I ordered one of these. Will be around £250 per month for 15k miles pa fully maintained after i give my fuel card back etc.
They're saying 28th June delivery date. Seems like a long time tbh
Mmm Is that off the leasing company ?They're saying 28th June delivery date. Seems like a long time tbh
Said on mine about 7 months. I got a call from the dealer saying it’s going to be 2 months.

Another tiny mod. The MG4 comes with a wireless charging mat with a rubber covering like this (picture blatantly stolen off the web)

Which is fine, and very handy, until you accelerate anything like a little bit hard at which point your phone goes flying off somewhere towards the back of the car (normally to a completely inaccessible spot).
A fellow owner came up with a 3d printed bumper bar thingo.

Lift the rubber mat put in the bumper and then clip the mat back down.

No more flying phones!! It's not the best finished thing in the world but it looks ok
In other news I decided to decontaminate the paint on the bonnet to see what sort of state it was in. Difficult to get in a photo but surprisingly large amount of iron fallout considering the car has done less than 2000 miles. Must have picked it up on its trip from China?

Whilst doing the clean I spotted the first stone chip, slightly disappointed and hopefully not a sign of fragile paint...

Don't want to hijack the thread too much but mine turned up with the piano black trim pieces behind the rear window scratch like they'd had a 100 trips to the local scratch and shine.
It's almost a parody, like I don't know how you could get it that bad from at most 1 or 2 washes.
Mine aren't too bad but not sure how wise the inclusion of piano black plastic on the outside of a car is! Did think about putting some sort of pot on them but I'm yet to do anything about it....It's almost a parody, like I don't know how you could get it that bad from at most 1 or 2 washes.

If you're keen I'd imagine the best bet will be to polish them and then PPF them, it's going to bug me I know it is.
The plastic finish is supersoft and even diligent washing will result in swirl marks.
