Yeah, it's not a cheap fix, even less so on something as new as these MG5's, so if I can do something to delay that, I will.

What Grahbags has fitted to his bumper will make zero difference to cooling. By saying "restricting the cooling even more", you're suggesting it's restricted to start with. Bear in mind they fit the condenser in front of the coolant radiator. Air has no issue travelling through small channels...

I agree mate and you've more than likely saved yourself an expensive condenser replacement in the long run.

I've had cars in the past with a lower ride height than my lowered MG5 and never had any issues of exhausts scraping the ground, so I wouldn't be overly concerned about the battery either. Nonetheless, the battery was designed to take the odd light impact with being the closest thing to the...

They certainly do look much better lower mate, I'm not sure what the designers were thinking making the ride height so high to start with, unless they were going for the 4x4 estate look. Hope you continue enjoying the car mate 👍

Sorry Ian I've only just found this post! Looks great mate. Are you still happy with it a few months on? Ride comfort etc. Disappointed you didn't do the work yourself! 🤣 I don't know what tyres you're running, but if it's anything like mine, it handles exceptionally well on the Eibach's.

Slightly higher than the photoshopped white one would be my ideal, bearing in mind I'm on 19's. The best I'll be hoping for is my Eibachs sagging in a few years to be honest. Or go back to the pikey days of cutting off a coil and welding them to the struts 🤪 In all fairness I'm not disappointed...

That's my plan mate, but I'm going to use fine stainless steel mesh (filter type mesh) and mount it on a frame bolted just in front of the condenser. I'm assuming you've managed to avoid any damage to your condenser having fitted your mesh?

I wasn't aware it had a snail mode. On a run back from Aberdaron I got home with 3% battery but the car was behaving normally, albeit slightly slower than when fully charged.

It is pretty appaling that they wear to this extent. My previous Excite obviously had cloth seats, but 40k+ miles and no wear. Bought my Exclusive at 21k miles and the pleather seat base bolster was already splitting.

Sorry for the late reply mate, I don't seem to get notified to replies. Last pic is the piece I found between the subframe and underguard.

I hope they bring some coilovers for the 5 to the market in the future. As much as I prefer my 30mm drop to standard, I'd still like to have it sitting closer to the white photoshopped one 😅

Has anyone else noticed any damage to their air con rad from road debris hitting it? I was under the car the other day wax oiling it, and actually pulled a strip of cooling fins from between the underguard and subframe, that had dislodged from the lowest part of the radiator! I was pretty...

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this. So for them to be manufactured as LR - are we talking about the Roewe Ei5 as opposed to the UK spec MG5?

It was a 2021, so yes, before they released the long range. I can't see that being the case though as my car was probably manufactured late 2020, unlikely they even had developed the longer range battery by that point.
