Re: 5 bolt bumper
Nice, rare item, but personally, would I spend £100 on a bumper? Nah! I'd buy engine tuning bits & have a couple of beers with my mates out of the £26 postage cost!

Re: 5 bolt bumper
it has come to my attention that this may be an aftermarket bumper. the lip where the bumper mounts is cut away on both ends before the last stud (see photo) and on a genuine BMC bumper this lip is solid all the way? can anyone verify this for me, is this a Rover part? just trying to come up with a fair value. the bumper is high quality, i purchased this in 1988 from a mini parts supplier.
thanks...

Re: 5 bolt bumper
The woven black sticky protection on the front is the same as I had on some genuine nos rover bumpers, although that is no proof, I also have a 5 bolt bumper that is the same design.
