If you want to replace the manufacturer emblem, follow these steps. Use a plastic tool to avoid damaging the bodywork.

Place a cloth near the logo to be removed and leverage between the logo and the body to pry it out at multiple points until it comes free from its seat. Using needle-nose pliers, gently remove the two plastic clips and install two new ones.

At this point, simply position the emblem onto the two clips and push it down. To change the color of the emblem, you need the appropriate decals.

Remove the backing of your preferred color and apply it to the emblem in the correct spot. At the end of the job, you can apply a protective film by simply removing the clear backing and applying it over the logo.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
