The trafficmaster fit is covered in great detail on the 'other side'. http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthrea...highlight=TMC:

Does the trafficmaster system work on the continent?

Fitting Xenon units is relatively straightforward, the only vaguely tricky bit being the removal of the front bumper. The xenon headlights simply replace the existing halogen units - no change in wiring is required. There are no 'legal' problems over here in the UK, don't know about France though. The difficult bit is finding a pair of xenon units - I just sold my spare set, but you might find a pair of LHD ones on ebay.

I did a post on my front parking sensor fit here: http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=148239 I must admit I did not do it the easy way, which would have been to use an aftermarket kit. If you go the OEM route, the difficult bit is finding the loom from a rear bumper system.

Thanks a lot for your information. I will make some research now.
Concerning Traficmaster, it seems that it exists here under the name of V-Trafic from Mediamobile which have some deal with Traficmaster. To what extent are they compatible? I'm not sure, as I have not tried it yet.

Union Jack badges on C pillars

Rover shields below side indicators (repeaters)

Mudflaps (only three at the moment because one fell off/was nicked)

Inner wheelarches painted body colour (the factory obviously couldn't be bothered)

Return lip on bonnet sides painted body colour (the factory obviously couldn't be bothered)

Hinged Glovebox lid (the factory obviously couldn't be bothered)

Personalised plate (see Avitar) R 1 TPK, thats 'R' for 'Rover' 1, followed by my initials 'TPK'

Oh and I forgot to mention, I've also installed a footpump in the front passenger footwell because the nearside rear has a slow puncture.......
