better safe than sorry, all cars are different, there was damage to the lip of my fenders where it looked like there was tire rubbing before....i also dont have isos, but for $20 i would rather do it before buying tires, especially since there is marks where there has been clearance issues in the past

Looks much better but lose those bicycle tires in the rear and get some meats out there!

Looks good except the spacers. I hate spacers it just tells people you are to broke or cheap to buy wheels.

Next I would tint the windows.

Well, I think I'm going to go with a shorty antenna (cut and glue mod). That thing looks HUGE! on the fourth pic down. I'm also going to get the grill delete and the bumper inserts. I might do some painting: black hood scoop, black rear pannel, and maybee even black rims. The chrome inserts are pretty tempting, but the black inserts might match better.

Thanks for the comments, they're all good. Truth is, I AM too cheap to buy the rims; I'm halfways saved to a mongoose kit and the wheels and tires would put me back in square one. My elbow hurts just thinking about what I spent on the spacers ($60)and what the grill delete will run (~$90).

What do you guys think? Chrome or black inserts?

black inserts, paint the stock bullitts black. I think the black inserts go perfect on MG.

Hey bud, Seen the post so I though I'd check it out. And I must say it turned out good! Nice looking car and I'm glad you like the spacers! Another cheap appearance mod I did when I had my car was paint the calipers. My car was white though so it may look better than mineral grey would. Just a thought. Good luck modding and thanks again!
