I am new at MGF Register Forums and want to introduce myself.
I am 31 years old and got a 99 Mk-1 MG-F MPI from my father at my 30. birthday. The car had about 130k kilometers (80k miles) on it.

After having a good season in 2014 I got the car in 2015 and something went wrong. The car had 12 years old winter tires on it and a friend and me took it for a drive. I was on the passenger seat and said to my friend he could burn the tires because I need to buy some new better summer tires for it. It worked well for 2 hours of fun but then we did an 120° turn at about 60 Mph into the german countryside....
Glad to be alive the damage was luckily not very hard and the car could be repaired. The most deformation was on the rear side sill.
Sadly my father refused to make a cheap smart repair approach on this. He wanted a metal rebuild at about 4x times the cost of a cheap repair. So some parts need to be exchanged on the car.

Well the repair shop was not very good at all, because the paint job was not very good and at some points they welded the new parts on older rusty parts I guess....

I got the car back in October 2015. So I started to personalise the car to my ideas:
- Mk2 Gauge (digital)
- MGTF beige (Light Tan "SBA") interior with walnut console
- Cooling Water alarm sensor
- white indicators front/side/rear (OEM MGTF Lights)

So here I am. I have many questions on further upgrades and items for my car. So I decided to register here to get more information about MGF parts and tweaks. I hope my English is not so bad and you can understand what I want to write.
