The F/TF use the weird old Triumph 4x95.25 PCD so they don't fit much else apart from auld Maestros and things unless you use PCD adaptors.

So more than likely above mentioned ones are not from MG TF.

Just back from a 7600km road trip to Poland.

Fair play to you! Is that passat lowered?

Or lowered with belongings!

LOL. Its lowered on Koni coilovers, also polybushed on the front. Makes such a difference to handling.

Did I see this in Glendalough yesterday? Looks very similar to one I saw!

I gave the car a good cleaning for fermoy and ended up not going gave the seats a good dose of Gliptone, hard to believe there are 172k on these seats.

You certainly did, I wanted to head to Cork for VAGE '14 but wasn't able, so a spin in the mountains was compensation

You didn't happen to spot the UK reg blue MkII Leon Cupra R in Glendalough too? I was parked in the Upper Lake car park but the owner was in the car so I didn't want to go snapping pictures of it. Looked stunning....was it at VAGE too?

Not really.
I'm here, and I could never be described as being of sound mind.

Not on a Civic!

On a civic, 100,000 miles is 161000km

(They seem to have made a bags of the miles/km conversion)

Zcott

Sure you're grand, my Civic is over 180000km and going well.

Got my first car yesterday, 2006 Ford Focus Zetec with the 1.6 engine. It only has 60k miles on it too!

advertsfox

Nice first car indeed, well wear

Chris_Heilong

Its in need of a good wash and DA, but this is how my car is now and for at least the next 3 months until I have money again. Things left to do are: fit new steering wheel(I will do it next week), new rear bumper, Series 2 LED tail lights, lower profile tyres, fit front fog lights, and 2 nice dark coloured seats for the front.

I noticed after buying them they didn't fit exactly. But once I put one on at a time and tighted them on one at at time they fit fine.

They are def off an MG.



I considered spigot rings for the centre bore but read elsewhere that all they do is centre the wheel initially and that makes sense. And read that the hub takes 99% of the forces and the wheel nuts the remaining 1%.

Might my wheels shear off?

joujoujou

That's really bad news.

Edit:

Strongly recommend you to measure PCD correctly to make sure.

And many Rovers have 4x100 PCD:

Edit 2:

Well, I was wrong and they probably are from MG TF indeed.

Def get the spigot rings, you also wobble nuts (yes, really) to make up the difference in PCD

My Rial daytonas were like a prostitue when it came to the gap in the centre bore, they weighed a tonne and they were fine. PITA to align them though.

VW give a very handy tool in new cars to eliminate that problem.
