My Rover 45
I think it is about time for me to introduce you all to my Rover 45 1.6 Spirit S.

Very nice, looks awesome on the Cosmos alloys. It's funny, when I had my mk2 on Cosmos' they looked far too small but they really suit your car.
|
Great colour as well.
Good looking car. :clap::clap::clap::clap: |
Bang tidy.
|
Hi and welcome!!
|
Very nice dude :thumbsup: love the colour
|
Thanks guys, still got to fit my rear spoiler, 180 skirts and Espace splitter. Hopefully get that done when I get a spare day or two.
|
Really nice.
Not sure if I'd fit the 180 kit to be honest - I think it may drown your wheels out and then they'll need to change. |
That's a good looking car, I've always liked those Cosmos wheels, it's a shame they never made them in 17".
|
Like that, is it lowered?
|
nice car
love the color |

Nice car :) |
Really nice car. I wouldn't 180 kit it I think it looks really good as is tbh
|
Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I agree with the comments about the 180 skirts but would like the sills colour matched, so looking to swap them for skirts/sills off a 120.

Looks good in the snow!
|
Fantastic looking car :) Good effort!
I think 180 skirts would look a treat if the colour match was spot on. That said, its no bad looker as it is. Got me tempted to put a Rover grill on my 180, works really well with the colour and the front lip. |
|
A couple of front end changes. Before and after pics.
As it looked when I bought it. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...ps09928de3.jpg And now. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...psroeac8es.jpg |
looks nice !
|
Surprising how it makes it look so much more modern.
Love it. :beer::beer::beer: |
Changes to the grill again, this time a MG one with custom badge inserts from Locking Vinyl
http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...pstfohygvt.jpg Decided To change the mirror covers back to the original blue ones which I think suit the car better than chrome. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...pswodfvnxr.jpg The grill badge impressed me so much I had to get back on to Darren at Locking Vinyl for a matching rear one. If you havent dealt with him before then I would highly recomend him. A pleasure to deal with. http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/...psduipaeua.jpg So thats me up to date, apart from the head gasket has just blown. Rovers, Gotta love em |
Like it - apart from the yellow fogs that is....:sorry:
Shame about the HG .... :console: |
HG sorted and running nice again. Fitted a CVT gear surround with a few added power points and coin holder from a R25. Fresh coat of underseal applied, now just an MOT next week to look forward to.

You mentioned that this coin holder is from R25?
I do not remember this type of coin folder was ever even an option for R25. Must be transplanted from somvhere else if you found it on R25. |

Good to see the 45's getting some love too.
Been working this week on protecting the underside of the other half's 45, caught it just in time I think. |

Changed the dash trim to match the gear lever surround. Before & After pics.

Much better - chrome rings on the dials too - nice.
|
Looks awesome mate :)
|
Thanks guys
|
The wood trim on the door cards was looking a bit on the weird side after the dash update, so vinyl wraped it. Not a perfect match, but happy for now till i decide on something better.

Your 45 looks great! An MG gearknob now would finish that interior off lovely in my opinion lad
