I spoke to Carrie again late last night.

Choice of either

Roewe750 or Rover 75 premuim bumper - spray it yourself
£495 including freight

Rover 75 or Roewe 750 premium grille £145 including freight.

She is going to see if she can get me the indicator and spot fittings for the Rover 75 premium bumper, I will speak to her again later in ther week.

Excellent update again. For some of the newbies out there can you post comparative picutres next to each other so people ask for the correct spec to rule out any "oops I don't want that type" incidents.

This sounds like the carrie I spoke to a couple of weks ago. She is quite happy to deal with individuals and quoted a price for the bumper at £150 plus Air Frieght which is obviously expensive !

Is someone in the Club going to be able or willing to organize a group or something for the benefit of members at unit cost price ?

I would like to be added to any list if one is going to be made.

Regards.

Arry.

The £150 IS posiibly the air freight for the bumper, The bumper itself is USD395

If they were £150 I would have a hundred on the way to me by now

I am certain the prices are hiked up for british customers who own plenty of Rovers but they have all the bits. How Ironic is that. bit like sending them chopsticks for £50 a pair with £20 postage

Not as bad as British suppliers charging almost £50 for a front indicator

Stephen, have a word with Corin (Messenger), he had some new face lift indicators a while back. I've got a pair if you need to borrow them.

Hi I bought acomplete premium from Rover breakers but initally I bought one of the unpainted 'blanks' on E-Bay. I do have spare M2 indicators but i have simply 'clicked them in to the blank & I believe thats how they are fitted to he premium on my car but for sure i'd like to finish the blank. I do terefore have spare indicators & also the spots from my MK1 which the premiu replaced I'll look to see if they are the same & get back t you..well done!!

I must say I prefer the shape of the Rover Premium grill to the Roewe grill. I'm deffinitely interested in the Premium grill, especially if the fittings are available for it and the fogs.

I'm getting all a'quiver!

Whoa there Devilish, I don,t want to make a big issue of this but I have just double checked the email that 'my' Carrie sent me and I can confirm that she told me that the cost of the Bumper was USD 150 (sorry if I said £ before) Plus the Air Freight charge which she would advise me of the cost when I placed an order.

I don,t know why the amounts for the bumper differ so much, perhaps someone is trying to get as much money from buyers as they think they will pay when these things are sold ? or perhaps I have just read it wrongly.

What I can do is forward you, or anybody else for that matter, a copy of the email I recieved from Carrie so you can read it for yourself. If you would like a copy let me know your email address.

Kind Regards,

Arry.
