No they don't! No UK MG5 ever had a pan roof, they're all steel only.

The inner panel of the bonnet, around the pressed holes usually rusts. The sills can rust due to a total lack of any protective sealant/stone chip protection, they are finished just in plain paint that gets chipped off, so mudflaps are a must to stop most of the stone damage risk. It has an...

I nearly agree, just expect the GT to be low to mid 30's next September, not high. ;)

Back in the 70's British Leyland, due to their stupidity, let steel sheet get wet, whilst waiting for it to be processed in the pressing shops, leading to rusting. Some bodies in white were also transported in the rain between factory buildings. This was not part of the planned process, but...

I'm sorry, but what you just posted is total and utter nonsense. Sounds like an April 1st joke! Sheet steel for car production is kept dry and clean, there is no such thing as "weathered" sheet steel, if you knew anything about metallurgy you'd understand why what you posted is utter rubbish...

Well, they're not hideous, but they are the weakest part of an otherwise very coherent design.

Redesigned rear light clusters, if the mountings stays the same, might be interesting. Could be a nice option for those with the Cyberster who don't like the arrows to upgrade to.

Dealer already have 4 new wheels in for me. They've been great. OK'd the bonnet too, suggested I might want to wait purposely for it to get a little worse, then they may replace rather than sand back and repaint. I just don't need the inconvenience!

All very good advice. My preference is Bilt Hamber Dynax these days, both the cavity and underbody formulations. If and when I buy a Cyberster, I'll be going over it thoroughly. As for the 5, I'm not sure what I'm going to do as yet, as a workhorse, I don't want to go to the trouble of extensive...

Yeah, I might just do that. Just could do without the hassle right now as the car is in daily use and on trailer duty as I'm renovating our new house and no doubt they'll want it in a body shop for a week!

Saw the local dealer, who were helpful. Put in a claim for new wheels with MG, so we're waiting on that. Also confirmed the under bonnet rust would be covered by the 3 year paint warranty but I might want to wait until it gets a bit worse as then they'll probably authorise a new bonnet rather...

I agree, but my MG5 is corroding after only 8 months!, so wanted to check to see if the Cyberster has any similar issues.

Not at that milage though! You can get similar with just 1k or 2k miles on them for just a few hundred more. (All are pre haggle of course, if you can negotiate well, they're probably a couple of thousand less)

The AA is actually a good point, so not so bad I suppose. It just gets me that if you didn't have this service done, they'd refuse warranty work if needed, even though the cause would almost always be nothing to do with missing the service! Tesla as a company have many faults, but honouring...

So literally nothing at all on the first service beyond a visual inspection and spray grease on hinges. Looks like they've added wheel removal and sliver of coppergrease on the mating surfaces to give the impression something is actually done! I'm going to begrudge paying for that if and when I...
