Thank you! Was only teasing - I love LBB and almost went that route myself.

Ohio roads suck and so does winter. I'm trying to get enough courage to tackle a suspension change!

I still love your car.

I have to tell you, the MPS was the best move I ever made. I run it 2-clicks softer on all settings, and even dropped the car is monumentally softer over bumps/cracks/potholes.

That definitely gives me some hope. I'm so concerned about tearing the new suspension apart or worsening the ride.

Maybe it'll be my next one.

MG is by far the best color on an M2.

The spring rate is higher, so my wife says her boobs bounce a bit more, but each bounce is softer at the end, less crashy, because the dampening is so much better. Even lowered it's a vast improvement. The M2 and M2C should have come with the MPS from the factory, no question.

I was about to say I have a friend that used to own a car that reminds me...

Wow that's good to know

WOT Bimmer · 09-01-2021, 07:29 PM

Looks good wherever it is.

fleetfoot · 09-02-2021, 08:24 PM

I love how the paint seems to take on its surroundings. It can be matte or glossy depending on the weather, and light or dark grey depending on the amount of light.

Mike_OGm2 · 09-04-2021, 01:22 PM

Wash and wax for the long weekend. Happy Labor Day!

SteveOS · 09-13-2021, 03:57 PM

Posted in the "What have you done" but figured I'd post here for my MG fam!

I've done quite a few things over the past 2 weekends. Installing mods is therapeutic

Headlight/Taillight STEK PPF (slight smoke)
STEK gloss black roof
12 mm spacers (front) 10 mm (rear) - I rubbed in the rear when I had 12mm
Black valve stems (replaced the silver ones) and black M wheel caps
Front deflector delete
Rear deflector delete (Gloss black)
M2C Mirror caps w/ tinted LED sequential lights
Gloss black side gills
Gloss black M2 badge
Exhaust tips black w/ carbon fiber (Monaco)
Removed rear winglets - They came on the car, but I just didn't like the look
Probably forgetting a few things...

The look isn't for everyone, but it is for me!

Some images

Love it! Although, I think wheels or a front lip are your next but.

Do you have better pics of the roof wrapped?

SteveOS · 09-14-2021, 06:43 PM

Probably won't come through well, but it will look a lot better after I get the car ceramic coated next week.

As for the front lip, the little rubber plastic flaps under the front (no idea what they are called) they rub going in and out of my driveway. I'm nervous about getting a lip.

Thanks! The car definitely needs a drop, but the 10mm spacers plus 295 wide rears don't make that simple. Plus, Ohio roads… I know it is doable though.

I wish I could ride behind the car sometime and observe the stance. I hope the next generation M2 continues that aggressive styling.

I am a stock ride height (or near) guy. Or put another way, I do not like cars too low. I do however like a dead even wheel gap.
