[Adam]

Looking good mate.

I like everything except the ZR mirrors, always thought they looked a bit too fat on the bubble shape.

[Gerald-17]

well, i like them because they are more rond then the standard mirror's,

[GmL_BrM]

i'd like 2 see wot those lights look like - been thinking bout those myself bit of a compromise between horrid lexus lights and standard!!
Love the clear side indicators - was it a diy job or bought?

You can get clear side indicators from ebay for a few quid! think i paid £2.50 for mine plus postage. Only takes 5 mins to fitt aswell, just a case of, putt the old ones out, unplug them, plug the new one in and push/clip it in place.

[rwkshaw]

Don't know whether you already know this, but your steering wheel is on the wrong side mate...

[tommyk]

:D

[Gerald-17]

that was an option in this country :grin:

[Dom]

quite interested to see what the rear lights turn out like :D

[Gerald-17]

isn't that a nice gift after my wintersport vacation?
my neughbour handed it over to me this morning: :clap:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/DSC00561.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/DSC00560.jpg


and now i only have to pick up the car back from the garage ( went to it fot MOT and service )

[Gerald-17]

by the way, other neigbours have told me that thay also have a package for me, i think that would be my other ZR Mirror (H)

[Gerald-17]

okay here then some pic's:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/DSC00567.jpg

and the led-rear light's:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/DSC00569.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/DSC00564.jpg

i think they look cool ( my parent's and neighbours also do :grin: )

[Adam]

Looks very nice mate.

They give it a very OE look rather than looking too after-market.

[welshone]

How wide are those wheels, they look so narrow

[chown55]

Hi Gerald-17,

The spoiler - is there small square block where the light fits? I bought a mk3 ZR spoiler (already sprayed and fitted) but couldn't fit the standard light from the original spoiler. If so, what brake-light did you get for the new spoiler?

[Gerald-17]

-sorry for the late response-
the wheels are rover coupé rim's with 195-65-15 wintertires on them, and yes they look like tracktor-tires, but for the winter they aren't that bad :P

and the brake light from the zr spoiler have i found with help of the british ebay, just search for zr brake light or something like that, there are enoough of them:smile1:

[Gerald-17]

bought the new mod, only that mod needs some bright modding ( xenon rings and lightning ) :shifty:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/angeleyes1.jpg

[Adam]

They're nice mate (But the black ones are better :p )

[welshone]

Good choice mate they give the car the illusion that it is wider and in my opinion beefier :D But Adams black one's do suit his more sportier look.

[The Youngsta]

It depends on the styling the car has been done.

Adams car would look rather stupid with silver angel eyes on ... but i think it will suit this one, as it's been done in a shinier way (the whole car)

[Gerald-17]

yes, i have also othe red-clear rear led's, if i'd took the dark ones i think the contrast would get a bit to big..

[Gerald-17]

well now i've got some news that isn't very plesant, i've got the rover diseas, my HGF. :cry:
luckely was it at my work, and about 2 seconds before i was shutting the engine down, it was getting a bit cloudy by my engine, and after opening the hood, i allready thought well, this is the HG...
well at the end still hoping for a leak of a hose, but whan the assistance came he looked at it and well, there was the bad news..
no i'm driving a glof V for the need,
i only don't get it, that they haven't got a paper bag as an option to put it over your head...:weep:

[Adam]

Gutting mate, hope you get her sorted soon!

If you need any parts or anything let me know :D

[Gerald-17]

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v722/Gerald-17/Rover%20BRM/?action=view&current=Fotos-0111.jpg

Good man with the 52mm TB. So what have you bought from Moto-bodge then?

[Gerald-17]

[Gerald-17]

well that's a new clear grille, but that one isn't in very smooth shape, but it all needs painting, and that ain't cheap :wacko:

New lights look very nice Gerald!

[welshone]

(Whisper to Adam)

Think he was showing of his Dewiper as the lights have been on for some time now.

Don't worry i dont think he noticed :icecream:

[BRMark]

This thread reminds me that the BRM looks so good clean and polished!

Once this unagreeable weather ends, I'm going on the offensive with a trolley full of cleaning products.

[rovamota]

I find that the rear wiper is essential. Why remove it?

Kev.

[Arron]

[Gerald-17]

well, I've got one of a scrapped car, but I think if you messure the hole, you can fint one at a market for construction parts ( don't know the english word for it... :oops: )

[Fast Alan]

just wondering were did u get the grommet from to replace the wiper because i need 1

probably similar to the type of grommets used by electricians to plug the hole in socket boxes (maybe)

[Arron]

ye it is i think ive tryed every were even b&q but none only place is ebay 1 for £10 which is quite dear

[Gerald-17]

mine ain't a rubber socket, but a plate of metal with a bolt on it ( on top of the window, black painted) and another plate ( underneath the window) with a screw to tighten it:

( made a little drawing )
