Is it possible to get the over riders as a seperate item, and if so, are they available in Australia and are they hard to fit.

Yes you can get them and they are not hard to fit.

They have a lug and a bolt on the back of the over rider that clamps it in place at the back of the bumper bar. The little horizontal fence paling thingo needs a hole drilled in both the over rider and the bumper bar and once aligned properly bolts into place on both the over rider and the bumper bar.

Not hard to fit at all.

Now thats a good question I thought the bumpers were the same, suppose they could be modified when fitting.

I believe they will fit Rover ones, beware that some aftermarket bumpers are a different profile so they won't fit these properly.

Send me you email by PM and i will send you a pdf file that has exploded diagrams of the entire body including the overriders and the associated part numbers. Its about 2 meg.

Will also send you some photos of the other thing we were talking about that happened here.

The stock over riders fit the Rover bumpers just fine.
Gotta drill the stainless steel of course, but it's not to hard if you center punch a nice and firm and step up through a few sizes to the final diameter.

I've got a pair of bumpers to use as templates if you need to Davo.
