Hi Tommy

Ill Check It , tonight , I Think you are right, The Chinese Salesman told me from ROEWE

I Looked at the Other Posting , I Have the ROEWE 750 Bumper too

It's assumed they will, but nobody's tried it yet. The superficial appearance suggests it will fit the 75/ZT, but there could be subtle differences that haven't been spotted as yet. IMO the Roewe issue needs practical confirmation on a sample before people commit to it.

The MG7 fitting seems almost certain, but again, until a practical demonstration is made, we are assuming it from the images. IMO the MG7 bumper is basically the MGR Premium bumper. That means the MG7 grill and lower vent grills should indeed fit the MGR Premium bumper.

ROEWE 750 Bumper

It's now clear to me that the small grill panels you posted are for the Roewe bumper not the MG7.

The MG7 lower grills appear identical to the MGR Premium bumper grills and are rectangular (actually trapezoidal). I've not seen a photo of these (the MG7 ones) as yet. Do you have any more images of the parts you have?

EDIT: I believe the Roewe foglamps are integrated/fitted beneath the indicators. The fog bezels you posted don't seem relevant to the MG7 or the MGR Premium so maybe they are are for another model. Are they standard ZT bezels (??)

I Will see about getting them, assuming the Bumpers and Grills are available I would have to assume that those 2 Parts are also available.

They are also Something for the MG7 Standard Bumper

I know I have mentioned this a while ago now, but it is a job I am not willing to mess with in feeezing conditions. I am hoping that by Feb 2nd I should have a detailed 'how to' with detailed pics of fitting the MG7 two piece grille and MG7 chrome surround to a Rover premium bumper. Then fitting the bumper to a MkII 75, but not in sub zero teperature or snow. I envisage wheelarch liner and undertray issues. This is a long drawn out process and there are many questions that can only be answered as T-Cut pointed out, by actual fitting. The parts are expensive if it ends up a waste of money for people, .

I am also hoping by the end of Feb to have a Roewe 750 grille and surround, and by trial, post its suitability to be fitted to a Rover premium bumper. The next step shortly after, will be the Roewe 750 bumper to fit the Roewe 750 grille to, then fitting the Roewe 750 bumper to a Rover 75. T-Cut has already pointed out that the superficial appearance can be missleading, it may also require bumper accessories such as the need for the Roewe infill that rests upon the crash beam because the Rover one might not fit without adapting it to such a degree it renders it useless for the 75, your original 75 bumper is of little use or value without the infill. I only hope that were the Roewe 750 bumper is secured to the slam panel, and where the blades slot into the slots on the wings have not been changed to ad degree that it is impossible to fit. Or the crash beam has not been re designed to accomodate the Roewe 750 bumper.

A little more patience is required, myself, trebor and T-Cut are working on retro fitting.

Radioguy will be the supplier. You can order at will, or await forthcoming how to's with part requirements/availability/arrival in the UK

Am I crazy if I think the head lights of a Roewe 750 are slight different than the MG7/R75 MK2 ones?? in my opinion the Roewe 750 are more diagonal or slanted (how do you say it in proper English), than the MG7/R75 ones.

Is it, or am I seeing ghosts???

Does anyone know if the MG7 limo grille (the one that fits the premium bumper) centre chrome section is removable so that only the chrome surround can be fitted. I have seen one photo of a chrome surround without the chrome badge holder cut out fitted, but I don't know if current MG7 grilles are the same. Have asked Sean to check.

Default MG7/Roewe light

Don't forget if your looking at using the headlights from the Roewe or MG7 they are for LHD.

The pic you posted of Stubies' surround did not have a badge mount removed or filed away, and it never went into preduction, he was in the right place at the right time.
The MG7 chrome surround is below, it is in one piece..
You can put a hacksaw to it but it will not look quite right
