For many this won’t be of interest as “Project Drive”, which refers to MG Rover driving down costs, will have omitted the plastic flaps which cover the ECU & oil / water check points. These open I such a counter intuitive way as to make it irritating when checking oil & water; woe betide anyone who forgets to close it down & try’s to shut the boot lid. Moulded into the flap & opposite the original screw hinge turrets are duplicated with the same type of fixing. If you remove the screws form the hinge turret & refit them on the opposite side the flap will open in a more convenient fashion. By doing a bit of marking & filling you can achieve “it was designed like that” look. As with most things the more effort you put in the better the job, I’ve bent the rear (or should that front) bar in such a way as to facilitate a greater opening angle, it’s up to you. I have to credit an odd detail from a contributor on Dieter’s site, others must have spotted the possibility too.
And now pictures!
