Rover did make Wood Trim Kits

JohnDotCom · 29th July 2007, 23:21

I never realized and have not seen anywhere before, but I have just come across Rover accessories for the 75,
with part numbers and Install instructions for all the Radios, TV's switches, Air Con, Clock surround etc in different Colour Wood Trim Kits.
They even go completely under the Mirror switches!
Has anyone else ever seen these or heard of them?
Part Nos. all Started VUB from VUB000280 a few pages of them.
Nothing I can see on EPC, Information dated 2004, was this all due to be realeased or was it?

I saw a 1999 rover 75 for sale about 4 years ago, this had the genuine Rover kit fitted. I think was before the kits became availble from TOC and the other firm supplying them now.
When I went to the Rover dealer to try and buy a kit I found they had stopped making them in late 1999. I have been unable to track one down from then on..

The original Rover kit didn't last long at all - as Duotone says 1999 was the end date. I've never seen one up on ebay nor available from a dealer.

Thanks Guys, I thought I'd never seen them at all just just hoping.
It would seem they did 3 different finishes, but as you say that was 1999 and yet these finishes were not out then, also were on the very last W/S disc from MGR on how to fit..
