I know that this may be a silly question but...

Will the later version of door card fit in a Mark 1 MGF?

Thanks.

In a word - yes.
Obviously you need the newer door handle surround as well.

Thanks David

Another option to consider

Meg's a Mk1 with Mk2 door panels:

Wow - I like those

Was it difficult wire in the tweeters?

Where did you get the speaker rings?

Thanks.

That's a lovely door panel love the colour and the door pocket!!

those are standard tweeters laz maybe they weren't fitted to mk1 MGFs? the speaker rings are available at Mike Satur

on the question of door cards, I heard clips break a lot when rmeoving the cards is it easy to find clips? thanks

Thanks for the compliments.

The speakers have no rings.... I CHEATED! I masked the grille area with masking tape and then sprayed the edge area with silver spray paint... looks as good as the speaker rings (almost) and at a fraction of the cost!

Well you made a good job of cheating! I thought they were Mike Satur rings.

I presume you detached the speaker/tweeter covers from the door card to spray them.

I have a very late 2000 (registered 2001) model MGF and i think i have the Mk2 door cards... is that normal?

Yeah.
The Mk2 F is also called the MY2000. So the change came in late 1999/2000. The interior was upgraded, and the engine got the Mems3 treatment. Externally the windscreen surround became body-coloured instead of Black.

You can see the development of the car more completely here.

are the clips that hold the door cards in place easy to find?
