I think I’m right in saying that on early cars, possibly up until the Mk2 f there was an edge protector strip (CLB10002) that ran around the wheel arch. They had departed on mine by the time it arrived in my drive & as someone at MG deemed it necessary to have them initially I replaced them.

Thanks for this Airportable. I WAS aware of the seals fitted to (I assumed) all Fs but no TFs. I believe the seal you mean is this:I think I’m right in saying that on early cars, possibly up until the Mk2 f there was an edge protector strip (CLB10002) that ran around the wheel arch. They had departed on mine by the time it arrived in my drive & as someone at MG deemed it necessary to have them initially I replaced them. After all they would have been omitted given half a chance had the bean counters noticed. They are nothing special, just metal reenforce plastic edging off eBay, on the EPC they are shown on the rear but it’s so inexpensive I did front also.
To fit these the wheel arch liners had to come out & the two things impressing me most were the condition under there & the amount of grot I had to remove to find that out. A good clean with the pressure washer & it all went back together & forgotten about or a couple of years of enthusiastic driving, until another big job broke out & the liners had to come off.
There was a fraction of the amount of dirt behind there & bear in mind I live in a farming village on the West Pennine Moors where every form of detritus can be collected at any season of year.
I might have been fortunate in my road positioning & avoided the excitement left after horse/cow/sheep/tractor etc have left their little festivals of shit in the road or those edge strips might just be worth tracking down.
