hi my name is ricky i run a tyre centre/workshop. i am into my cars big time, i like modifying my car to personalise them. i have two main cars my sterling that i use everyday and an mg maestro that is my toy.
the sterling is a fully loaded kv6 version in oxford blue and grey leather interior with 17" lenso rs5 alloys and four tailpipes across the back, custom built to replace the std backbox. the mg is known as the "mad maestro" which is starting to get extreme :lol: at last. i don't have many pics of the rover so will take some and post them on my photobucket account and attach a link when it's done. regards ricky

you should check the spec sheet on it
http://s798.photobucket.com/albums/yy26 ... 20Maestro/
is quite impressive when you think about it compared to the std carb type turbos. rover should have injected them. regards ricky

That's a very impressive spec! The previous owner of ours had taken it to moto-build and it had been worked on so was a little quicker then standard but no-where near that! Shame your's doesn't have the tickford turbo bodykit on, that would set it off nicely but I guess they're probably pretty hard to come by now.

Welcome Ricky.

Ricky mentioned to me that he has priced up having heavy-duty metal bumper brackets made up to replace the dodgy metal/plastic ones on the mk2. More info to follow, of course..................

i don't actually like the tickford kit i prefer the std look mostly and if you look carefully the body has a one of home made steel kit.

thanks for the welcome i will try and post some pics of my rover tomorrow
hi mal is there a forum that i don't see you on :lol: you must have more time than you know what to do with :? regards ricky
