New MG-TF front end. - Will it fit an 'old' TF? - MG-Rover.org Forums

kV8stu · 19-07-2007, 16:36

Does anyone 'in the know' know if the new MG-TF Front Bumper Moulding will fit directly onto an 'old' TF? - I can't imagine they'd change the fixing points or thread sizes...

Is the Rear Bumper moulding still the same?

Any news on when we can get them as spares? - Through X-Part?

Will the old colours be available? (esp. British Racing Green)?

Cheers

1. I can't see why not.

2. Looks like it at the moment.

3. Who knows? But it will not be until production starts (looking like February now)

4. Probably not, at lest to begin with but the bumpers will need painting like they do now.

Sorry to post an OT comment, but why no British Racing Green? Do they not have the right to use the name?

If not, they should have called it Donnington Green or something.... ridiculous that you can't get an MG in Green.... its sacrilidge!

Why is this model called an LE 500? with a whopping 136ps? what happened to the 160?

Deano · 19-07-2007, 20:35

its a limited run of 500 editions with this spec... then they should be kicking off full production run.

Stewart H · 19-07-2007, 20:38

Is this from the part finished cars left in Longbridge? What's happened to those?

Deano · 19-07-2007, 20:39

They've long gone! MGR auctions back in 2005.

There were large numbers of body-shells in the pic's from 28 days later TF's ZT/75 ZS/45 and ZR/25? these are the parts i was referring too! Are these all heading for the crusher after being kept so long in dry conditions?

As said before, these colors are the colors for the LE500 model. I.e. the MGF Trophy LE 160 wasn't vaialble in green either.

There could well be more colours to come.
