Has anybody found a tutorial for, or know how to easily convert a glossy coloured car to matt or satin black? I fancy going for the stealth look on my next chop.

Rob - I have had it from a very reliable source, that the red MG SV-R was purchased on Friday, and the new owner is expecting delivery towards the end of the month.

The very reliable source I...

I don't suppose you have any more photos of the red MG do you, Rob? Or have you posted all the ones you took on this thread?

Nice photos Rob, well done.

Do they mind you taking photos then? By the number of differing angles / locations and the amount of photos you took, I'd have said no they don't mind!

...and continued as promised!

When the car was initially announced, much was made of the fact that the mechanical layout was a simple one, in reality it took...

Just to set the record straight, the R in 6R4 actually stands for RALLY, not REAR. Here is a brief history I wrote for another website a year or so ago...

Nice job suzq044, but you have cheated slightly by reducing the height of the mirrors as well - not a roof chop in the real sense of the phrase! :-)

It's quite tricky to make a pale car into a dark car and keep realistic shadows, highlights and reflections as pale colours react differently to dark colours.

To make a car black, you'd get far...

Thanks suzq044 and HondaNSX for the words of encouragement. I think this is a cracking idea, but I just cannot wait till I can have another go at a part of this Suzuki. Come on them somebody, chop...

Well done so far chaps. I have lowered the Suzuki, possibly by about 5 or 6" - especially for the school / supermarket runs! Man that's mean...

Anymore contributions of images of MG XPower SV sightings chaps?

Fantastic contribution there 'Coventrysucks' - I never even knew the car appeared at that last event. Very grateful indeed for your input.

Thanks for that 'VtecMini'. Yes, the car in question was originally their demonstrator, as they were one of the appointed official XPower dealers for the car. I gather it has now been acquired by the...

Thank you all for your valued contributions - much appreciated for sure!


Yes, I know exactly which car you are referring to 'Coventrysucks', but even still, if you do have some images from the...

Oh, nearly forgot - Happy Birthday by the way!

Many thanks for your appreciation of my 'quest' to find them all.

Thanks also for the offer of letting me have a reference of the Reg Nº of the Sunspot Yellow car you saw at Knockhill. I have had...

Thanks 'drakkie' but I have managed to download all of the high resolution press images from the MG Rover media site over the last few years. So I'm not after press pics I'm afraid - grateful as I am...

Many, many thanks for your MG XPower SV and SV-R image contributions chaps - most grateful indeed.

But please, rest assured that the ONLY reason that I posted the original request on UCP is that I...

Hi all,

I'd be grateful if any of you could post here any photos that you have taken over the years of any MG XPower SVs or SV-Rs.

Did you see one at MG Sport & Racing, at a car show, in a...
