Bodykits are avaliable (side skirts, front and rear skirts) etc..

I don't know about engine components

JDL Tuning (they have a website) do front & rear spoilers for the 75. Rimmers may be able to supply genuine MGR side skirts.

I think this is about the best around.. As Willshot says, JDL Tuning;

It's the kit I'll be fitting to mine later in the year..

It's obviously a matter of personal opinion and preferences, but I think the wheels on that car are ghastly! I don't like the side skirts either, the front is ok, the exhuast sticking out completely spoils the rear,

Overall, The car in the pic gets 3 out of 10 for me.

I think the Rover 75 looks very classy as is, and messing with it detracts from it's original intended look, that is to have the retro look of bygone days when cars were gentlemens carriages. The car was never intended to appeal to boy racers, or the bling brigade.

As you probably realise I am a purist, and a BIG fan of the Rover 75..

Also look on XPart Shop site for Original OEM parts.

Which set of wheels is it you dislike..? There are two different cars in the pictures there - The first two are from JDL Tuning illustrating the front and rear lips, and the third picture is Pete Essling's V8 if I recall - Hence why the exhausts stick out - It's a V8 ZT, they were built that way

Wheels are OEM for a ZT too, and one of the best sets for a ZT IMO.. Third pic is simply the best illustration around for those sideskirts..

I have to say I quite like the kits. They are very subtle.

I like the rear bumper. It's very Crysler 500C

I have to say I like both ends of the spectrum. The completely traditional 75...and that means 2.5 royal blue with serpents. And the totally pimped out bmw clones. They both have their place.
