What do you recommend for Bumperettes on a 90 XS SW

I thought I'd ask you experts for your recommendations on the best Bumperettes to fit to the rear of an '08 Puma 90 XS Station Wagon. I already have a Dixon-Bates adjustable tow hitch so full-width solutions like the NAS bumper step etc are out.

I want a solution which provides protection, can be fitted by a mechanical idiot (i.e. no new holes), still allows use of the jacking hole in the cross-member and looks neat and tidy. A current contender is the old Land Rover parts RRC2970/RRC2971 units as fitted to the military LR which I've already been told by one of you do fit the Puma.

Thanks for any suggestions. Trevor Wright

I got some from Scorpion Racing for my 110, very well built and came with all bolts etc. Took about 10 mins per side to do.

Yes, much cheaper! The materials I used were recycled from scrap and other odds and ends.

Cheers,

I have found their products and service excellent in the past. The website indicates they are under new ownership though. Andy

The ones on the rebel site seem to be for a 90 as the corner protector is much shorter. Andy

There was a thread on another forum - apparently no one can reach them and they arent advertising.

If buying and they are still there - i would go and buy/collect. Mike

Don`t buy from Scorpion as they have gone

I bought the Equipe rear corner protectors from Lrs and very pleased with them extremely well made and great looking

The ones for a 110 are that price

but mine i swapped over from my 90 and i think they look better than the proper 110 ones

Derick from Lrs took some photos of them when we were up at the Donnington indoor show as he liked how well they fitted the 110

The price for the 90 version was closer to £150
