that is one very nice mb sure pretty much every mb owner on here is jealous.

No real updates on the MB3 so far, hoping to get the alloys on today though! Just waiting for Halfords to let me know when I can collect the trolley jack I ordered. Also had a little meet on Sunday in Northampton with some friends. Did 540 miles in my MB3 that day and it didn't miss a beat once. It's just developed a rattling noise under the car which I believe is due to a broken exhaust mount. Took the wheel trims off because I thought I'd have my alloy wheel nuts that morning. Nopes. Friends' Paseo, 325i and EK4. Didn't know the EG driver. Dirty car club. I'll get pics up once the alloys are on and the car has had a wash.

Vti lip and panda/detangoed lights will be on their way next week! Can't wait!

Awesome, I have a bag with 8 bulbs that would fit the clock, I can send you a few (incase any don't work) so you can replace it, you'll need a blower resister pack which can be had from eBay for less than a tenner! An MGZS 180 rear anti roll bar would help with the roll the deck has Might be worth sending 10000rpm a message about the lighter and ash tray, he breaks M's for parts or you could try ebay again for those? Looks a good base from what you've described!

So, first rant. Well only rant. Friggin halfrauds.. Autoglym shampoo conditioner, £9.99 for 1l .. Bit pricey but not the worst I've seen. BUT next to it on the shelf, 2.5l .... Wait for it... For £14.99!!! Do they really think we're that stupid!?! So rant over, got that and a nice new microfiber wash mit. Off we go. Before; So after a quick clean. And I mean a very quick clean. Was only out there for an hour and a bit. Plus I started to loose the light and the temperature dropped causing it to condensate before I had a chance to dry with the second micro fibre cloth (Grrr) But here are a couple of after shots. Came up pretty well I think. Although the paint is in DESPERATE need of a polish. It was proper nails down a black board feeling when going over the roof and bonnet. Loads of swirls, but majority should work out over a couple of polishes. There are maybe 8 'dings' I've identified, so fingers crossed a ding master company will be at japfest next year.. But despite the condensation, I think she's scrubbed up pretty well for a first clean. Quick once over with a little break cleaner and a rag on the bay too Keen for your thoughts chaps!!

Better to regret seeing a lemon than missing out on a gem!

Update again got this H brace a few weeks ago fitted today

good job your getting all the little niggly things done I just ordered some leds for my dash cause driving me mad bulbs keep goin.

nice car mate good base for a project. look forward to seeing this around

Excellent news a new deck to the civic5 family... Look forward to some pics of her when you got her cleaned up and ready for her first photo shoot...

You do have form in that area.

Not the same pattern, either silver or carbon, I'm assuming you have the black ash in yours so you'll probably want to swap it anyway. Check out one4all's thread, he's just changed to the silver in his and it looks nice.

Nice one glad you now have her and like her

Love that mg trim btw. Much nicer. Really modernises it

MG ashtray is a complete cover, so the lighter is inside. MB6 arb is around 4mm thinner than the 180's but as the deck doesn't have one to start with it's an upgrade.

Yeah it wasn't the best. In fairness, it was only the last kinda 5 miles that took over half hour each way!! Today I hope if the weather stops being shit!! Need to sort out wheels I want on. Then look at having the tyres changed over. Induction kit can go straight on too

Sounds like you've found a cracker, little niggles are easy to sort really and the missing ashtray is a good excuse to upgrade to the mgzs one, much nicer. If you can't find an mg arb, give us a shout I have an MB6 one with brand new (oem) drop links, you can have it for a reasonable price.

so my fly eyes have come now need a nice day to fit them.

Ooh nice mate. Look forward to some day shots. Seems you've done well for a grand tho. What a car for that money hey.

I am really liking the interior trim, that silver brightens everything up! And top job on fixing the exhaust

Some dam fine work on this thread hubert. Keep it up dude !!

Sounds tasty mate, nice.

Thanks mate! makes it all worth while when people say things like that! thanks mate!

after months of thinking i'm going NA then followed by months of reading parts upgreads. i came across turbo charging and super charging, which would be better and as a daily,as something that hasn't been done. i decided the best was super charging,then i came across the VOTECH SuperCharger and the JACKSON SuperCharger then more reading and i came across the Procharged SuperCharger which runs like a turbo but cooler which means more Power

FINALLY!!!!! you have waited tooo long before getting yourself a thread on here Hubert with this epic car

You've gone quiet Paul. You got the sw*nky pig discs on yet?
