Hope someone can help me here, I’m on the lookout for the brackets for the front fog lamps on an MGF. I’m also after the two bumper surrounds, although I’m currently considering using the Trophy spoiler instead but I think I’d prefer just the surrounds if I could get hold of a pair at a reasonable price.
Now if anyone just happened to have a full kit of all the parts available then I’d be very happy at the right price.
Yes I’m fully aware of MGFnTFBITZ and have contacted them but I’m awaiting a reply, in the meantime I thought I’d try around as well :)

EDIT** If anyone has a pair of brackets that they'd be prepared to loan me so that I could use as a template to make a set up then that would be great :woowoo:

Rare as hen's teeth, mate. Good luck, though.

Yeah I know David, but I've now just edited the post if anyone can help.
I'm surprised that no-one hasn't already made up metal brackets to do the same job and sold them!

If you can find the mounts and/or the surrounding bezels, you should get them 3D scanned and then they could be printed out on a 3D printer as required.
You could sell the scanned data to whoever needs them and they can get them printed off.
You wouldn't need to shift many to cover the cost of the scans.

Good idea that Cobber.
Someone has already potentially offered me the surrounds, but that is in no way definite, so I'm still looking until I have some in my hand and money is paid :)
As for the brackets, well in the case of 3D printing then the turn around time on someone lending them to me would be very short indeed and I'd be willing to pay any expenses of the person lending them, ie; postage ect
I appreciate that there is a trust issue has no one really knows me here, but I am trust worthy, honest :)

Do the rover 25 ones fit? I know the lamps fit but unsure about the surrounds.

I was looking at those but I think they are a little too high and would overlap the recess between the indicator and the fog lamp, but I'm not 100% sure though.

OK, well I'm still in the market for both the brackets and the bumper surrounds.
Someone has said they can loan me a pair of brackets so that I can obtain all the measurements I need to be able to produce a pair myself, but that won't be for at least a couple of weeks, and TBH I'd rather buy a ready-made pair anyway.
Someone else has said that they have a pair of the surrounds for the front bumper, but alas I've not heard any more since ( I do hope that one comes off though), so in the meantime I'm still looking.
I appreciate all and any help in finding these parts, thank you

PS- If anyone has, or knows of anyone who has, a wiring loom then I'd be very interested (MK1 or MK2 as I can convert). If a proper one doesn't materialise then I'll be buying the Suzuki Jimny loom and converting that, although a proper one would be better. Lamps are easy to find, but if they happened to be attached to brackets then I'd pay for the lot as-is :D

PPS- Martin Smith and MGFnTFBITZ don't have anything to offer in the fog lamp department :cry:

Thanks for reading

UPDATE:

Well the search continues, but I am getting there.

I now currently have;
Both fog lamps (correct plug type).
A switch (with plug) and relay.
I'm able to order a Suzuki wiring loom that would need very minimal modding to connect to the switch.
I have a passenger side lamp bracket (which I could use as a reverse template for the drivers side one).

What I still need:
A drivers side lamp bracket, but may have to make one of these.
Both bumper lamp surrounds (thought I'd secured these but nothing has materialised! Shame)

So hopefully will be starting this project off on the F during the autumn months B)

If you'd like to buy me an M99 Trophy spoiler with fog light apertures, you can have my fog light surrounds :whistle:

Seriously though, that could be an option (buying yourself a spoiler not me that is), albeit an expensive one, especially if you were thinking of fitting a spoiler at some stage

Robin ;)

It is slowly, but it's getting there.
