I want to change the front bumper a little

Jasmin · 13th December 2011, 18:52

HI everyone!

I really need help and some opinions on this one:

I want to make my ordionary 75 front bumper mesh look exactly like that one up there...And that mesh under there where the fog lights are - want to have it aswell

So really I need opinions is it hard to change those - and more importantly: where can I get those?)or will I have to make me those?)

P.s.: does anyone know if I can get those wheels anywhere?

P.s.s: is this interior existing?

Also does anyone know if the walnut dash is replaceable with some other dash with a different colour (white or black...) ? Ireally want to change my interior aswell -perhaps to all white...don't know for sure yet.
My Rover is LWD!

Thank you everybody!!!

Very easy to do,just cut the fins from the grill,& get some mesh to suit.

Hi There. I see you have daylight running lights. Where did you pick up a suitable feed ? Great looking car !

Thanks Alf,slight highjack but, the lights are wired to the headlights,so when i put the headlights on,they turn off,live to fuse 4 in the engine fusebox,& of course earth.You either need drl's with built in relay to turn them off,or buy a separate relay to enable this feature,or a switch.

Hi Yasmin. Bide your time Yasmin & you should get a good few replies. Members have used a variety of methods, and I'm watching with interest, as I want to do the same.

Yes, a bit of a naughty question, (sorry Yasmin), but all understood. I'm watching this thread with interest because I want to do top & bottom grill in new year. I did consider buying all chrome grill but not sure of quality, and I think mesh is best. Regards Yasmin's dash, could get a grey dash & spray white ? Not a job I would want to tackle though

Dash panels have been painted by a few members to co-ordinate their colour scheme,so that's not a real problem.I suppose any colour you,or indeed,he wants is possible.There is a company who do a stainless mesh which looks really good.

It's alright, I don't mind Trimani

:xmas-smiley-004:Kinda nice to know aswell - a good idea to put LEDs

About the bumper...Yeah I probably would want to get it in grey with chrome mesh, because I also want to paint my Rover to black so it would make a nice contrast to the bumper grills
- so I got to ask:
cause I wanna have my bumper same as the blackone above I will have to paint that chrome grill part (with the Rover logo on it) to black colour as well as the whole car -so it would match the pic up there...(that rover is soooooooooo CRAZY - have to lower mine aswell for let's say about 2 cm and put on some 18'')
So the question - are chrome parts paintable?

You can buy the mesh in black,as to painting the plastic,no problem.
