I haven't the foggiest .... on my MG ZS.
Discussion
Yesterday I was mostly rectifying that.
First I did this :~
Note the two connectors hanging down each side. Those are for the Fog Light option and are usually there on MGs and Rovers even on the lower spec cars without these additional lights.
Then did this ... twice :~
Then fitted these :~
The top 10mm Fog Light mounting bolt is concealed behind the Bumper Trim Insert here :~
Refitted assembled front bumper, slotted the relay and switch and tested :~
Job done. Now me aged minces can see for miles ...and miles and miles...

There's more ... 
Being severely guilty of procrast ... porcast .... putting things off, got stuck in to another little job on the MG ZS 120 this afternoon. Obtained some Front Mudflaps a while back. I had already started the job on the offside front wheel arch a few weeks ago having first cleared out all the road filth, leaves and other stuff which accumulates behind the wheel arch liners and wings. Over the years, quite a lot can build up. I had two goes clearing the stuff out of the nearside wing today. Fiddly job best done whilst dry until very little left. Then pressure washed out with hose to clear any remnants. Sparkling clean and no sign of corrosion either side ~ testament to the anti- corrosion properties of these Rovers and MGs :~
Two lots of filth were removed from the same wheel arch. Note the seedling which had germinated behind the wing in the second lot of dirt which looks like fine quality compost ..
When fitting the Mudflaps, I used the six front wheel arch screws from a scrapyard Rover 600 as the corrosion quality of those self tappers are far superior. Even so, smeared them in Copper Based grease. The original screws of lesser quality were somewhat corroded making their removal a bit difficult.
Anyway, the final result is visually pleasing and a bonus being they stop stones hitting the paintwork and do keep mud and road filth away too :~
My son got the two mudflaps off a scrapyard Honda which shares similar components to certain Rovers and MGs. A legacy from the former Rover Group ~ Honda partnership.

Take your point MGJ but I was refering to the pic of the front panel laid out on the grass, couldn't figure out what it was at first.
hehehe I was the same, I thought he'd cut the foglight holes and discovered a stash of watercress behind the bumper...HeatonNorris said:
All that effort, but you're willing to drive around on cheap teflon tyres.
Not much effort and I prefer non-stick tyres... Car is a recent project acquisition, not a daily driver. Previously a female owned it ~ with the most beautiful blue eyes I've seen for many a year.. I'm an eyes~tits~bum man ... in that order....

Where'd you get the mudflaps from?? Wouldn't mind a set myself!
My hawk eyed son spotted a set in a local breaker yard and got them for me. I believe he has another set. Those from some Hondas are a direct fit too ~ a legacy of the Rover Group~Honda partnership prior to the BMW takeover. He also got a set of the screws which secure the front wheel arch liners on Rover 600s as they are more corrosion resistant than most other types. He also got another set for my wife's MG ZS. PM me and I'll get back to you if you want more details.Gassing Station | MG | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
