Sorry Premium Grill fans. Come on, really it's not a thing of beauty now is it?
Maybe it could be improved just a tiny bit with a proper ROVER Viking Badge. Just Maybe though!!!!

Er...and WHICH 'proper' Rover badge would we be talking about? Can't see a P5 owner wanting your nasty modern 'proper' Rover badge somehow...

All very well being a purist but where does one start and where does one stop?

lol @ FROGGY & telferstr.............agreed it may not be a thing of absolute beauty but as nick says it does give the car real presence. And in any case, with the 75 V8 not having to concern itself with little things like gear changes you'll only ever see the back end anyway

all imho of course............

Quite agree Mike..

Here are four Rover 75 V8's all, as you can see with Premium bumpers.

This taken at the National meet at Peterbrough last year.

Now, whats wrong with the Premium bumper..

as much as i like the look of the premium bumper..it's the shutlines after the fitting which always stand out,they seem so wide.

It does make me think that the cars have all grown fashionable goatee beards with that bumper....

Did anyone look into the costs of having the chrome parts manufactured
it seems a real shame that so many of these bumpers are lying around
gathering dust
