Montego Sticker question

[Guest]

Hi. Im getting nearer to the end of this montego i have had painted but need a little guidence on something.

It is a 2.0l built in 1989 so would it have had the red 2.0l stickers on the doors and bonnet and would it origonaly have had a pinstripe like some i have seen?

Thanks

Hi Ben
In 1989 you would not have had any pinstripe or the 2.0i on the doors or bonnet.
You would only have have the MG 2.0i on the bootlid and the MG on the bonnet

If its a facelifted one (late 89) then I thought they did have bonnet and door 2.0i stickers??

I thought that but not according to my 1990 Rover Todays Cars

Now this is strange, I just looked in my Todays cars.
The April/May 1990 shows no stickers, but the Oct/Nov 1990 one does.

From what I remember when the facelift was introduced there were not decals on the bonnet or doors but there were on the MG Maestro doors.
I would assume that the 2.0i was added later on Montego's.

I also assume from Turbo MG's post that this is an injection and not Turbo as his profile has a white Turbo?

Thank you. That answers my question. It is an injection. The car is going to the local body shop on Thursday to get it finished off as I just don't have the time. I will get them to put the badges back on and give it the final polish.
