Default Rover 75 pvc wing protectors?

Just come across something on a rave cd, I've been given for my birthday. Towards the end of 2001 it appears mg rover was selling off rover group products at special prices with a list of products etc.

One such thing that caught my eye was the rover seventy five pvc wing protectors.

Does anyone have any pictures of these?

Thanks
Rob

Any pictures Simon please? I have a thick piece of felt that I put over the wings when I am messing in the engine department.

Simon, if and when you can, would you mind posting some pictures?

Don't suppose you have any other similar obscure items such as the plastic seat protectors or the paper floor mats that dealers would have used do you?

When I try to upload the pictures from my iPad to the image gallery I get a message saying that the file is not an image.

Does anyone understand this computer nonsense?

Probably the pictures are too large in MB size. I usually mail pictures from my iPhone to my Macbook, it then asks what size: small, medium or large. Usually find medium is OK for the forum (anything under 1mb).

Good luck

Funnily enough I was having a sort out in the garage yesterday, 10 bin bags and an old lawn mower loaded into the tourer for a tip run...... Whilst sorting out I have uncovered my K series liner retaining tools, the special tool for removing the fuel tank ring on the 75/ZT, factory printed manual for the 75 and some other bits and pieces including the 75 wing covers. These are the heavy duty grey items that are in two parts and go on the wings and cover the bumper with cut outs for the headlights

I get this a lot and can never remember how to get round it as I don’t post pictures often. I’ve tried to upload some pictures of my wing covers from my iPhone and getting the same message about not being an image. I have emailed the photos to my iPad selected large as the size and they worked no problem. I wonder if it’s the size it’s not happy with?
