I was originally looking for a facelift td6 but my hours were cut in work so I gave up the search now Im looking at some prefacelift Range rovers however Im not overly keen on the front end and really want the supercharged grill has anyone fitted one of these I rather like the look?

Its my only real option because im not keen on the square supercharged grill and I wouldnt be able to afford the proper conversion whats everyones thoughts?

someone here has, ...it didnt get a favourable response though... ... - .- -.

The only thing I'd say is that Land Rover never did a Supercharged grille for that model, pre-facelift.
So anyone in the know that sees it will know right away you've stuck a halfords special on the front of your car.
I see what they've done by overlapping the headlights. But the fact that the headlights still have wipers and the bumper has a flat top kind of give the game away.

If that doesn't bother you and you like it, then go for it.

do you know how they found the fit of it because I know some aftermarket products can be a bad fit? why was it not favourable the reason i ask is I'v never seen it in the flesh and although I think it looks nice in the photo Im unsure as to what it would look like up close

dont look right andy, it looks stuck on.. ... - .- -.

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

the proper facelift cars have a dip on the front bumper and different headlights but suffer from some models only having xenons for dipped and halogens for main as opposed to pre-facelifts which have bi-xenons.. ... - .- -.

Thats worrying mick although thats the kind of feedback I wanted to hear. When you say hideous was it a bad fit or did it just look really cheap?

Both actually , pure looking , but as Fox says if you like it , but every will be laughing at you when you drive by .........  ====================================

Im not overly keen on the pre facelift front which I dont know if I could live with as I dont really like the square lights and grill. That said I dont want some really bad looking grill either If I fitted this one I'd remove the wipers and fit blanking plates. But its kind of affecting my full decision of buying a Range or not as I only have max 12k to spend as a want to keep a bit by for any repairs which may be required so theres no way I could get a facelift model without over stretching myself

Don't bother with the tacky grill and don't worry about the front end styling -IMHO

Keep your car genuine spec and enjoy the car for what it is - they are superb vehicles regardless of styling.

Maybe within time you could justify paying for the full conversion - genuine grill, bumper, lights etc but it really isn't that important is it? - start fixing tacky trim to it and who knows what it will end up looking like

If you want a facelift that bad and cant afford it i would just stick to your budget and the extra you have for facelift front parts i would save for maintenance and repair...  2004 black Vogue TD6
