Ok, this was a standard MKIII Rover 216 bubble 3 door when I bought it 3 months ago, and is currently a work in progress.

Here it is sitting on the fourcourt with HGF (something all you other rover owners will no doubt be familiar with) just before I bought it.

And a back view.

So far its had a few things done, mostly subtle stuff - I'm not looking for a chavmobile image here!

Subtle stuff includes:

psxiiuk's 1998 Rover 216
'Show' plates (yeah, right) and MG flag sticker where '200' logo used to go. Chrome trim to cover that dirty exhaust pipe too.

Filed off the black engine paint over the words 'twin cam 16 valve' - cost nothing and looks a whole lot better I reckon.

Pioneer head unit with MP3 CD, good for 4x50 watts RMS.

250 watt bass tube, currently without its own amp so sounds a bit crappy, but should be solved within the next couple of weeks after I get my next paycheck!

psxiiuk's 1998 Rover 216
Nice front 3/4, best view of the car I think personally. Can see the de-oranged indicator lenses, took time pulling the headlamps to bits to do it but pleased with results.

Maybe a bit less subtle now, but meshed both top and bottom front grille, show plate on front with lil Rover logo.

Side profile view of the car, can see the 16" BRM alloys which are my favourite mod to the car so far. Got em off ebay with brand new tyres for �220, and they're in perfect condition too. Bargain!

psxiiuk's 1998 Rover 216
Close up view of a front alloy, can see the clear side repeaters and MG flag badges on the wing in this pic too.

By no means finished either, when funds allow I'll be looking for:

MG ZR rear spoiler
ABC rear lights
Leather interior from a 25/ZR/200vi, maybe even a BRM if very lucky
Indiglo dials
ZR rear bumper
ZR gearknob
Leather centre armrest
Chrome back numberplate bar
Plus maybe some light performance mods, see what insurance comapny has to say on that first tho.

Might look like I'm fitting a lot of ZR parts, but I'm not after another identical ZR clone - I'm keeping the rover front and badges everywhere. Not ashamed of its Rover heritidge!
