Anyone done it on here at all? I'm doing the Sebring conversion for mine, I have the Chrome Bumper wings modified with the arches in place so that's the wings done. However, I could do with a little guidance on what to do with the grille. From what I understand I need to cut the chassis legs back is that right? About 4 inches on the top and and 2 on the bottom bit and weld the ends up? What about the plate that sits between the legs? Currently I have the grille only. What other fixings would I need? All help would be appreciated  . |

The new grille fixes to the front panel at the top with just a 3 peices of steel, it also fixes to the bottom of the front bulkhead (or whatever you call it) with some bolts.

Can't offer much help as I know nothing about MG's! But, I can enthuse over the planned Sebring conversion... sounds excellent! Have you tried asking on an MG forum? You might get a load of beardies whinging about originality etc., but I'm sure someone will know the answer to your question. Oh, hang on... maybe you don't need the beardies after all...

Remeber you will need to modd the wings as you don't get a proper hole for the indicators.
I say don't fit the chrome bumpers just have it smooth bud.
