Here are a few pics of my MG Midget, still lives in the UK. Don't get back to drive it much, especially the last year or two - but its great (low speed) fun when I do. Best of all around the windy lanes in Cheshire. Origianlly intended to bring it to Germany but a few trips on the motorway sitting under the wheels of 40 ton trucks put me off.
If you fit chrome bumpers to really need to adjust the ride height to that of a chrome bumpered example to make it look right.
Personally I would get rid of the stainless sill covers - these are often fitted just to hide rotten sills (obviously not the case here)but look pretty naff IMHO

Thanks for the nice comments.
Thought of ditching the rubber bumpers if I decide to keep the car long term, but if I make it look more sporty then it will need lots of costly mods to make it drive better too.
I did not do the rebuild, bought the car from my brother who was a bit strapped and under pressure from Mrs to sell. Having seen how much work went into it I did't like the idea of him giving it away to some shark, so bought it on a bit of a whim.
Not sure I agree that the chrome sills look naff, they might on a low slung no or chrome bumper car but on this one I think they go quite well.

Of course you don't agree - presumably you wouldn't have fitted them if you did!!!!!!Thought of ditching the rubber bumpers if I decide to keep the car long term, but if I make it look more sporty then it will need lots of costly mods to make it drive better too.

Didn't mean to offend - it was just my personal opinion. The quality of the resto looks superb and it's good to see another Midget given a new lease of life. Enjoy it.
