will a rover 220 turbo bumper fit a 214 cabby? - MG-Rover.org Forums

pinhead · 07-01-2008, 14:37

just wondering if a rover 220 turbo (1992) coupe bumper will fit onto rover 214 cabriolet (1995 wedge) without any problems? any help is much appreciated, thanks.

empsburna · 07-01-2008, 15:23

yes, straight swap. (front and back)

pinhead · 07-01-2008, 15:24

Nice one, thanks for quick answer

E_T_V · 07-01-2008, 17:37

As said above they'll fit. They are the same bodyshell so most bits are interchangable

pants78 · 07-01-2008, 18:05

Yup, straight swap, and looks good too!

Have a look at the gallery, i seem to remember a few on there have done the swap.

remember Ace's cabby? one of my favourites from back in the day

ghall2004 · 07-01-2008, 18:08

yeah, defo easy job, 10, 15 min job

take a look at my pics, i did the exact same job, got front and rear bumpers from a coupe of same colour for 60 quid at local salvage yard, also got a boot spoiler and colour coded body modulings too!

result

transformed the look of the car.

pinhead · 07-01-2008, 18:16

looks like im getting a front bumper off a gsi quite cheap, just need to get it sprayed now in flip to match rest of car, least i got the paint already so shouldnt be to expensive. definitely got to get myself a laguna splitter to

Yes you did say that.

davie27 · 07-01-2008, 18:31

i recon the coupe bumpers deffently finish a cabby off nice.

Ravindervvc · 20-01-2008, 00:27

cabbys looks cracking with the coupe bumpers. I love southsides cabby turbo. Best I've seen

CabrioletPilot · 23-01-2008, 17:49

I've got the Coupe F+R bumpers on mine as well as the coupe side mouldings, also got the Gti spoiler and the short side skirts too. Had to get everything re-sprayed though as my cab is in caribbean blue which the coupe never came in which was a bit of a pain, but know a few people in the trade who sprayed them up for me in their spare time.

Also got the MG ZR/ZT 17" alloy's on it.

If they had looked like mine when they came out of the factory, I think they would have sold like hot cakes considering they were up against the Astra GTE convertable and the Escort XR3i cabriolet back in the day but the bog standard car just didn't look sporty enough IMHO, even the 1.6 with the twin exhausts didn't.

There are 2 pics of the back end of mine, a before and after shot in the gallery on here. Will have to put some more up now the front and sides are done too.

davie27 · 23-01-2008, 18:39

CabrioletPilot · 23-01-2008, 19:03

CabrioletPilot · 23-01-2008, 21:18
