Nice job! And now prepare for painting I assume??

rashi_g_h · 1st December 2013, 19:57

No yet.
Need to fiberglass around the grill area.
I am merging two things into my premium bumper.

Mg Rover Premium bumper + Roewe Grille + Mk1 light sorrounds.
the main fiber glass has been put on the light surrounds, next is the Grille area, then I need to add poly filler and sand it down before painting....
Still long way to go....
But i will get there soon!

Sean sold the last Roewe bumper recently........ (in BRG....) On his site it isn't possible anymore to order them.

You already have MK2 lights, so than it's not that difficult job...
Only the fog lights and blinking lights needs to be modified as the connectors are completely different.

Brett. Dont worry too muck.
premium bumpers jump out on ebay every now and then, so does the Roewe grilles. its only a metter of some one selling it on as an "unfinished project".
It is still possible but it will take longer. so you need to have patients.
