Re: WANTED: Tonneau Cover

OK, so i am looking for a replacement Tonneau Cover, as mine has the foam gone, and it covers the car in small brown bits. The existing does not have the flapy bit on the back, can i fit one with the flapy bit on the back ?

Re: Whats this

I agree. I still don't have one in the base of the oil filler, I was hoping the missing one would turn up after moving her, but sadly not.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?

Went for first MOT since getting her, and replacing Head gasket.

Failed :cry:

But, only on rear nearside brake disk condition and low pads. Considering she has been in a field for 3 years, not bad. :)
