Is the rear bumper an autofashion one?

Yup.

they shouldn't have filled those vents.

They're supposed to be filled, thats how the OE Rover version comes from the factory (see the photos below of an original non-replica unpainted one). Everyone generally seems to choose to cuts the vents out, I don't like that look myself, so I chose to leave it OE

Are you going to get the front fogs?

Already got them waiting to go on when I get a chance to get down to the car.

Ah I see

What's the quality like? This car is going to look very very good!

What's the quality like?

No idea, I've still not seen it in the flesh. But I didn't have the bodyshop on the phone to me complaining about it when they fitted/painted it, so I assume its half decent at the very least! I'll get some more up-close snaps of it when I see it next.

Looking good, I prefer the bumper look to be OE too. Will look excellent when the rubbing strips and trim is back on.

The ZS180 alloys that were on it before will be going back on it in due course. Those wheels were purely on the car while it was in the bodyshop.

Thanks to the efforts of the crew last weekend the following progress has been made.

All the door and bumper trims and wing mirrors have been refitted.







And the steering rack and rotting subframe have been swapped out


The list of things left to do is still long though. For example, I still need to refit the ZS alloys, the rear bumper trim, waistrail trims, grille and of course, clean it, plus much more!

That is going to be mind blowingly gorgeous!!

i much prefer the black bumper/trim inserts than the chrome.

Me too. Have the side trims just been painted? Or did you find ones to colour code? Ditto the black inserts? Are they the originals painted of a substitute?
