Unique MGF wheels

It's hard to be different.. Limited choice of wheels in 95.25 PCD..

Adapter kits available widen the choice to 4x100..

But I think I can be safe at a meet/show that no other F or TF will have these on

Supra wheels.. 17".. On my custom flanges and custom front n rear brakes

The Merc SL500 Brembo callipers on the 333mm discs look huge behind these 17s

The rear 312 mm vented Audi TT Quattro front discs with the Hi Spec 2 pot callipers (complete with Jag S type electric hand brake) fill the holes much better than the 240mm solid bottle tops

I'll have to see the finished car to be convinced the red wheels work, but WOW!...Those Brakes!!!

I think my personal preference would be silver, but on this build, it's very much in keeping I think. And yes, they certainly show off the monster brake discs don't they?

Now that's a set of stoppers that would warrant a GF Meter.

Also tried black spokes.. White rim

Brakes ain't that big..

Only 333x32 fronts.. 312x25 rears.. Both front and rears are vented

Merc SL500 Brembos on the front.. Hi spec 2 pots rear

I think I prefer that to red?

Still got a few options left to try Rob..

I like the black spokes white rim..

But will try the other options first

I think the red looks great, and it would be consistent with the rest of your quite stunning build.

When will this fabulous car be ready??

Such an impressive build- I took ages last night to re-read your entire build posts again. Would love to see this car close up when it's done.

Not a bad job list of remaining things to do either, when completed is there another project on the horizon?? What's next??

Weirdly I'm going completely the opposite route and returning my car to absolutely bog standard exactly as it left the factory for MG90- it's only mildly modified to begin with but only because it's going to be in the timeline with 90 other period correct MG's, so would somebody shoot me please as I'm starting to sound like an MG purist which will never do at all!

That said, completely in awe of this build, as far as the wheels are concerned, go red...you know you want to!

I went the same way with my 1971 Lambretta. Had it 'custom' styled for many years before going back to factory spec but with an uprated engine. I like the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' idea even though it is only a hair-dryer.

Stuart.. Next project will be my house.. 1968 chalet style 4 bed detached.. In desperate need of dragging into the 21st century

I've added one custom (no surprise there) 5 foot x 2foot skylight to the 16ft high hallway ceiling.. Plan to add another 3 in the kitchen.. Balcony on the main bedroom (home made steel affair) plus add 2 en suites.. Those who know me well know I never stop.. I don't do sitting down lol

Got two bedrooms downstairs which will each get French doors to let light in and give access to patio'd area

Property has a lot of scope for development etc.. Got a 13'x19' lounge which over looks my secure front garden (1000 sq ft stoned area behind gates) so plan to add 3 large folding doors.. So I can sit (unlikely for long) in the lounge and look at the finished car from inside..

Long term plan with the house.. Unlike the car.. Is do it up and sell it at a profit.. Then move to something smaller with little/no mortgage

You should do a Chris Evans and have indoor parking to admire your motors!

I might do if the weedy brakes fail
