A few months ago my wife Caroline bought a MGF, she got it of a one of the .org peeps , the car was known on there as Nugget I believe.

Well Nugget has had a few mods done to her since Caroline got her and I can defiantly confirm she is being well looked after .

Below is a shot of Caroline and her baby at MG’s in the park, the car is still as bought apart from new rear brakes and some bits and bobs



First major change was getting the wheels done for Caroline’s birthday which isn’t till August !

Here’s Caroline collecting her car with the nice newly refurbed wheels, done by The Wheel Specialist at Birmingham.



Caroline then decided she wanted to change the interior ! So off she went looking on Ebay for a new lighter interior.





Interior purchased it needed a good clean but while she was doing that I started ripping out the old one, never done it before but I love a challenge, 90 minutes later…..



Oh I hasten to add why on earth did I decide to do this work on the hottest weekend of the year so far……!

But it looks great, and Caroline is well chuffed with her knew car look, and has now named her PANDORA

Have to admit...
I wasn't so sure on the black airbag blank, binnacle and door cards at first glance last night but I'm glad I slept on it because with a clear head this morning it looks bloody brilliant - well done!
I bet your both well chuffed with the results.

How to personalise your car in a few days.. :) and what a great job you did too. :broon:

It has always been a good looking little car but it's even more of a head turner now. Your 'Mrs' should be proud of you. Well done and thanks for the great pics.

A few close up shots of the wheels would be nice. Seeing as how they seem to be changing one or two opinions. ;)

I loved the car from the off but Leigh hit the nail on the head, I needed to personalise it because she is a staying!

The dash/console etc., was from a 2004 80th anniversary BUT I did not want it to look like I was trying to make her something she wasn't hence keeping the black theme. The original air bag was spray painted a "similar tan" colour but badly scratched so I kept my black one. I love it and I owe my husband great big brownie points for making it happen x

Thanks for your kind comments, Tibs made it look easy :broon:
