MG and Dr Molly join forces to fix kids broken toys in a new TV series.

The super-fun MG3 has taken on a new role; it is now the ‘Mollymobile’, transporter of Dr Molly and Stripes to tend to children’s broken toys! Today, E-Bop.tv, a new children’s digital channel, has launched. MG Motor is pleased to announce a collaboration with E-Bop.tv and be part of their Dr Molly series.

Dr Molly specialises in fixing broken toys so, when a call comes through to Dr Molly HQ from a child in need, she calls upon her ‘Mollymobile’ MG3 to get her there as quickly as possible.
Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing for MG, said: “We are really pleased to be working with E-Bop.tv and to be involved in one of their new programmes. It’s fantastic to know that Dr Molly will be heading out to visit her patients in an MG3 as it reflects the fun side of not just the car, but of our brand too.”
E-Bop TV is the first British digital channel with an automatic control which switches off after two hours of programme watching. Children can watch exclusive British programmes or explore the ‘Cool Stuff’ zone, leaving parents safe in the knowledge that the screen time is limited and controlled.
Matthew added: “This new channel should prevent children watching too much television, instead allowing more time to get in the back of their MG3 and heading off out for some of their own adventures with their family!”
Victoria Brook, Director of Communications at E-Bop.tv said: “Dr Molly is a great series, which explores the nurture and kindness of a doctor that children can aspire to. We are thrilled that MG is onboard with their MG3 as our ‘Mollymobile’ and further strengthens our importance of being British.”

USA - Dodge extends the awesome Hellcat range colour scheme with new Carbon Fibre style stripes.

  • All-new SRT Hellcat dual exterior stripe design adds even more Dodge attitude to 2016 Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat models
  • SRT Hellcat-exclusive dual full-length carbon-fiber pattern stripes provide a customized-from-the-factory look
  • Dealers will start taking orders for Hellcat stripes in January 2016
  • SRT Hellcat dual stripes have a U.S. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $995
  • Dodge is answering enthusiast demand for Plum Crazy exterior paint with an additional one-month run of the legendary and limited-edition high-impact hue
For more than a year, Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat models.

The fastest and most powerful muscle cars ever with 707 supercharged HEMI® horsepower each — have stormed roadways and drag strips with acceleration blasts to 60 mph in the low 3-second range, generated more than 61 million sensational YouTube video views around the globe, enabled an entirely new generation of Dodge enthusiasts and now for 2016 have been rewarded with their very own Dodge performance stripes.




“The SRT Hellcat models are America’s ultimate performance car duo, and these already legendary Challenger and Charger models have given Dodge more than the title of ‘fastest and most powerful muscle cars ever,’ they continue to drive sales records, increase brand profitability, draw new and younger customers to the brand and fuel interest across our entire vehicle lineup – achievements worthy of earning an exclusive set of performance stripes,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA – North America.
All-new SRT Hellcat stripes further Dodge brand’s instant personalization from the factory
Adding even more Dodge attitude for 2016, all-new dual full-length body stripes give Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat models a factory-customized look. Finished with a carbon fiber pattern, the dual stripe design covers front and rear fascias, roof and deck lid, plus a tailored design around the SRT Hellcat’s signature NACA duct hood vent to emphasize both Challenger and Charger models’ functional yet aggressive design.

Ordering for the SRT Hellcat dual body stripe on these ultra-high performance Dodge Challenger and Charger models will start in January with a U.S. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $995.

In addition, Dodge has unleashed the full color palette with the all-new SRT Hellcat dual body stripe to maximize Challenger and Charger’s full personalization potential. The color palette includes Bright White Clear Coat, Redline Red, Pitch Black Clear Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat, Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Jazz Blue Pearl Coat, TorRed Clear Coat, Ivory White Tri-coat, Maximum Steel Metallic and limited-edition Plum Crazy Pearl Coat.
Plum Crazy extended for one more month of production
Given the exceptionally strong demand for Plum Crazy, the Dodge team is responding immediately to enthusiast demand and has extended the production of one of its most desired historic paint colors for the Dodge Challenger and Charger.

Initially, ordering for Plum Crazy was scheduled to end in December 2015. But exceptionally strong customer demand, plus the opportunity to pair this legendary high-impact hue with the new SRT Hellcat stripe, means dealers will be able to continue ordering the high-impact, highly popular color through January.

Since 1970, desire for this heritage hue continues to get stronger than ever – as the signature paint color is directly associated with high collectability and the famed “Mopar-or-no-car” legacy. Today, Dodge is offering Plum Crazy across the widest performance range of Challenger and Charger models ever, which includes.
2016 Dodge Challenger models:

  • Challenger SXT Plus
  • Challenger R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker, R/T Scat Pack, 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker
  • Challenger SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat

2016 Dodge Charger models:
  • Charger SXT (when equipped with 20-inch wheels)
  • Charger R/T and R/T Road & Track, R/T Scat Pack
  • Charger SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat

Mopar® – the FIAT Chrysler Automobiles brand for services, customer care, spare parts and accessories – has unveiled an extensive range of accessories and personalisation options for the new FIAT 500X crossover.

Over 100 high-quality accessories have been designed specifically for the FIAT 500X crossover to enhance its functionality and allow customers to adapt the look of their vehicle to their particular personalities. 


The unique range of 18-inch alloy wheels, for example, are offered in a range of colours and aesthetic treatments, including machined silver with white recesses, red wheels with black recesses and all-black wheels, and all priced from just £816* for a set of four.

Door mirror fairings are offered in nine colour options from just £61* per pair, while door moulding inserts are available in five finishes from £214* a set and there are also a range of original decals for the roof, bonnet and upper and lower body sides in a variety of colours designed to coordinate perfectly with other accessories in the same colour. 

Pricing for side decals start at just £81* while the roof/bonnet decals start at £127*.

There are six “Xtra Pack” kits available which combine a selection of options in single, great-value bundles. The kits - offered in white, red, bronze and beige - feature matching bonnet/roof stripes, mirror fairings and door moulding inserts and are priced at just £305*, a saving of almost £100 compared to the individually-priced parts. 

For those who prefer the classic look, the Chrome Xtra Pack (Pop, Pop Star and Lounge only) includes chrome-effect mirror fairings, door moulding inserts, fog light trims and a chrome bonnet moulding, while the Black Xtra Pack includes black bonnet and roof decals and black mirror caps but excludes door moulding inserts as the mouldings are already black.
