You don't need to do anything drastic. Mine had the same. You can separate the clip on the mat. Rotate 90° and the clip back. Jobs done. It would be a waste of your time to go back to a dealer. Took me about 10mins (trying to avoid cracking the clip and scraping the skin off my fingers!)
So if I understand right the main updates from the new batch are:
Infrared driver alert feature removed
Granny charger supplied as standard
Oil filled correctly
Are there any other physical changes/updates to note? Or that are beneficial/detrimental (cost saving - looking at you Tesla).

Me. It was supposed to be a Trophy. But I think they had another customer lined up after I rejected it.
Starting to cool on the car in general now. £32k is still a lot of money and I'm now considering 2nd hand ice again (enough for my needs).
@davz thanks for the honest feedback. It's driven some good debate on this thread. It's always hard to come off the kool aid and/or potentially put a dampener on others who have ordered. Credit to the forum members that it's been a good discussion and a reminder that £32k is still a lot of money!
Do you know what the residuals look like on the Born? This is my plan B car choice. In reality I prefer the outside look of the Born and the open plan interior (front) of the MG4.
Thinking I might go look at a just for quality comparison.
The Cupra Urban rebel looks really nice. Too bad it's 2...
Feels that way. Unless you ordered when the books opened... Oh wait. I did. Same result. I think there was zero logic to the allocation relative to the order in which deposits were made.
Another dealer another disappointing outcome. For all the talk of the SE LR being in short supply it seems to be the only one I can find. Trophy seems to be the one which somehow has been limited.
Will give it a few more days and then probably give up and buy an ICE car. Feel pretty...
To add to this I reflected the allocation problems back to MG. Just received an email where they effectively have washed their hands with it blaming the dealer and telling me to take it up with them.
Doesn't fill me with confidence in the brand if they're willing to throw the dealers under the...
I've found more SE LRs available at the mo then Trophy! Which given the expected 10% SE LR is a bit odd.
In my case I want the driver aids and spoiler (I don't think it's worth £3k but what can you do!)
Hello,
After the MG balls up which has p.eed me off no end, and seeing that there is some other members on here with models that wasn't their first choice. I thought I'd see if anyone has been allocated a Trophy but wanted an SE LR?
We could potentially swap orders around and actually get our...
Is it an SE that you've gone for? Seems like there are quite a lot in. Maybe disproportionately more than Trophy despite the original 40% Vs 50% (Trophy) split.
Thank you for posting.
This last paragraph is a little bit marketing bumf for me. I think MG centrally f.d up. Like a fair few on here, I said I was open to options colour wise but was told I needed to specify something for the order form.
To me the order sequence should have been matched up...
In the grand scheme of things I totally agree with you. I think it's more about having done all the right things; first order at my dealer, being flexible and changing colour (increasing my cost) when asked to, bring proactive and engaging my dealer etc etc.
It just feels frustrating now that...
What a joke this is turning into.
I get told I need to order red. So order red then get told we have no red. Meanwhile other orders are getting options in.
It's a really poor form from MG and also just putting the fight with the buyers amongst ourselves as we scramble for first allocation.
I...
@WonkoTheSaneUK did your allocation not come through. Felt like we were the outsiders on the blue. My dealer had the option but had to pull some strings so in the end unchanged the colour to secure what they knew they were getting.
Hoping other dealers will have stock available. The longer I wait the more I confused myself. Now flip flopping between Trophy and SE SR! Got the Trophy on order but now wondering if the SE is actually the better value. I know a few reviews are citing the SE LR as the sweet spot but thinking...
