell the missus.

From what I can remember . . .

MG7 Chrome surround and Grilles £200

V8 Bumper £80 (from e-bay)

Respray £115 (Cash)

MG Badge £16 (ZS Badge)

Slam Panel bit £20 (from Lakeside Mini's)

Other odds 'n' ends £30

I suppose its about £500 in total, however I could sell the bumper I took off. Its in VGC and I would sell with fogs, indicators and grills. I think these can sell for £200+ so all in all, about £300.

Excellent

I have one of these bumpers,I was going to fit to the 75 but when I got the ZT the notion kind of wore of like the ZT front to much.
But that has kind of relight my fire.(no take that jokes).

WOW, that so looks so

Yella Fella · 24th October 2011, 18:38

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

I have not stopped there. The MG badge that you see in the pictures was simply placed in there for the pictures to be taken.

I have now fitted an MG6 badge. . .

It took quite a bit of trimming, but I think it suits the front end. Pics to follow when its daylight!

No. The MG6 Badge is way way too big for the original grill/bumper. Also i think it would look out of place on the original.

It suits the MG7 Grill (IMO) because there is already chrome and it just about fits the space available.

Well done sir!, what a transformation. Looks fantastic

I applaud the effort, looks a top job, but for me it has taken the sporty edge off it... looks a bit more 75 now for me.
