Body Panel Materials

Hi all.

Does anybody know what the various body panels are made of. Are they similar to the P38 e.g. mixture of steel and aluminium. If so, what panel is made of what.

Thanks.

Parts that rust are steel, parts that corrode and turn to dust are aluminium

Rear wheel arch lips seem to be the biggest issue,

Not protected when new, but you can put protectors on like the sport. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

What !! are you saying I don't fit proper parts ? !!

When I asked at the dealer in Chesterfield, they couldn't come up with anything, so went with the strip from another model, and cut to length.

Post a pic up of the correct strip, if you don't mind..........wonder if it will cover all of the lip.....or just the inner bit....

One of the cheapest accessories for the Rangie !!
