Every time I talk about the current MK, I'm like a broken record. I'll tell people that I've loved racing one for the past five months or so, but whenever I'm asked how it was, the conversation will turn to the MK I've raced before: the Clubsport. With a bit of extra horsepower and an adapting chassis, it's unlocked potential that's unlikely to be seen for the rest of this generation of MKs, and that seems like a huge shame.

But where W ditched the anniversary special MK and won't offer a replacement, can the aftermarket fill the void? This is what I intended to discover, by borrowing the MK.
