Default Zircon Silver Cowley rear bumper

I could do with a tidy rear bumper for my Cowley in Zircon silver as the previous owner should have had parking sensors fitted
Ideally not a million miles away from Norfolk but will consider other options to get it here if a nice bumper is available further afield.
My only other option is to get the original resprayed but that is likely to be rather more pricey and means i'll be without transport for work for a few days which will be a major inconvenience so fingers crossed

Hello,

Me too! I was in touch today with Cabletie, the Devon and Cornwall Regional Secretary who has a Zircon silver mark 1 ZT bumper, but of course it won't have the black Cowley trim we both need and the ZT has a cut-out for the exhaust. Otherwise it would be perfect!

My car's rear bumper has been resprayed twice due to selfish drivers who park 'by touch'. And I have had to replace two bits of chrome trim too!

Respraying plastic bumpers seems far from ideal as the paint cracks more easily on impact.

Good luck with your search - and mine .

All the best, Nicholas/Zircon

It was his advert that reminded me to post a wanted ad tbh ... I'm trying to keep my Cowley as original as i can so any mods and additions she gets will all have been options available at purchase. Took a while to get a Cowley set of leathers for her but worth the wait and got embossed head rests too

Well done! You should consider doing the Cowley Convoy next April - a drive from the Oxford Mini Plant where our early cars were built through the Cotswolds to the Pride of Longbridge with lots of other Cowley-built cars from the 1960s (and earlier) to modern times!

All the best and here's hoping someone finds a stash of perfect Zircon silver rear bumpers hidden away ,

Hi, I wonder if you managed to get a Zircon silver Cowley rear bumper?

I am still looking for one if anyone can help?

All the best,
