MG4 New plates, mudflaps and a debadge.

[pd2]

Christmas eve...... I have my own small tradition of washing all the cars and just take my time and let the wife watch Christmas movies on the telly.

The inlaws got there Aygo washed, then done our Mini Clubman and the MG4, my toy is already in the garage since last month due to salt etc.

Once the 4 was clean, I got to installing the the mudflaps from Aliexpress and the new plates (to remove the Arnold Clark name and green strip) I ordered that turned up today, so got to sticking them on too. While doing the rear plate I decided to remove the badges from the boot. To my eyes it looks cleaner but everyone is welcome to their own opinion

Debating wether to order the black MG cover badges for the front and rear (if we can access the rear one as its under the plastic light cover).

Ordered a couply of keyrings and a black Trophy badge from Ali aswell. Debating about putting in on the car or the toolbox lol.

Have a good one tomorrow folks!!!

Merry Christmas!!

Paul.

... well done Paul, brilliant - I have the same mudflaps (xmas present to myself - so got the elfs to wrap them, sent them to santa, and will be under the tree, if santa gets the correct address???) - were they easy to fit ??

I have the same ones. Very easy to fit and square up the car quite nicely from behind.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you remove the boot badges?
Will probably do the same, makes it easier to polish

.... I'm sure they are fine, but from a 5 second look, (humble apologies, I need to do better!), but i did see that some of the fixings on the car were not standard metal screws, they looked like pop-out plastic - how did one remove these?

Pop out the centre and pull them out. New ones come with the mud flaps which are slightly longer.

Great post and photo’s, off to Aliexpress to spend some money.

Mudflaps were a doddle to fit, used the existing screws and there are 2 pop out plastic rivets, 1 at the top of each front flap. As mentioned, you get 2 longer ones included.

Debadge, just heated them up with the wife’s hair dryer and pulled them off slowly. Pretty much all the glue came off with the badge. A small amount of polish removed the excess. The electric badge was a bit of a bugger just due to its length. I didn’t want to snap it as I’ll add it to the toolbox.

... it will have to be the last post this evening (as the elfs are knocking on the door), below (above?), is what I got, did you simply replace the plastic backing fixing with a metal screw?, or did you have a different system?

 

[pd2]

I received 6 screws and 2 longer plastic pop in rivets.

and the seat hook, i put it in the Mini.

These are the ones I had left after fitting. You must have a different kit. The old ones may fit.

 

[pd2]

I had 2 of these, fitted perfectly.
