hi, does anyone know if any of the mini parts companys are stocking genuine bumpers at the moment. tried both minispares and minisport the other day before work and aparently there is a long wait for them. going to go through minimag ringing around, i guess that no-one will have them though. unless anyone knows any different?

can anyone suggest a reasonable replacement if i cant get hold of the genuine ones? thanks

I'd be tempted to give rover x-parts a try.

the 'stainless' bumpers i got from minispares are magically rusting away nicely, beware...

my dad had a set of over riders from them. bought them as stainless, they were boxed up as stainless, rusted in months.

going to try somerford tomorrow, maybe W+P if somerford are out of stock, not a fan of the W+P prices though!

also found these, but they dont look right as genuine bumpers. maybe its just me. have posted them a question, awaiting their response

When I got the stainless bumper from Rover, it had a hologram on the underside... I'll perhaps post up pictures of what a stainless (rover) bumper looks like.

My front bumper has also gone rusty over the winter months!

Somerford wanted something like 60 quid at Bingley for a genuine one though!

How often do you clean them? I had exactly the same items on my car for years with no probs, just need cleaning occasionally.

my dad reccons they felt like chrome when they arrived. they arrived in a box marked stainless. he cleaned them and oiled them numerous times but he said 'its hard to clean pure rust'. the stainless bumper he has had on the car for 4 years is unmarked. the over riders were on the car for well under a year.

was wondering, do minispares normally offer discount to large orders/people who buy from you on a regular basis?
