    Default Hi there!

    My name's Steve and I'm an mg-aholic.... lol...

    Well, I don't currently have a V8, but it's certainly in the long term plans. Currently have a black MG ZT CDTi 135, my third MGR car. Some of you may have heard of me as 'the bloke who does the blue backlighting conversions'!

    I've met quite a few V8 owners now, was at Pride of Longbridge and Cosford at the weekend, and every time I hear that V8 rumble it just makes me curse that I bought a CDTi (although truth be told, I really love that too).

    Anyway, nice to be here. Not much to read though, I guess most of the forum sections are only open to full members? Guess I'd better start saving up for that V8...

    Hello Steve

    Your application was hanging around until I noticed your pictures on 75&ZT. You're username looked a bit spam'ie

    Welcome on and do ask questions when you do decide to buy one.

    2005 Paris MotorShow LHD on Piston Heads, If it was RHD even I might have bid 8 1/2 for it !

    Would go nice with my 2004 NEC MotorShow Car !

    Love the blue illumination conversions, done a little Green-ing myself of a similar nature!

    Calibrax,
    I really like that, it helps to disguise the parts bin robbing look of the interior.

    I could be interested in using your services. Would you mind PM me some prices.
