So nice. Are they genuine 250 tail lights?

Just realized the one country in the planet likely to know the other lights are MG is the UK

Went to Dna today to swop over my rear wheels to larger ones
Also got my rear lights changed
Looks like DNA has gone the extra mile with these lights, well done Brian

Has the extra rubber on the rear made a difference?

Not sure if folks have seen the nubodi cars but the DNA product is a far superior replica.

Lovely!

It would be funky if the winders were hooked up to a clutched switch mechanism so that when you 'wind' it, the glass rises or lowers :)

Re Windows.  It shouldn't be too much problem to fit a couple of micro switches to the handle so that you just press it down to lower the window and lift it to raise the window.
If you are doing this for aesthetic reasons then the problem comes in of where you fit the switch to work the passengers window from the drivers side.  Or do you just give it a poke with a stick.?
Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

Good point. The 'clutched' switch allows for a turning motion to emulate real motion and add the attention to detail I really love. A simple old-style chrome switch somewhere could manage the left-right issue. Etched symbols on an escutcheon would help too.

But a 'window stick' is a good idea too

Just watched the vid.  Fantastic.  Retro look but modern features.  100%.  No less than you would expect from a DNA.
