The mini needs new bumpers because the standards are rusted to hell inside. I see places selling Stainless bumpers, non-genuine for £21, or genuine Rover for £40. Are the non-genuine ones good? Or will I be buying a cheap fixer upper?

I've been out and bought non genuine bumpers many times in the past and every time I've taken them straight back. I won't be doing it again. In my experience non-genuine bumpers (particularly Hadrian ones) never even fit on the car.

ive had the same problem with no gen,they dont fit good at all,so its worth getting gen ones.

or you can do what I did on this years riv-run....


Wait by the bins after someone's just dumped their original ones, because they've just sheared off the bolts to fit their nasty cheapo stainless ones

[oggy1380]

haha,thats a good idea,ive fixed quite a few where the bolts have sheared off,or the brackets have snapped
