Dad's ordered some carbon fibre ones for his van (when it's finally finished!), to match his bumbers he bought at malvern... they havn't turned up yet, although they should look good.

Would be interested to anyone else with carbon ones

Got overiders on my MPI thinking about getting bars too

[iMurray]

Like it! And bars are a yes.


Black was cool!

Just a note I'd like to add, if you have an Italian job style spot lamp bar, front corner bars will not fit. The short ones mean that the over riders fit in the same place the lamp bar fits on either side, and the longer ones mean that the corner bars would need to go through the spot lamp bar. It might be possible to make a modification to make them fit; my spot lamp bar doesn't sit vertical, so I think it might be possible to modify it so it moves back a bit, allowing the corner bar to pass in front of it.

Hmm, differing light/corner bar designs seem to give different results, mine fit just fine I admit they are obscured a bit completely when I've got the fogs on for winter

Tfclan, maybe yours wouldn't fit because you've got the IJ bar fitting kit for the Mk2 onwards grille and I've got the kit for the Mk1 grille, and maybe the Mk2 onwards fitting kit brings the bar out further? Like I said, could also be different corner bars and different lamp bars.

Anyway, here's a picture for you...

They are a pain to fit and get right. Dont tighten them too much.

ignore my hands, I'm trying to work out where to put my reverse light and fog. They were originally where the overiders now sit so i need to re-locate them but not sure where.

And heres a pic with the in-laws weekend motor - lucky gits.

I haven't got the corner bars, just the over riders on their own.

So those bumpers are the no lip version with the support bracket? It looks like it's fitted perfectly so that gives me some confidence.

Not sure what you mean by no lip, but it is a cheap crap bumper from mini spares! Fits fine I suppose! Dull as hell though. Couldn't find a 'good' original bumper when I needed, so had to make do with this.
