MG4 X Power Roll Call and mods.

I've never tried this method of de-badging but. Supposedly if you spray WD40 down the badge, let it soak for a while. It literally comes of with very little effort. And considering I always use WD40 to clean the excess glue, left on the car. In theory it could work, probably sort of melts the glue. Gonna try it on the front MG4 badge.
WD40 won't damage anything, so no harm in trying.

I've used WD40 to get rid of stubborn tar splatters all over the door panels with no problems .

Exactly, so I'm betting it would work on a badge. So it literally, falls off. Would imagine at least an hour soak. Like I say, gonna give it a go.

The genuine front badges are pretty cheap (£20ish) so if you do balls it up or change you mind no major issue.

Go for it.

I will. But I'm pretty sure, it'll look good.

Not sure I'd leave WD40 on the paint for extended time, but do the experiment and tell us if it does any damage.

Pretty sure it won't, but yep I'll let you know, after I've had the bonnet resprayed.

Its fine. Used it for years on the bodywork of many cars.

Also great for cleaning underbonnet.

Forecast lovely weather, so time to fit, me Decals, Graphics, Stickers, whatever you want to call them.
(I prefer Graphics, that sounds better)
Anyway, these are um, nothing too drastic,
relatively subtle.

First 2 fitted this morning.

Wow, I can't wait to see the ejector seat on operation.

Bit of a laugh, as is the ICE bloke, shooting himself.

2 more fitted this morning. New bonnet MG Sticker in place of the raised badge.
Much better imo, clean, smooth looking and a doddle to clean. And the other,
X Power sticker on the strut brace.

When you first said what you were going to do with the front badge, I wasn't sure how it would look, but it perfectly fine.

Your car looks mega, @salty.

I’ve just added the mud flaps/black badge/fangs/XPOWER tailgate badge to my car, although I’ve had to order another XPOWER badge because the first one didn’t adhere properly

Thanks for the comment.
And as for the badge, get some 3m VHB tape, not expensive and put some of that on your badge. Then believe me it ain't going nowhere. It's always handy to have.

Ordered these. In Gloss Black. 60 quid.
Think they should look ok, we'll see.

If ya like.... Just summut a bit different.

They look pretty good, might get those as well .
I have bought the gloss black side strip covers off AliExpress that cover over the silver parts down the side of the car.
I always think the silver bits look out of place and it's far cheaper than buying the complete replacement sections that are fitted to the lower spec model.

I personally think the gloss black and silver blends well with the wheels but it is interesting you can get so much stuff to mod the car.

This is the beauty of a Chinese made car. There’s literally a tonne of visual modifications that cost relative pennies to try out.
