A BIG difference as far as i can see, with the FF your starting with a beautiful car and personalizing/ making it better. IMHO with a saxo, corsa nova ect the phrase polishing a turd comes to mind. Twisted Evil

+1 for tinkering.

Canada 2008 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Java Black

Thanks for the input, all. I've only had my Range less than a year, so I can't imagine ever giving it up. Maybe after a few years, a facelift will give me a new car all over again. Very Happy

Gazellio, fantastic blue car you have there. Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

I get the feeling speaking to non rangie owners, that its actually only us who have a clue about what year/model/front end/screen/lights apply to which year.

IMHO the newer 09>look is very nice and i would probably do mine if I had the inclination but generally no one has any idea that mine is a 57 plate as it has a £250 DVLA reg on it, they assume its a £50k motor, not less that half that, so i dont think that adding the facelift would have any affect on that.

Facelifts do make them look good though.......... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Java Black

Yep, have to say the facelifts look pretty good. The whole treatment just updates the look again. A while since the new Range came out and I still think the L322 4.4 TDV8 is the pick of them all. Lloyd Barnes

Aesthetics aside, I am looking into this, but questioning the economics of it. I am looking at a £20K TDV8. By the time I have done a full 2010 conversion (with wheels), it will stand me in at least £25K, probably more. I have seen 2010 MY cars for as low as £28K…

Despite my best efforts to make the ‘man maths’ work, I am not sure it makes sense. Happy to be corrected Very Happy

If you can get a newer one for not much more than i would go for it as the interior facelift will help as well and is a nicer place as well as the years go on.

A newer car for the same money cant be beaten but depreciation could be..... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

OK, I'd buy a 2005 RR that had been "facelifted" to a 2010 for $100.

I think it's funny that "fanny" means something completely different in British English slang than it does in American English slang.

Soooo true. Most will recognize a RR, but the majority will equate a clean 02 with a 2010>. And the large majority of people who know the exterior differences will know the interior differences as well - so if you are trying to pass of an earlier RR as a later, don't ever leave the car parked anywhere - don't even stop moving or someone might get a look at the interior. Razz

That said, I prefer the later lights now too. And I am all for modding cars. I have never owned a car that has remained the way it came from the factory. I do this primarily for my own enjoyment but if others take a second look I am not going to be unhappy. I didn't choose my wife to impress others either, but it can make me crack a smug smile if I notice a head or two turning.

My 02 TD6 has a 06-09 facelift for 3 reasons:
- I got a terrific deal on a very clean RR - with slight front end damage: 1 light, grill and bumper + minnor bonnet damage.
- I much prefer the later, smaller lights
- Used 06-09 lights were available on ebay for ~€50 because of cornering light problems and used grills were available for around the same price because everyone was going to SC bits.

If the stars align similarly again (TD6 is approaching 300k kms), I may have myself an earlier L322 with 2010 lights. Because I like it. (very pretty RR, Gaz)
