England 2004 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Java Black
Time for a change

Hello all,new full fat owner here I been thinking of upgrading my p38 for a few months and obviously there was only one way to go. I love the look of the 2010 and had read about facelifts but didn't think I could bring myself to pull a perfectly good car apart. I then came across a 54 plate touchscreen model that had been in a minor collision and needed a front bumper and two headlights. I know theres mixed opinions about facelifts but if you need to buy headlights and bumper grill etc for repair surely there is only one way to go ? Heres a pic of old ride and new. I am sure I will have loads of questions for you all, I cant stop reading already !!

Welcome !

I think I agree with you. Mine looks totally stock, but if I had to replace the front anyway, and could manage the cost of the parts, it's very tempting.

The 2010 rear lights look nice, but would be weird if the front was not upgraded. Only thing that's stopped me.

Good luck.

^ Agreed.

There's been lots of talk about the economics of facelifting the FFRR. Having to replace the parts anyway certainly changes the equation. I'm sure the newer parts are more expensive, but probably not by much. Good luck.
