Roewe bumper fitted

[Devilish]

After a mamoth undertaking by Sean (Radioguy) Roewe 750 parts arrived to test fit.
Roewe bumper
Unpainted,

Air ducts push in from the front, secured by barbed plastic blades that are part of the air ducts.


Combined fog/indicator light units (Note the projector type fogs)


Can be either fixed to the mounts with captive screws

Or my prefered method, brass nuts & bolts, bit fiddly but hey ho.
Note the indicator bulb holder is different to MkI & MkII, the plug socket is also different meaning MkI & MkII loom plug will not fit either.


As you can see


No problem to me tommy! hey presto, roewe indicator bulb holders


Lower side grilles.

These are held in place by 4 plastic pins that protrude through the 4 holes in the grille. They can be held in place by either a hot iron, malting the plastic pin to the grille. I prefered a epoxy adhesive.


Main grille.

Secured to the bumper by 2 bolts at the top, and 13 suitable pan head screws. Start at the top working your way down the sides, pushing the grille towards the bumper ans you work your way down the grille, as the grille is a little less convex than the front of the bumper, but flexes ok.


Assembled


Bumper bolts direct to the slam panel.

Fitting is straight forward, the undertraty meets up with the bumper precisely. and the wheelarch liners meet up with the bumper nicely also.

How is this for a shutline




Sean (Radioguy) Has undertaken a mamoth, arduous, and expensive task sourcing all the parts, and a shipping method to the UK.

Sean has the only one available at the moment up for sale on eBay, to give everyone a fair chance of owning the first one for ssle in the UK (or anywhere else as far as i know)

Contact Sean for shipment ETA, all the hard work has been done,

I must say that looks very impresive

[Johnny the Fox]

Looks good Apart from the Roewe badge on the grille

Quite frankly an awesome edition for any mk2 owner. I must admit, id be tempted to do it to the zt as it needs a front respray. Final kit costs will be what its all about.

Again well done to sean, he has done so much for the forum, we should ship him a 75 to canada!

This is going on my wish list

great pics Steve with the usual how to built in, twas a great day yesterday and I can tell anyone who is a bit unsure about the Roewe badge that it looks superb in the flesh as does the whole bumper look absolutely awesome !

I have just fitted a premium bumper on mine but am now seriously considering fitting one of these instead, the top of the chrome grille is a lot thicker than the premium and as Steve mentioned you cant see the join !

Looks stunning - really good end result

Not wishing to be pedantic, but I met a guy in the south of France who had fitted one of these, and he commented that the gap around the headlights was bigger on the Chinese grille and he had also sourced the Chinese headlights to fit.

It does look from your photos that the gaps are larger. I wonder also if there are any insurance implications both of fitting a modified front end, and of using non-EU homologated lighting parts, including the foglights. Have you declared the mod to your insurers .

Very impressive bit of work, Steve.

No. The average fibreglass bumper offers no protection, so a replacement abs plastic wont be an issue.

Stick a rover 75 badge on it and who would know, its simply a chinese spec replacement oem premium grill bumper.

Tell them that and its truthful and honest. Its like the mgb guys changing from rubber to chrome bumpers!
