Hopefully this is relevent and not a hijack, but I have recently bought from Dan@Duckworth the 19" wheels and tyres Tim in Scotland shows in his pics and want to 'upgrade' the front and side grilles of my '06 to 'match'. What would be correct for the original OE look? |

Carman - cheers for the reply. I had a change of heart and now want to put a normal green badge onto the front grille to match the tailgate/wheels/steering wheel etc.

Not afaik - the badge sits on a solid backing. I drilled a whole in mine so I could pull it off but that obviously wrecks the original badge! |

Hi guys, a quick question. Can I fit 2010 front grille for 2007 model? Side vent looks clear to fit but the front one?

no it wont fit ..the 2010 grill is deeper and you'll need a 2010 bumper to fit it.. ... - .- -.

Indeed, that's a whole 2010 conversion right there - would cost you a few grand. IMHO not worth it, would rather put the £3.5k towards a proper one! Discovery 4 HSE

It will not fit straight, but you could still bother fitting the mesh grill into you 2006-2009 one with a bit of butchering, à la Disco3.5 Grill as seen on the D3 forum.
