Coupe bumper with the factory spots? There was a Rover spotlight kit similar to the Coupe set up for 'normal' 200/400s, I've seen them when I have been browsing Ebay in the past
Would look tough with one of the Rover 200 Motorsport front bumpers , but I'm not sure if they fit with the later style grille? and seriously doubt you'd find a white one, only ever seem to be on BRG or red cars for some reason

fog lights always get good bids on ebay as they get smashed easy and also rust up and dont work. i've sold some for more in the past.
Rover did plastic bezel adaptors to fit your original bumper. Check cars for sale as some have them,
