Hi one you haven't listed but you mite have changed it, the PCV for the modified one? this is not a performance mod but an important one, the newer type does not get blocked up so stops oil spitting out of the dipstick and smoke, poor running performance and low rev's accelerating, Steve
Need some more mod ideas...
Well, i've most definately caught the modifying bug. Unfortunately i've run out of ideas!
Got some time spare before I go back to Uni, but not too much cash spare. Any suggestions?
Current mod list:
A couple of ones i've already been thinking about:
"Boomerang" spoiler -need to find a trophy blue one,
190 Brake upgrade - need to wait to see what i'm doing with my wheels,
Caliper colour - need to see if i'm getting the 190 calipers first,
Braided brake hoses - same again,
Chrome sill trims - ideally want to find a set of Rover 75 chrome ones local instead,
Air filter - got a Pipercross ready to go in at the next service
Decat - if I get an extra bonus i'll go for it, if not i'll wait for my exhaust to break
LED light kit - sounds good, but £60 is quite steep,
Laguna splitter - tempted,
MK2 rear bumper - cant find a trophy blue one
Footwell lights - Not too adept at soldering into traces on the light unit. Splicing would be possible but not sure where the connectors are?
Spring mod - no information available
Any ideas? Like I said, cheap is nice...!

That explains a lot
As you know, MG badges seem to delaminate like crazy, so I thought i'd replace mine - I removed the old (now silver!) badge and fitted this:
Unfortunately, it didn't quite fit (1mm too large) - I thought it'd be fine, so tried it anyway... mid overtake of an Audi the badge decided to fly up, over my car, over his and then end up in a ditch... looked impressive but I never found the thing again!
I bought an OEM one to replace it, but it took a while to arrive... thus why the car was badgeless for a week
But now:
I bought this badge about 6 months ago and found it didnt quite fit.... i modified the space using a soldering iron. It now sits flush...That explains a lot
