Default Calling all Mineral Grey ...please post pics I need ideas!

Ok so I have about decided to hold off on anything more than a short shifter and maybe underdrive pulleys until I leave Alaska. I want to make some changes to the outside and some very minor inside changes. I am curious to see what other MG owners have going on. I am thinking a rear blackout pannel ( should I do the honey comb or a overlay?) retint the tails ( vinyl this time not feeling night shades anymore) different exhaust tips and maybe replace the GT emblem with a square 281. For the front I tinted my restored factory head lights with nightshades and it made the remaining damage more visible so I want to order some that are darker than stock (who sells the darkest lights on ebay?) I already have stangmods tinted fogs and a mach1 grill and chin spoiler. I want to order a black chrome pony. Will these work with the mach1 style grille? I also want to do the small black stripe that goes just in front of the hood scoop where the indent is because I don't think it would look that great with stripes. I also want to do a different gas door but can't decide on one yet and may just go with the bullit. for interior I have the dark black/charcoal leather so I want a white hurst shift ball **** and would like to have a shifter with the chrome style handle like the hurst for the s197 and maybe some bullit pedals because my dirver pedal is broken from the previous owner. Will also tint the windows sometime and update my whiteface gauges and maybe do the hvac controls as well. Any other ideas or opinions? If you have a MG stang post some pics so I can if it triggers any ideas Thanks!

Well, mine is an 04 gt (dark shadow grey) but close enough!

I have the hood black out (in front of scoop) with "4.6L V8" writing on the scoop itself, and love it, combined with the grill delete, chin spoiler, and smoked lights.

On the rear i did a black spoiler, black fuel door, and black bumper inserts. I will be tinting the rear lights soon as well.

Of course the car is dropped and tinted, and i have dd black bullitts.

I personally think the car has a more agressive appearence, than the "chrome, bright, in your face look" on others i've seen.

I love DSG Just couldn't find one all the way up here lol. My MG is growing on me however Sounds like it looks clean but no pics lol.I thought about a spoiler delete or going with black but I think it looks better on the DSG cars.

Here's a few, but my car doesnt quite look like this anymore, hope this helps!













I now have the 4.6 badges on the sides in place of the GT and the rectangle "281" in place of the ford emblem on the trunk. And also a mach 1 grill delete w/ the horse painted mineral gray.

Nice MG stangs guys! I am envious I am loving that wingless look! I just don't want to have all the work done to fill the wholes Is there an alternative? I know I won't be getting wheels for a little while but I can't help but scratch my head as to what I want! I don't think my grey bullit's wich are like tmcc02GT's only they are dd in the back really suit my car. I think it's maybe the color. I kinda want black bullits bc again I don't think chrome suits it in bullits. But then again I havent seen any with chrome cobra wheels or anything else. Are those black rims fr500's? Can't relly tell but they look nice too! I like the honeycomb back pannel but I can't decide if I should do it or save money and do a vinyl in gloss black. Ugh this is giving me so many ideas but confusing me too lol
