ah i know who you are now!!! off MM right?
kenny don't look happy.
Glad you bought a 200 as they don't do that kind of bodykit for it.
What made you buy that out of interest.
Seriously though, be very careful with your 200, its dangerous out there.
im just getting used to the car at min i must of fone over 2000 miles already init lol
ive bein to birmingham to wales to birmingham to mansfield lol and then oxford and back lol just want it sounding nice with airfilter and exhausts with the wastegate chatter by puttin them bungs in the recirculatory pipes lol
ye mate im on a few club forums ive seen MM about n tht at shows and went to there weekly meet once lol i remember just seeing it at a show thinking wow i would love that car becasue it had xbox hydrolics big 20s and all the gadgets and everything init just like a big toy but in all fairness the hydros suck having to adjust them everytime sum1 gets in and out of the car

Use them wisely
You say you are kitting it and giving it stage 1??!?!
Good luck to you sir....
Almost every insurance company is gonna tell you to get fcuked.....
No offence but its not worth you or any 18 year old for that matter, owning a 200...They are cars that crave experience and a lot of money to keep them on the road which at 18....nobody has got!! Unless you sell drugs which by the look of that MG you probably do!!
Tax - £200+
Insurance - Stage 1, kit, alloys, 18..... - £2000 if you're lucky
Petrol - Current fuel prices - £65-75 to totally fill the tank
Servicing - depends what goes wrong
Oil change every 3-5000 miles - £40+
Rear tyres - You will go through them 5 times as fast as the fronts on your MG
Then....
Modifications - Not cheap as these aren't max pooper cars
Repairs - Mechanical and cosmetic....
If you can stomach all those costs for at least 4-5 years when your insurance premiums come down then go for it. Otherwise skimp on the legal issues such as insurance as you are already doing and end up the sex toy of cell block D!!
1) Please dont use text speak or i will have to kill you
2) Please dont mod the 200 in the same way as the Rover or again I will have to kill you
3) Please get it insured properly or dont drive it until you can. I don hope you are not insured with Flux or Sky as they have a very active presence on here and will probably kill you
good luck with it mate, i'm paying 1200 with flux with no claims bonus and at 28 i cant't drive it properly still!!!! they really are a handful in the wet and need lots of respect
It looks like the SXOC has made a new friend. I very nearly bought the car you did and you're right, its very very clean. Please dont kill it as it looks like your insurance wont help you, unless they chuck in some free lube anyway.
Welcome
hi there, welcome to the club mate. i'm 18 too, i just got my s14a last month and i'm delighted with it. they are a serious handful in the wet as they dont have traction control so be aware of that. but best of luck with it
Something isnt adding up here...
As far as I'm aware, with some insurance companies you can drive any other car with the owners permission up to the SAME INSURANCE GROUP. Now surely the mg and 200 arent in the same bracket?
Would double check with your insurance company before spending a fortune on the car!
im 21 and the insurance aint cheap, but better expensive that illegal,
im an able driver, been on many courses drove many cars, but the 200 still catches me out in the wet, be careful with it mate,
