What is the original colour of MGF Abingdon wheels please?

I have been told MNH Silver Sparkle metallic but I am not so sure

Thank you

Greenstuff overrated..?

A suggestion that Pagid are 'best'

Any views on this would be appreciated. Thank you

I read this:

Have you not tried the tennis ball method :
Cut a small hole in a ball large enough to cover the key hole and then while you hold ball in place push it in as far and as fast as you can

Thanks for the help Rob - much appreciated

All done purchased and fitted for just over 80 quid.

A marked difference - improved response - well worth it.

Thank you

Make sure you do a throttle position reset afterwards, this is done on the car and not via a T4 session.

Thank you. It goes in next Thursday.

My mechanic is excellent but I will still give him Rob's excellent instructions.

Thanks guys - just ordered (plus 25 quid to fit)

Thanks Rob - sorry, one last point - if I would notice the difference 'immediately' that is surely a reason to fit it...

Isn't it?

Thanks lads

Rimmer Bros reckon an increase in power of 1-2BHP

That's not much but as you say the throttle response would be worth it...

So, to a layperson/novice like me- I would notice a difference?

Lastly, I can see how much they cost but what would the labour charge to fit be approx please?

...to a MGF Abingdon MPI [1998]

- is it worth it?

I found this interesting:

So we have a consistent approach then...?

Mine is a nice tight fit when attaching but perhaps too tight and I need to pull to attach (and worried about tearing it) So, two eyelets (one on each 'end') and a press stud in the centre Is there a' best' order? Eyelet, stud, eyelet? or Stud, eyelet, eyelet? or Eyelet, eyelet, stud? Thanks for you...

A wise move - I have ditto and am very impressed

Everything is working fine regarding gear change etc. However, after I have depressed the clutch to change gear and have removed my foot from pedal it sticks and doesn't return immediately to its correct position - then after a second or so it springs back up and returns to it's maximum height as pe...

Thanks Rob and Geoff - very helpful

Geoff: I used to love the 1100 - my dad had a couple in his day. Also an A40.

He also had a Maxi, with what I recall, a terrible gearbox. I learnt to drive in the Maxi 46 years ago!

Those were the days

Has anybody got an Optimate permanent connection fitted?

If so where have you placed the connector - inside the car or under the bonnet?
