Hi,

I want to get a new set of bumpers for Lily, but im not too sure wheres best to get them from. I want to buy some good quality ones that wont rust. At the minute she has "stainless steel" ones on, but they only have a stainless coat on them, so they've rusted underneath and thats pitting through. Im guessing they were really cheap, although I didnt buy them, they were new on her when I bought her.

I was just wondering if anyone can reccomend somewhere to get some from?!

I dont mind spending a bit more on them, I just want them to last and be good quality.

Thanks
:proud:

Minispares are doing factory seconds Rover S/S bumpers at the moment at a good price (approx £32). The defect is a ripple on the unseen top edge of the bumper. I bought a set and you cannot tell the diference when fitted. And you cannot doubt the quality of the real McCoy, I only change the originals mine on my 2000 Coper Sport after 9 years as some *willy* had dented the rear and the front had been twanged by a stone.

I brought a rear non genuine one to replace an odd dented and rusted bumper. Finish isnt good as the genuine item and fittings are different, but are really better than i expected. I'd buy them again, saving up money to spend on other side.
