Yep, as stuy said. Turned out to be a single wire from the main loom that had become trapped behind the dahboard, and started causing havoc
Seemed a bit odd to have happened after such a short period of time though???
HIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER! Maybe a bulb upgrade, but never will I spend money to make my lights blind people lolelolelolelolelol

Quick Update folks.
Ive FINALLY managed to find an Extreme ZS Hatchback spoiler, that isnt being sold for around £150-£300.
Should hopefully receive it either end of this week, or start of next.
Only downside is that it is painted black, so I will need to spray it XPower Grey, but thats a small problem compared to actually finding one

Well, Im liking the idea of spraying it myself. Been told I can get 100% matches for XPower Grey. Only problem would be time of year. Not the best to spray something in cold and damp conditions. So depending on cost, may have it done professionally.
Heres a couple of Before and after pics, of what it should look like. Youll have seen this Matty, as its on the MG forums, but its on another 110+.
Difference is, he has the correct exhaust and exhaust surround, which Ill have myself hopefully. h, and mine has the nice 17s..not those nasty 16s. Makes all the diff

How about leaving it black? It makes it more subtle. Then waiting till the summer to paint it? Spend the paint money on an air filter for now?
I HATE cars.

IT ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES AGO !!
Couple of pics for you below. There a couple of scratches, possibly following removal. Nothing major, but theyll be sorted following a respray.
Its definately black, and it will be painted Grey, but it seems a shame. The Black has small Blue flakes, and up close looks really pretty. Anyway, here you go...

Stuy, I may take you up on that offer dude
Oh yeah, forgot to add.
Got rid of that huge/hideous Drayton Sticker in my rear Window.
I was washing and cleaning the car inside and out, and thought it had to go there and then
Oh, and Ive discovered something remarkable for your windows.
