Very well done AlanN you are a true craftsman :wink: The carpet that you used to mold around the side windows was it foam backed :?: Can you tell me where you got it from and what glue did you use mate :)

Hi all
thanks for all the positive comments, sorry I couldnt get a picture today, blasted camera batteries flat and then by the time I remembered to take one it was dark again... Not sure if I could make another, it was a labour of love!!!
Just saving up for a paint job now!!!! but the bills keep coming in :(
The carpet is foam backed and I used spray glue all from Kenbro's in Southend on Sea, i have seen glue cheaper on ebay since.
I've been looking at the back over the last week... Hmmm what can I do with that bumper, anyone got ideas

Replace it for a MK5 one, IMHO a better shape as yours is plain fronted, the MK5 has the overriders type of shape to it.
I was going to say this in your other thread with all the pictures of the steps you took to do the grill...which looks very good BTW, I might have to come around and have a look...I am very interested to see how that carpet looks close up ;)

Hi Mark
I was thinking of the rear one, as I like the little spoiler made from another bumper for the front, which I now have ready to cut, but you have now given me another idea... Hmmm, over-riders... I may cut some off a MK4/5 and mould them on, Thanks for that. :D
I can't find the picture of the red van with the spoiler off hand, maybe someone can post it up for me!
Your welcome over anytime to have a nose around, but my mate Neil is the expert on that one

Oh look, rover must have been reading my mind..
The front bumper is going to be painted to match, I like the rear on that, are there any pictures from the back Rover?
