Its your sisters b-fried who I got the x-power splitter from the other day, was asking him if he could possibly replicate a body kit for the x power model shown above. Do you think he is capable of making a grp bonnet similar to the x power one??

If he has one to copy its dead easy, if you want one making from a std bonnet it not that hard - just time consuming.

Would depend how much he would want to make it from scratch - but yes, he could do it

I can fabricate a original steel bonnet with the scoop in steel for him but I would require him to make a grp copy but the one I fabricate maybe able to be used for a mold?? If you get a chance can you speak to him and get some ideas of a price etc and pm me please chewy.

All the attachments on the MGF come from other BL cars, the glove box is from the Morris Ital! (30 year old car). Never knew the ashtray was from a Jaguar though.
I've seen a really excessive wide X-Power bodykit which is about 2k. I'll find the link.

if you could that would be great, the 2k don't bother me as long as it is a good copy.

Just got these to replace the plain black plastic ones, these are proper brushed alloy not look a like. At only £15 I just had to get them cause they usually sell for 4 times that amount. Will get some pics when fitted to the car.

I konw I installed some alloy trim into the dash the other day but I decided to buy a 0.8mm sheet of carbon fibre and use the alloy items as a template heres is some pics. Also have a new headunit which is also shown in the pics. And just for the hell of it I took a pic of the ice frozen on my car after i had polished it the night before, it cause the ices to freeze in a nice pattern bit like galv

Nice!!!

Just spotted this on ebay its a mike saturn slick shifter, basicly reduces the throw, hye sells them for £215 on his website and seen this one on ebay for £55, so just had to have it. One problem with the mgfs and tfs is your limited to modifications as their isnt many aftermarket parts available and if their are they are expensive.

if you change ya mind with the shifter I will have it

I bought some fabricated ARB links and poly bushes from Mike Satur (33 quid). It's really the only place to get stuff like that.

Great little cars them and good fun. RWD, and if looked after wont break too much ;-)

7 seconds is no slouch either, more than enough for day to day and enough power to break traction when required (when you feel like it).

49mpg? Did i read that? If so, very good. My Z4 is currently averaging 31mpg mostly motorway.

Well have decided I want to go a bit mad with the carbon fibre theme on the interior, so as a result I have purchased some matting, resin, and releasing agent and a fibre glass kit for the moulds. Well here is a pic of the door trim mould ready for the c-fibre duplicate. Shown in the other pic is the position of the trim on the door.

Looking the part this now.

Well rear lights all fitted now
