Mine has no bumpers, no straps, no spots, no badges. And the gopro is SOOOOOOOO XXIst century   I see a badge-bar and overriders. Both add on weight  ... and there are fender lights adding air resistance.

I'm definitely going to take the badge bar off next week and review the spots
Don't tell me you think the Moggy got a streamline design - rather baroque and asking for adding jewellery.

I'm definitely going to take the badge bar off next week I've just had another look at your photo. I wouldn't do it. You're clearly not a "no badges at any price" man, and if you take them off I think you'll be putting them back before too long. But what I would do is straighten and tension that hood cover

But what I would do is straighten and tension that hood cover its a tonneau cover that goes over the hood and the rear seats I know what you mean though and I have a plan to make a tonneau cover brace that fits on to the rear side screen knob thingumy and goes under the tonneau cover just behind the front seats to keep it all tensioned and taught Another little tinkering project

This gives you the general idea.

Are you related? Nick Sadly not. Nor am I related to William Morris, Lord Nuffield, the car maker or, in fact, any other Morris who ever accomplished anything of note. I come from, and carry on, a proud tradition of complete obscurity.

I used to go Morris Dancing, but I kept slipping off the bonnet.. I thank you.
