Its that time of year. Just wondered what was on peoples' MG wishlists for Christmas? Either cheap or expensive! I'm going to ask for a few cheap trim items and hope for the best! Seat belt escutcheon and tidy from MS, leather MS gearbox gaitor/ handbrake gaitor, maybe gear knob. If mum chips in with some cash i may stretch to a new radiator and ss pipes! (currently a good deal at MS)

I'm pretty happy with my MGF and there is not a lot I would change.

I was smitten by the MG Tigress .....



However I suspect it would be slightly out of my budget, perhaps a project for retirement to construct a copy :yesnod:

If I had the space I would like to get another F or maybe a TF.....

:evil: A Nitrous Oxide kit with a Red button, which has a flip cover over it ....




A Blue soft top hood would be nice....


Some custom made seats something like the ones ccj has...



( see this thread for details ) would be nice....

There are lots of shiny bits I think look ok but I'm on the side of 'less is more', subtle alterations..... yes ok I put white wheels and Vintage Racing style stripes on my car, but besides that everything else was subtle changes.

Having briefly thought about this, along with the other commitments I have over the coming weeks with Christmas and a wedding, I think I need to treat my MGF to a little something this Christmas so I'm going to give her a pair of new badges on her wings....



Shssssh don't tell her ;)

Dead easy: New Seats and a VVC head conversion. Probably will end up with some socks and a new shirt again, that's how it goes in our house.

I must admit I love those seats! Swap the blue for red... Out of my price range for now though!

Having examined Clive's seat personally, I can confirm it is gorgeous. As is the passenger seat, of course! :thumbsup: :P

David, these uprated brakes you speak of appear to be as mystical as Santa's elves, no, sorry, correction people claim to have seen elves

I'm off to Vegas soon. I may bump into Elvis.






Oh..."Elves"...never mind.

As for my wish list, I hope that my hardtop arrives in time for Christmas.
Next week my new snow tires go on my stock MPi wheels so I may pick up a set of VVC wheels
to repaint in time for the spring wheel swap. I would go for 16 inchers but my Toyos only have a couple of thousand miles on them so the big wheels will have to wait till those wear out.
