<P><FONT size=+0>I'd planned to put the new boot lid and spoiler in the
boot when taking it to the paint shop but since it wouldn't fit (even with
the spare wheel removed) I had to fit it to the car last night and put the
original boot lid in the boot and swap them over at the paint shop. So
unexpectedly the spoiler had its first road test earlier yesterday. I'd
also fitted the 2nd grille blanking device. At motorway cruising speeds it
felt like I was on a lighter/smaller throttle opening than I'm used to. At
higher speeds (!) there was no longer any pitching down or nose down
attitude of the car (that I could notice). The engine pulled well and for
longer up to the point where I have to sit and wait and watch the tacho
than was previously the case and then climbed that little bit higher than
it did before (other than on down hill stretches). Engine temps were much
the same if not the same as without the 2nd blanking plate and at times it
was a fairly warm day. I'm hoping the new painted boot lid and spoiler
will be on the car before the MG Car Club meeting at Silverstone.
Safe to mention here the number one twenty two?</FONT></P>
