MG5 LR Full Rear De-badge

[JasonSivyerUK]

First Post.

When I was looking through the various mods and upgrades I couldnt find anyone that had fully De-Badged the rear on and MG5 LR.

So I did it After some advice from Paulie I heated, pealed and cleaned off the badge juice. I can confirm the main rear MG badge is just stuck on.

Added some photos. Not sure if I like it yet but its rear number plate next.

Let me know what you think.

Even more stealth when you remove the number plate

Was going to ask how you got rid of the black bar so smoothly, but I see it's still there just blending in. Black makes for a good choice to hide it!

Thought that meself. But methinks (hope)
he didn't mean that.

I had a silver MG5 and I did not like the black bar under the rear number plate so I removed it. I had some near match silver paint in my garage so I painted the the screws and replaced them. The 2 screws were hardly noticeable which in my opinion looked better.

What are your reasons, if I can ask, for removing all the identifying badges and labels from the rear? Have you also removed the MG badge from the bonnet?

I got a tall numberplate to cover my screws, although I had to remove the MG5 badge in the process. Can't decide if I can be bothered putting it back on or not. Either way it looks so much better without the bar

I removed all the MG5 Estate badging "cluster" as it just looked like a haphazard mess, wasn't even on straight out the factory. The car looks much better without it. I've kept the main MG roundels, but thinking I might remove the bonnet one to give a smoother look. All the MG badging looks a little bit afterthought as this car was never going to be an MG to begin with, it's really a rebadged Roewe Ei5.

Ah! You have a modern Rover

They look much better, i did mine back in October when I picked this one up, also moved the black bar above the numberplate so it was less obvious.
Comparison between the old one i replaced and my new one (before I tinted the windows/fitted alloys and lowered).

I have finally repoved the black bar. I brought custom plates (520mm x 152mm) with the UK green strip left...... looks great. Il upload a photo

The blob on the rear number plate is a reflection....
