MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

The wife was also mega impressed with it, and said it looks like a James Bonds car....
...
You got me thinking so I decided to put my extremely amatuer Photoshop skills to work...
...
What do you all think?

a) remove BYD, Seal and 3.8S badges.

b) add this badge

... that will keep everyone guessing which model and keep your wife happy

Yep, definitely pull all the badges if that doesn't harm the paint. Maybe take measurements and stash them in a safe place so you can return it to standard at hand back though.
Such a cool looking car but 'build your dreams' and 'seal' are slightly cringe, as the young uns say.

That's what they said about the Xpower, I didn't wait very long to pick up a new bargain. I never buy any vehicle within 2 years of launch.

Fingers crossed for you It is a lot of car for €27k.

Debadge the lot!

Agree. Front and Back. Will look awesome!

Yeah probably not

The name definitely has that Asian cringeyness to it And the ocean theme isn't what I would have done but I suppose most other brands have the better animal names already.

At long last as promised here are pictures of the new addition to the Darth Niloc family. First some photos taken by Darth Niloc Junior over the weekend...

 

[Darth Niloc]

And more pictures taken by me today. As you can tell I lack the same artistic flair as Junior

 

[salty]

Have to say, that looks Awesome!

 

[salty]

Defo, prefer the first pics. Don't give up ya day job.

 

[Darth Niloc]

Interior shots....

 

[salty]

To be honest, not usually a fan of black leather. But that diamond stitching and White piping look, brilliant. Lovely front seats, too.

Did junior take those interior pics.

 

[Darth Niloc]

Mods so far....

Black cover for the front badge.

Rear Debadge

I also bought a lower centre console divider thing...

Still need to get the calipers painted but it hasn't stopped raining here for days!

 

[salty]

Nice mods, so far. And all easily, putbackable.

Paint the Hubs black, too. They will almost certainly rust, and will look better.

I know I suck at photography

Nice mods, so far. And all easily, putbackable.

Yeah that will be the key theme when it comes to mods unfortunately. That said I don't really know what else I would do to her. Have ordered new plates without the green bit which I'll have tomorrow but other than getting the calipers painted I think she is pretty final

Thanks,
Darth Niloc

Really nice @Darth Niloc , you've got the badging right, front and back.

I kind of like the sharper edge look of the MG4 if I’m being completely honest over the seal

But when it comes to the interior the BYD crushes the MG4..

It’s a real problem of the MG especially the X power it’s too bland some fancy racing type seats at the very least ti say hey this is the rocket model

A lot of the latest MGs have stuck with bland looking interior designs it’s kinda bad when BYD and a lot of other electric car companies have quite futuristic designs inside and out of their cars

You can buy seat covers for specific EVs such as the MG4 with that diamond pattern in various colours including black

 

[salty]

Not a fan of seat covers. But when they come as standard, like on the Seal.
Think they look great. Diamond stitched Leather, looks lovely.

DN Junior's subtle play on "Wind-powered-BYD-with-Electricity-Transmission-Lines-overhead" images gets my vote...

I have seat covers in my xpower and everyone who has been in the car thinks they are the original seats. When fitted correctly they are indistinguishable.

Fair enough. But not for me.
