Looking good

Definite improvement over the standard grille on a Mk 2!

Looks great, not sure on the LED's. Personally I love the old charm of the MKI but it does show how progressive and modern our cars could be if produced today

That looks fabulous. Rowee grile looks better than the MG7 IMO.

I agree with parker....looks great but it's more a Roewe now than a Rover......I prefer the MK 1 front end.

Looks fantastic. Something else to add to my 'to do' list. Needs a rover badge tho.

i like the LED's as i did this to my old car and mounted them inside the light unit its self but due to the heat that comes of the headlights it didnt take long before some of the LEDS in the srtip stoped working so there were gaps, do you know what type they have used?

Shaun233 · 9th March 2013, 18:39

Thanks gus for all your comments I'm not sure what LEDs the body shop used just hoping that they don't blow as that's one part that I really like and look much better than in real life than in the photos
I did plan on putting the rover badge on the front I had to cut the rover badge down slightly to get it to fit but when I fitted it I didn't like it as much as the Rowe badge so now I have a dilemma do I change all the wheel centre badges to Rowe or leave as standard

I do like that very much,well done

Now you need led sidelight bulbs & fogs to match,a nice white colour i think
