That's weird.
The ones shown on Rimmer Bros are like this.

They should look like the orange ones above. Maybe just a generic picture of them on eBay? Do the actual ones look like that?

Oh.

the bushes do look like the picture, part nimber is correct top so a bit confused. If I manage to get the old ones out I will do a comparison and see if I can figure it out.

The part number NAM9443 appears to be the arb bush for the Metro not MGF. On Rimmer, those parts look to be the same shape as yours and also a similar price whereas the polybushes for mgf are a fair bit cheaper from Rimmer

I'd send them back and tell them that their compatible vehicle list is wrong if I were you.

The part is listed at Rimmers for the metro - http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-NAM9443

The orange bushes are coded as RGX000920POLY

The standard genuine mgr bushes are coded as RGX000920

Standard aftermarket as RGX000920P

Evening all, thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I bought the bushes from a private seller on ebay, I checked the part number on the manufacturers website (http://superpro.suspension.parts/spf1863-18k) before I bought them and, according to it, they are the correct bush. Manufacturer is super pro, part number is SPF1863-18k. I have emailed them to see what they have to say for themselves!!

Well, the company have accepted that the bushes are the wrong shape, they have asked me to send measurements of the bushes so they can replace them, the bushes on my car are shot, could anyone provide the measurements? I have attached the document they want filling in . Hopefully they can then amend the website to prevent further issues to F owners.Thanks!
