I'd make the MGF centre your 1st port of call. Advertised on this BBS. I bought mine from Moss and they were very expensive but i didnt know any better at the time.

The lenses you talk about are not actually clear but Smoked and believe it or not are cheap enough to buy from Rover than other sources such as Moss

The part code you require is VUB 105950 and costs £35.54.

This kit has 2 Front Bumber Indicators and 2 side Wing repeaters and comes complete with orange bulbs and spare bulbs too.

Johan, looks like it's been a case of the good old cAPS lOCK stuck on!

I got mine from Trident about £30 (for everything) as I remember :)

I would recommend you go for a rover original part, I bought a set from an alternative supplier - they clips broke on instalation, the result of cheap plastic moulding - they are now held in with double-sided tape not what you expect for £44 all in!!!

I thought they were all Rover parts?
The ones I got from B&G were marked as Rover items.

<I thought they were all Rover parts?

maybe the case, but the items I bought were cheap moulded parts with low grade polymer, my originals are far superior quality. Unless Rover changed suppliers to one in the Czech reb.

Got mine from B&G for £40, they do exactly whats written on the tin......
Ian

Wow, the MGR versions come in a crappy box...
Was the tin a screwtop, or did you have to open it like a can of beans?
Will Munns

LOL Very old fashioned I'm afraid Will, you had to lever it up with a screwdriver, like a paint tin.........
Ian

The clips are notorious for snapping even on Rover OEM items.

My tip is to place a spot of Araldite at the inside curve of each plastic clip to act as a reinforcing agent, this will help prevent the clip bending to far resulting in failure of the clip itself.
