It finally arrived all the way from Roewe China!!!!

My Chinese spec Roewe 750 bumper for my green car arrived after the slow boat from China to England and then another to Northern Ireland.

Be a while before its painted and fitted but at least it's here now and I think the new custom raised and painted rover 75 enamel badge is simply fantastic.

Be a while before its painted and fitted. Need to source a good mk2 rear bumper, lip spoiler and change the rear boot lid at same time to an immaculate one.

Thanks folks.

My big issue is what wheels do I choose for her.

I've a set of Serpents that I could refurbish but I don't think they would suit the car.

I think the only wheel I can fit really is a 17 inch starspoke but I'm really unsure.

Wheels will be done in Sparkle silver and calipers etc all in black but I'm unsure what type to go for.

Opinions.

Cheeky so and so.

It's been sitting packed up in my workshop since the 8th July, waiting for you to send Parcel Force.........

I look forward to the pics.

Depends on your budget I suppose, but what about a nice brand new set of Subaru (or Wolfrace) alloys.

Lots of £££ but would really suit a R75 or MG ZT(T)

I'm sorely tempted, but her indoors would insert them, bodily!

Would never have subaru wheels on my car, bar the 7 spoke ones I don't like them.

I'm really struggling with what direction to do rims wise.

I don't think straights will work, all the 75 rims won't suit imo (Serpents, Meteors).

Tbh the idea rim for me would be the 17 inch export multispoke one but can't find a set.

Maybe the 5 spoke chunky 17 inch mg rim also.

Ah Tom you not miss it taking up space =p

Your car your choice, of course.... But, what I was aiming at is that there is a massive 'aftermarket' availability for wheels that fit Subaru's, and what fits Subaru's will also fit R75's & MG ZT(T)'s. So you'd have far more choice than just 'bog standard' Subaru wheels
