Or at least I hope it’s very near original. Yes, this is how I spent the Sunday just gone. 7hrs (allowing drying time) to take off one wheel at a time, paint, repaint, put wheel back on, touch up and then repeat with the second wheel.
All good fun, and I really was blessed with the weather (and the fact we had no rain, and the rest of England seemed to get loads!)
I am, needless to say, rather chuffed with the end result.
For those that are interested I used Halfords Brake Caliper Paint – at the time of writing this the price stands at £10.99 for a tin which is more than enough paint.
To see my other MG posts take a look here!










After having taken the car back to the garage (thank goodness we got it with warranty aye) and have the friendly mechanics look at it they discovered that the muppet who had it before decided he’d try mounting an amp on each speaker. This is possible, but he’d screwed up royally and there was no sound at all.
