Blimey got Meg's off eBay for £20!

 

Was that the stick on one?

 

Nope Mk2 OEM

 

I asked as I have just bought a new one on e-bay for £40.00 +£10.00 p=p looks like Igot a good deal

 

What the Mk2? £40 is a good deal matey.. will look great - i just want the walnut door cappings to finish things off.. I'm getting vent covers made up for £18 to match.

yep the mark 2 the genuine rover part also last week got the door cappings off e-bay £44.00. sometime ago got the walnut steering wheel for £85.00 and the hand brake sleeve for £20.00 hope thats the lot

 

Ah so it was you who got the cappings!! I bought the alloy from the same guy and was waiting for the caps then my broadband went down just before auction end! LOL small world! I got a Range Rover P38 handbrake cover for a fiver as its the same one.... and a Mini MPi walnut wheel as it had more walnut on it than the MG one! That cost me a tenner as it was 'damaged' turned out to be a leather flap missing on back that I covered with black leather! lol

I also added a walnut heater panel from a Rover 200 (Concerto shape) which involved a bit of fettling but looks nice!

picking them up from the post office tommorow hope they are as good as he said lol

 

They look great when they are on - I have brished Alloy ones on Meg at mo, look on but prefer Walnut - hence wanting the vents done too... thought £18 wasnt bad for them....

 

does not sound bad at all let me know what they come out like .all I really need to get now is the glass rear screen but at the moment they are scarce lol .

 

Yea after 'someone' bought the last 6! Here's the wood heater panel form the Rover 216:

that looks really nice did you pick it up on e-bay

 

Which seller on ebay are you guys watching? I can see some kits that look like things you stick on rather than being real wood substitutes...


cheers

there are some kits which stick on but the one i bought was the genuine mg walnut consul which occasionally come up on e-bay just have to keep an eye out .luckily this one finished at a time when everyone was at work and I was the only bidder

 

Yea, what you see is actually a mixture of Rover 216 heater control (front and interior light spreader plus knob 'holes' rotflmao, plus the back of a standard F/TF (modified to take the R216 front bits), with MY05 TF heater knobs....

It took a few hours work as I had to actually cut the silver dials to fit the R216 knob 'holes' as I wanted the MY05 knobs to sink into the fascia rather than stand on top like they normally do! So I had to use a craft knife and be VERY careful, then seal the cut edges with a silver pen! All very Heath-Robinson sounding I know but it worked well, and meant the knobs light up really well now they get more light form the R216 light spreader, which is so much better than the MG effort! I just wish I'd thought to do a 'How To' on it while I was doing it! Maybe I'll do another and do it then... heheh.

nice one send me e-mail if you do the how to

 

The air vent ones I'm getting are stick on but the guy assures me he can do a good match - unfortunately no proper wood air vents were available! Maybe R216 ones might fit... might investigate that!
