Did you need a SVR VIN to buy these?

If you have any issues with the local US dealerships, you can always try Britcar. They seem to be a little more lenient of these things.

Ebay in the UK regularly seems to have complete new front SVR bumpers ready painted, not sure where they are from though, probably walked out the back of the factory etc.

It's very unlikely you will find a used SVR fender and even if you did you will need to also purchase the SVR side skirts / rocker. They are one piece for the SVR not two pieces like the rest of the line.

Not the hardest mod, but a few catches. Needs SVR undertray, loom modded to extend for outer parking sensors and some fettling of the aux rad cowl.

Happy to post more info if folks want it, but all bits needed can be picked up from a main dealers, although I sourced the bumper online.

Added to the colour coded '400' series sill extensions I think it makes a worthwhile set of external cosmetic mods.
Looks great. I'm waiting until after the corsa cross country rally to do this mod. I'll let the rally destroy the oem R bumper.

You should be able to use an SVR fender w/ a 14R rocker, correct? Dont they mate at the same line?

No they do not. The SVR fender MUST be matched with the SVR rocker. While it looks similar to the 14R rocker it's not.

See different. Most importantly where the rocker meets the fender. The SVRs is creased and tappered to make room and to align the SVR fender.

Yes. I had an SVR vin. Unhindg was able to hook me up. The hardest part was finding all the right SVR part numbers.

Oh one thing I forgot. I had to purchase new door sills/kick plates, whatever they are called. In order to remove the rockers you need to remove the aluminum kick plate, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to remove it without bending the aluminum since they are 3M glued on. So I bought the illuminated jaguar logo plates as a replacement, since my car was ordered with the normal aluminum plates. So in all to do this conversion I needed to purchase: (1) SVR fenders (2) SVR rockers, and (3) door kick plates.

One thing I have yet to replace is the areo fins that are attached on the bottom of the rockers. Unsure how much of a difference it makes without them though.

Looks only. They offer no aerodynamic benefit.
