    Anyone wash their car today? ?

    It would be there on all colours, of course. White just makes it particularly noticeable.

    Here’s one for you - changing the colour of the car on the screen

    It's a stealth drone - you won't see or hear it.:)

    Here’s one for you - changing the colour of the car on the screen

    I had a red Ford Focus, made in Germany. The software car was white, same as the MG. Who cares?

    Touch up colour troubles

    I had to look up the name of the place (I just knew where it was, and they don't have a website)... "Premier Automotive Paints" on Beach Road, Malaga. All your needs and more, from touch ups through to spraypainting, and the bloke behind the counter doesn't mind giving you a rundown on how to do...

    Touch up colour troubles

    The place I used didn't use a paint code. They had some sort of scanner that they waved over the car, and that seemed to tell them what was required. As I said, a perfect match.

    Touch up colour troubles

    Do you have automotive paint suppliers near you? I got a small touch up bottle mixed up. Took the apprentice about 10 minutes to put all the "tinters" in it and shake it up. But it was a perfect match. You can try one of this guy's methods if feeling confident. "Quickest Way to Repair Car...

    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    I never knew a rear light was such a big deal until getting this car. I would not have even noticed there isn't one back there if people on here didn't keep mentioning it! I couldn't even tell you if my previous car had one or not.🤷‍♂️

    I never knew the speed limit recognition was so bad

    It didn't work all that well on the Focus I had previously, so I'm assuming it's a hit or miss system in most cars. I've even seen two different types of limit not recognised "dashes". Given speed limit signs seem to have a slightly different format around the world, it's probably not too...

    Sudden automatic braking issue (merged, MG4)

    I had my first instance last week. An idiot was running across road in the opposite lane from me. I thought he was about to stop on the median strip, and was easing off the accelerator and considering the brakes, when the car made my mind up for me. Pulled up pretty quickly, I have to say.

    Curious discrepancy in estimated range between car and Ismart

    If you flick between, say, sport and normal mode you can see the range adjust immediately. The same for putting the AC on or off, as Siteguru says. What does surprise me is you only having 407km at "full" in a 64. I get a guesstimate of 400km at 100% with AC off in my 51.

    Hub caps

    Looks like something (acidic?) has splashed on it. Although, interestingly, it doesn't seem to be affecting the silver areas.

    Seat Covers for MG4

    Nice work. You've even managed to incorporate the creases leather seats seem to develop over time.:D

    What do you think is the cheapest feeling part of MG4

    I wish I could work out why there is a 50% chance of the radio being on the next time I get into the car. If it's off when I shut the car down, it stays off the next time I start up. If it's on, however, it's a toss of the coin the next time. I don't think I'm doing anything differently each...

    Spoiler delaminating

    Worth a try. You can't exactly fix that peeling. There are people getting the plain black ones replaced here in Australia if/when they show weathering that can be polished off.
