How is it, drive F every work day for past 5 months and see 1 TF, go to work in Mrs' car, 2 Fs within 1/2 mile of my house.... ?

...so i went out and bought some more... Trophy/Freestyle front splitter/spoiler arrived. Now of course have to paint it the correct colour and ponder, whether to sell the K&H style one or not after I've put trophy on (or stick it back on....) Also, bought some brighter red leather dye to see if it ...

Sorry to hear this,

Silly prices for OE cats, has made buying cheap cars to sell cat (and a few parts) and scrap them a thing, guess if it's got any value it has that 'money for nothing' value to a thief.

Eventually got this fitted too.... a couple of snapped bolts, only one side replaced with poly bush and new bracket, the bigger 'cat saver' nuts and bolts fitted and a bit paint removed from bumper but hey ho... noise on way to work this morning was nicer...

Apparently it's carbon fibre.... not wood.... now wonder what red carbon fibre vinyl might look like given that they have plastic nuts I can undo to remove them rather than those dodgy clips that snap the posts off.... but for now the colouring of the interior continues..... 20210801_123158.jpg 2021...

I guess it's what I've undone... removed the spoiler....

Some interior upgrades, let's see if you can catch them all

There's no before and after spot the difference?

Not so much as done, but lined up to do.... (ordered new bracket)

Well they look nearly the same shade on the photo, shame that looking at them they are quite different.... but there's my 'new' handbrake gaiter (which matches the steering wheel)

Trying to refurb red and black wheel for the F...

Thanks for the replies Nigel and James.
I’ll look up to see where my nearest hydragas service centre is.
Best wishes

Did you get it sorted?

Hi Mick,

There's a Rover Ex Part dealer https://www.turnbullmotors.com/ in Washington, there's also MGR Blaydon, and MG Rover spare Teeside at Billingham, rovetec at Stockton....

I'm just Low Fell so not far from Washington. Sorry to hear about car, but glad it's back

Yeah going to paint it, see what I think (is a spare)...

So who else started with the plan to carefully open up the the little plastic clips and gently remove the pins, but ended up with the thought process, nobody will see the underside when it's fitted, I can even glue them in so place screwdriver in center of each one and hit it with hammer?

That does look good

Correction, mine are both like your top pic...

Thank you, didn't think it was right

Of course next question is, is it correctable?

Should both sides be equal?

I think it might sit too far back, and not align properly with the body work (probably something to do with a F spoiler on a TF bootlid), so I'm thinking take spoiler off, rubber bung the holes, then... Option 1 - leave it at that, it's a TF bootlid probably does what I want it to anyways (oh and ma...
