Rover 75 burgundy bonnet wanted

Grizzlyman · 18th July 2020, 16:51

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone has a burgundy red bonnet for a 75 in good condition?
I have some fairly big rust holes on mine and wanted to see if I could source a replacement before I go the body shop route...
Cheers!

Hi Jamie, welcome along. Burgundy is not very specific, have a look for the paint code, N/Side door centre pillar near the base, It'll be 3 letters like CDX

Ah yes, I had a bit of a d’oh moment, will check the paint code and pop it on here!
I’m putting it down to over excitement at getting another one of these great cars!

Ok, paint code is CDX, so copper leaf red right?

It is, when polished they shine like a shilling up a chimney sweep's bottom.

Yep, mine was pretty clean and shiny when I picked it up, love the colour, my previous R75 was midnight blue, so quite a contrast!

Now I just need a shiny rust free bonnet!
