Old bumpers where peeling and rusty, does anyone know where i can buy a new pair? Its for a 1989 racing flame, the ones that i have look slightly different from each other, front is more rounded at the ends

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Cheers for the heads up! Looks like minisport it is then

Something like this is probably your best bet (also explains why one of your current ones has curled ends):

Note: Genuine Rover bumpers show as out of stock on the Minispares website and they don't recommend the chrome variety. You may get genuine elsewhere, but they'll be expensive.

Mini Spares is probably the best man

front is more rounded at the ends

Could be a rear clubman bumper? Worth a bit more if you sell it.

I'll get some photo's up of both to compare!

I have a non genuine stainless one from Minispares. Its a good fit with neither end touching any of the bodywork. Its just a bugger to keep clean! Mine is also a three bolt design rather than five.

Hmm, stainless or chrome? Which will last longer/easy to clean?

[chrisls]

Stainless is better IMO.

I never clean mine, and they don't rust.

You'll probably get a better shine with chrome, once, then it'll flake, peel off and rust underneath.

[E.L.M.O]

Mini spares, or painted!
