Hi All,

Can anyone tell Me if the rear bumper on a Rover 45 is the same on the saloon model as it is on the hatchbacks or is it different? My missus reversed our 45 saloon into a bollard the other night and the bumper is a right mess so would like to source a secondhand one as the damage is causing the car to look like a shed!!

Cheers

Hello

The saloon and hatchback rear bumpers on a Rover 45 are different in size. The Saloon is a few inches longer due to the tailgate shape. So when coming to a replacement part you need to look for another saloon rear bumper.

Hope the car gets all sorted soon.

Scott.

Cheers Scott,

Managed to find a rear bumper, mint, in the same colour for £25!

I also picked up a pair of sideskirts for a ZS 180 & a ZS frontgrille.....you can see which way this is going!!!
