Andy's Reborn MGF

Post by TimM » Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:36 pm

Andy & Alex popped in to Brooklands this morning on their way home from collecting their MGF from MGF Reborn in Bournemouth having undergone an extensive rebuild and modification. Despite the raindrops it certainly looked very good and we managed to get some photos despite the weather. You can read more about the car in next months Safety Fast.

It's only my personal opinion but I would lose those blue LEDs- they make it look Chavvy. The rest looks nice.

The LEDs can be turned on and off, it's just a bit of fun. If you don't like the LEDs your gonna hate the lasers.

It doesn't have to many lights at the moment, perhaps when I sort them out we can photograph it again. Depending on what time I get home from work tomorrow we may come down to The Ship so might see you there.

Hope Andy doesn't mind me answering this for him, but the back bumper is Mike Satur/ Motobuild F-One (as are the side sill extensions), and the front bumper is the NAC/SAIC TF (LE500), with a TF Coupe concept-style splitter :)
