Default What a surprise

To find these at a local car boot sale yesterday for £2, no brackets but I already have some.



Cheers

Well we all have to start somewhere, when are you hoping to get the rest of the car?

Not going to bother with the rest far to unreliable these MG Rovers, they all suffer from head gasket failure the clutches are always giving out and a car with a full MOT is only worth sixpence.
I only bought these to keep the frost off my marigold seedlings.

There are no brackets. It looks like Australian head light protectors. They slide under the top of the bumper above the light, and under the light and between the bumper beneath the light, and the four silicone blobs rest on the head light glass. Fitted.
I have similar ones on two of my Rovers, but for the early lights. Work fine!

OK, let me add to my statement: there are no brackets to the version fitting the early lights. I have those.

The later lights might need one.
