Unlike earlier MGs, the MGF and MG TF were designed with minimal factory chrome, body-coloured bumpers, plastic grilles, and painted mirror surrounds were the design default, reflecting the contemporary 1990s and 2000s styling brief. The Bright Pack was an optional factory-fit package that added traditional brightwork to the standard car. On MGF, the Bright Pack comprised stainless steel front and side grilles; on MG TF, it added the rear grille as well (giving stainless on front, sides, and rear). Both models' Bright Packs also included chrome finish door handles replacing the standard primed-and-painted handles, plus some interior bright detailing.
A Bright Pack car is visually distinct from a standard-finish car, the stainless grilles and chrome handles catch the light and create a more traditional sports-car aesthetic. The items in this section cover the Bright Pack components as original-specification replacements, plus aftermarket alternatives and additional brightwork accessories for owners of standard-specification cars who want a similar effect.
