The MGF, like the sports cars whose spirit it revived, offers only a modest boot, and owners who want to carry more, whether touring, attending shows, or simply making the most of a weekend away, have long turned to a boot rack. The classic-style stainless steel boot rack catalogued for the MGF adds genuine carrying capacity at the rear of the car while evoking the traditional luggage racks of earlier MG sports cars, giving a period look that suits the marque's heritage. Finished in stainless steel, it resists the corrosion that would attack a plated rack and keeps its appearance through years of use.
Fixed and Clamp-On Patterns
Two patterns of classic-style stainless steel rack are offered for the MGF. The first is a permanently fixed type, secured with domed stainless steel bolts that add a measure of security against the rack being removed.
The second is a clamp-on type fitted with protective rubber-lined clamps, which grip the bodywork without permanent fixing and protect the paint at the contact points, the choice for owners who prefer not to drill or who want to remove the rack readily. Both are stainless and both carry the classic style; the decision rests on whether a permanent, more secure installation or a removable, paint-friendly one is preferred. A boot rack strap with buckle, supplied by the metre, completes the setup for securing luggage to the rack.
An MGF Item
These classic-style boot racks are catalogued specifically for the MGF. Owners should note this model distinction when ordering and confirm the rack and any strap requirement against their car. The strap is a sensible companion to either rack pattern, allowing soft luggage or cases to be held securely for touring.
Fitting and Ordering
The fixed rack calls for careful, secure mounting using the supplied stainless bolts, while the clamp-on type fits without drilling thanks to its rubber-lined clamps and can be removed when not needed. Both are straightforward for an owner to fit with basic tools and care taken to protect the paintwork.
When ordering, choose between the fixed and clamp-on patterns according to preference, and add the buckled strap by the length required to secure whatever luggage is to be carried.
