Wow, only just found this Thread and love the MG7 look. Not too keen on the Wheels, but the rest of the Car is yummy.

Yesterday I had a small accident: I backed up while looking in my mirrors and on my rear camera screen. Unfortunately I did not see that there was a big step down of approximately 40 cm. I heard a very hard scraping sound when I went over the ridge and the back wheels were not touching ground anymore. Since I was alone and I saw nobody around, I tried to pull out while steering sidewards and, very slowly, I succeeded with a terrible scraping noice. When inspecting the step down, made from stone (like going down from a high side walk to street level) I saw that many stones had come off. I really was afraid that I had damaged my car badly!
When driving away carefully in the beginning, I noticed nothing wrong and after picking up speed, all seemed to be fine.
Just to be sure I had the car inspected by the MG workshop and we saw that only a heatshield (protecting the car from the exhaust pipe) was partially ripped off. Except for a few surficial scratches, no other damage could be detected! The replacement of the heat shield and the inspection was 300 yuan (about 30 Pound Sterling). I left as a very happy man and was grateful for this strong car!

Damn i like that chrome grill and the heater panel with the new display and the shifter plate!!

Thomas · 8th May 2013, 20:10

The heater panel has been fitted by members before as well as the grille

Would love to have that heater panel as well!
But what is the part number, and indeed... Where could you order them?

This looks so like a 75..

are spares available? like the IPK (instrument panel) as yours appeaers to have the same dispaly as mine which has lines in it. I would be very interetsted in finding about the diagnostic system they plug into the car, as its about time they became avaialbe from china, and in fact I am very mystified as to why they have not, it's about time a cheap T4 from china became avaiable!

Your car is stunning, I am very jealous.

As others have said I'd like that heater panel too
