Thanks for posting this Richard!

Hope my car is in the video and on its way (just dreaming as I have been told it should be with me in February allegedly!).

Pictures please

Ok, here you go - just collected today from Drive MG Bristol North. Ordered 12th September and would have been available last week - but I wasn't!
Only one hiccup, and that was that the main key wouldn't work initially, but then the tech guy realised that the car had been switched to transport mode

Did anyone notice that they Leave china without a MG badge on the back you can see that in video ?

Never noticed. But they should leave it off. Looks better. Infact me personally would also remove the IM5/IM6 badge too. Looks so much better, just looks nice and clean and smooth, looking.

I haven't checked, but if they're simply glued on, I should imagine that should you want to remove them, some alcohol (the non-drinking kind!) and dental floss would do the job efficiently

I've ordered the black covers to go over the IM badges from Ali express should be here this week. ( IM5 pearl Black) so would be completely Black.
thinking maybe Night rider look ROFL

Take the other badges off, will look awesome. Very mean!

I used black covers when I had my MG4 and they did look good against the orange, but I'm not sure it'd look right on a Nevis Blue IM5!
When you fit them, watch the 3M adhesive tape (or whatever brand is used), it wasn't particularly good at maintaining adhesion on my MG4 covers and I had to buy some tape to replace it.

Gotta be the Black, though. Not the Carbon.

They can just be pealed off - carefully.
