The rear bumper is also correct as is mine with the heat shields (an option I took from new but with straight outlet pipes not turndowns)

    Seems a nice car
    Wasn't aware of that fact.

    I also thought the build number for the Rover V8 was 166 - this from a couple of sources.

    I have had both projectors and Xenons
    virtually no difference between the two at all
    Both are superior to the standard halogen candles.

    Just been an anorak and gone through AndyG's vin number thread which also seems to confirm the 166.
