Re: Door capping

Hi Ian
Done that, and there is a different part number but apart from the minor end shape difference I was wondering if the length was the same etc πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Door capping

I have a question for anyone who knows both the roadster and gt well,

-- is there much difference between the front door capping (above the handles/winders) I need a set for my roadster but the gt ones are more available and I wondered if they could be modified ?

Thanks
Dave

1970 Wing badge

My 1970 MGB wing has a small British Union flag where there Is usually a Leyland badge

The 1970 MGB on Wikipedia has the Leyland badge

Is mine a customisation or was that year on the cusp of Leyland labelling and both were factory fitted 🀷🏻

Cheers
