Hi

 

I know there's a lot on here and people say that they all have to adjust the after market bumpers but which ones are best out of the box?

 

Also, what adjusting can you actually do with a bumper?

 

I had thought to get my original ones re-chromed but the outfit I got a quote from wanted £800. I nearly choked!

 

Thanks,

 

Rod

Minispares Genuine bumper that fits perfectly as per original ROVER bumpers.

"Better than the last genuine bumpers produced for Rover - BEWARE - most others on the market made in stainless are poor fitting--Although many look the correct shape they will only fit the front with manipulation, but are very difficult to fit on the rear as they are kinked.
This has rolled over ends for safety critical homologation(1996)and also allows extra clearance on fitment to the sportspack arches.The rolled over ends were never clean and always sligtly rippled. Made in Automotive stainless steel to a polished chrome like finish it still requires washing and cleaning very regularly owing to the areas where they are fitted. Fitted with fixing bolts but no nuts.
Better than the last Genuine stainless steel originals these are to the quality Pianoforte reached when first supplying Rover with the open ended bumper DPB10165 which replaced the steel chromed version.
Pianoforte then had tooling problems making GENUINE bumpers difficult to fit so Minispares have come to the rescue again taking 2 years to get it perfect in looks and fitting with the curled end edges made less dangerous than the originals.
Please note that most car parts are made in automotive 430 stainless which is magnetic as opposed to pure stainless which is not magnetic.
The same bumper with holes for the deluxe corner bars and overiders is available as 14A9871
Best finished bumper in the market place."

I've got one on the dining room table ready to fit to the rear as it currently has a stainless front and pitted chrome rear, I hope mine fits as you say Steve220. It looks nice and blingy! Minispares forgot to send mine with my other parts but they sent it out pretty quick after an email.
