    the mc3, is 4x100, so the cheapest way to upgrade is to strip a mgzs 180 (V6 petrol) of it's front brake's, the disk's are 282's over the 262's you have fitted, also take the suspension and rear roll bar as well as that is a very cheap way to lower it and make it more stable around the bend's.

    I changed the passenger rear door on mine not long back, not a bad job to do. you need the car jack with a rag, small screw driver's pliers hammer sure it's a 13mm socket and ratchet. open the said door, now take the hammer, and hit the door check strap pin upward's (use the pliers to hold the top of the pin to stop it disappearing) the door has a multi plug fitted, at the door, if you peal the rubber boot back you'll see the plug and latch to undo it. (its a little bitch to do and find...) now support the end of the door with the jack covered with a rag, jack it up till it's supporting it. this is where you do need a second person, slacken all 4 door bolts, get the second person to hold the door, and remove all 4 bolt's, and lift the door away. as per haynes manual, reverse the action's to reassemble. tip's on refitting the door. pay careful attention to the door fitment before you remove it. it'll help you line up the new door. support the end of the door with the jack set up to support old door, and loosely line up the door with the paint mark's. put all the bolt's in and hand tighten them, then nip 2 up with a ratchet. shut the door and see what need's to happen, remember the door hinge's can do 3 direction's of travel, up/down in/out and tilt as well. only adjust one hinge at a time, so say the door need's to go in, loosen the top hinge push in and tighten then do the same with the bottom, if it's too high or low, use the jack to adjust the door, remember to put the jack in a center of the door. hope it help's
