Very nice work indeed! Am interested to see the LCD speedo you are going to fit.

arjan_m · 22nd April 2017, 15:05

LCD speedo will be retrofitted in a few weeks

But first, I got my hands on a Harman Kardon set, I already had the tweeters.
Today I fitted the sub and the Harman Kardon grill for the sparcel shelf.

I have to fit the HK amplifier and cabling, that will be happening next weeks. First I am gonna adjust the cabling so I can get the set easily out in the future.

I am curious how the system will sound than, and if you hear a good difference with the sub.

Oh, and a little detail I did fit this week!

The warning triangle...

Great work there! Nice to see the progession of the project, with the various changes coming together!

I must say, I do like the R750 front bumper!

Keep it up!

Mk2 look really suits dark cars imo, this comes along brilliantly.

arjan_m · 24th April 2017, 18:31

I think that as well, MK2 along with a deep grille (Premium or 750) is a great combo. Especially on dark colours.

Speaking of which... Wednesday I can pickup the fresh painted bumpers...

Wow! 400+ euro every 3 months for a Rover 75 diesel

that is 340+ British pounds. If that happens here in UK, I cant see any diesel motors left on our roads either.

I see the Netherlands also want to band the sale of Diesel and Petrol cars by 2025, is this true?

Well done by the way, great looking car, you sure dont hand around.

Roadtaxes are ridiculous over here.... At the moment a 75/ZT diesel costs 412 euro every three months.... A petrol 75 costs 160 euro every 3 months.

Indeed, they don't want diesels in the Netherlands. In some cities you may not drive if you have a diesel which is build in or before 2002. And that year goes up every year....

Thanks for the compliment, my 75 keeps my busy.

But that is what I like to do, finding special things, adding accessoires, but all original for the 75. The 750 bumper is the only exception on that, I prefer to look at it as semi-original...

The bumeprs are back!

I just put the grilles back in and the lights.

I have to fit de PDC, and than the rear bumper is ready as well.
Than find some time to fit of course

Yesterday I fitted the Roewe 750 front bumper

Most fiddly was the new handle for the bonnet, but with some patience it came out.

Next is the rearbumper, than another project is finished
