Does anybody recognise it?

Not a premium bumper mate, a cheap Chinese Roewe bumper I’m afraid.

It’s a nice looking car. Certain not seems to have that air of being looked after. I actually quite like the bumper, I know it’s not a genuine Rover but I’d still have one!

I agree, the front end looks very imposing and classy in black. But I wonder if the chrome-less front bumper sides will look mis-matched to the bling on the Mk1 rear bumper when you see it from the side.

I think it would look a little mismatched given the lack of chrome inserts like the original and still along the sides and the rear bumper but it woildnt look out of place on my facelift😎

That bumper would be better fitted to the local civic amenity site

The thing is, the Chinese copy bumpers, and I say copy, because they certainly weren't genuine Roewe 750 don't fit, the headlight apertures are huge, the jigsaw puzzle part that abuts the wing, well doesn't, and you need a steel rule to disengage the safety catch on the bonnet.

It would look nice with a proper bumper on it though, there is a nice Raven Black car moved in about three streets from me, and it looks really classy

Yeah I know someone who got so annoyed with the Bonnet catch not disengaging because these bumpers are such a poor fit he took it off and chucked it on a bonfire and bought a real premium bumper and started again, and before anybody assumes it was me I wouldn’t of fitted one in the first place no matter how much I was offered.
