Default Roverbreaker has found the V8 bumpers

As long been touted on the forum that Roverspares had a container full of bumpers some of them premium style, well he has located them and they are on ebay... unfortunately these are unfinished and about as much use as a choc teepot as they don't have the fixings for the indicators, fogs grills etc.

Some nice prices on Mk1 bumpers though.

Check it out

As you say if these haven't got the brackets fitted and other parts are no longer available.
Not much good.

That's right, only useful to someone that has it fitted already and has damaged the plastic.

What a shame,they look fantastic.

Would it be a task too far to get the fixings fabricated?

For that price it would be worth fabricating some brackets to hold the fogs and indicators.

The grill surround could be more of a problem though!

well, thats the only "large" bit of the set up - sure someone can talk to a chinese man somewhere to get the rest with comparatively low carriage? You'll have to have a different badge system though...

The chrome surround on Chinese version cars doesn't fit mores the shame.

I find it strange that the mounts would be added after painting....

They weren't David,
there was plenty of these bumpers offered in unfinished specification to clear.
None had the Fog-light fittings etc which are normally moulded into the bumper.
Most strange.

Just asked if they have a standard bumper in HNA. If so I'll pop up and get it. Saves painting mine.

For anyone with a premium that cannot get the chrome but has all the other bits. Why not go to a bodyshop and ask them to finish it with filler. I think they would still loom amazong even if not chromed. Foose style.
