Very nice but not sure about the exhaust pipes - if it was mine that would be the first thing to sort

I can't take my eyes away from the god awful gap between the bonnet and bumper, does mine look this bad?!

Less said about those exhausts the better

Gorgeous paint though!

What is it with people who fit these naff big bore exhausts?

It is a gorgeous colour although I think it's one of those cars that you couldn't use everyday - not least for the fuel economy but pick up a parking dent or a scrape and you are looking at a heck of a paint job to put right - plus the lacquer is blistering on the roof?

And for asking just over £19k you think someone could have spend a couple of quid and renewed the MG badges on the grille and boot lid plinth.

No it wouldn’t! It would make your ears bleed, I had zero’s on my V8 and it resonated like hell!

Horrible on a long journey.
