A set of distinctive pepperpot wheels together with graded graphics along each fl ank and a black plastic spoiler around the rear window frame identifi ed the
MG Metro from the rest of the pack. Subtle tuning to the A-Series Plus engine on the hot version managed to squeeze out a few extra brake horsepower.
