I'm a noob, an IT geek. I am not a mechanic. The Disco is my first foray into mechanical things, but its fun and I learned a lot. With the bumper it wasn't that hard. I did have to call Chris Fristch and have him walk me through it first. I tried 2 coatings. First one was durabak which did not perform as well as I hoped. So I ended up removing it and putting on spray-can herculiner. I also used this for my roof. Good luck!

Raptor liner works great and goes on easy, i usually top coat with satin clear 3 coats as it cures, makes it very durable and easy to clean

 

Dark crow makes some pretty nice stuff, plus, tgey're within drining distance of OP, to avoid shipping.

 

We all accept typos, especially when people are typing on their phones. But was "drining" supposed to be driving distance, or drinking distance?

 

Definitely missing the K.

 

 

One would be considered an acceptable option while in a vehicle, the other on foot. After last year...l'm going with option B.

 

Ok, so the bumper saga continues. I just received a text from the towing company stating that they sourced a new front bumper w/o fog lights. The problem? Apparently the bumper has blemishes (noticed prior to shipping) and it's the only one they have in stock until late April. Here are photos of the bumper in question:



The company that has this OEM bumper in stock has offered the towing company a 10% discount and stated that if the bumper is painted it won't be noticed. I have other work that can be done on the Rover in the interim if I wait for an unblemished one to be shipped toward the end of April. I'm sure the towing company will do whatever I want.. either have it painted or wait for one that is pristine. To me, the 'blemishes' look more like debris or dust. I was told that they are not deep scratches or grooves, but rather rubbing that occurred during the incoming shipment.

Thoughts? Does anyone have a painted black bumper? Plasti-dip or back to black? Am I settling? hahaha... I'm sure I'm going to be given some grief by all the nay-sayers of plastic bumpers Maybe I should have gone for steel.

 

If your avatar is you Disco it looks like you have a prefacelift, if you can use it i Have a nice front bumper off my 2004, no fogs, I would ship.

It is in nice shape.

 

I would just wait another month
