YES, good man
The hood cover is listed as an essential safety item in the MGF manual, the reason given is that it prevents to hood flying up in the case of sudden deceleration. The Mk1 hood cover does not have a flap that tucks under the boot lid, rather it has a wire bead sewn into a seam around the back of the cover - this bead needs to be inserted into the slot at the base of the hood where it meets the bodywork. The ends of the bead have elasticated tabs on them with press studs - these fasten to the press studs in the tops of the door jamb. This is a tricky process and the skill takes some time to master - most people used this as an excuse to not bother with the hood cover and this caused the Rover group legal problems as it is listed as a safety item. Rover redesigned the cover (the Mk2) with the boot tongue and dispensed with the wire bead.

Oki doki, it's not really a car question. But it is MG related.
How many forums can you list that specifically relate to our cars? I'd like to know where the competition is at?
