Hi has anyone fitted a update grille from powerfuluk I'm fancying one but not sure if they are a good snug fit where they sit in front of headlamp, do they sit tight as the original grille has 3 fixing screws but the aftermarket ones only fix via the centre screw an my concern is that the two ends would seem to gape abit from headlamp if you know what I mean?
Any thoughts or close up pics of them fitted would be great thanks Range rover hse

they look porky..there has been discussion about these grills on here [do a search] and consensus was that these don't suit the pre-facelift ranges..

To me they look carp.

And they fit in front of the headlights, they stick out. Which no original design does.
So anyone that knows Range Rovers will see it as a piece of cheap tat stuck on.

As somebody with a pre facelift car, I found out that non Rangerover people are not really aware of the differences and therefore ages of the various models. The basic shape is the same and most peoples knowledge goes no further. The people who really know the difference are FF owners and they will immediately spot the difference.

I guess it depends why anyone would want to fit a facelift grill. If they really like the look - full stop- go ahead and do it. If it's an atempt to make the car appear newer, it's a big fail I'm afraid.

Personally, I think they just look like a poor fit panel and look awful. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

Even if the the thing fits the wipers will not. This means you need to cut the headlight wipers in half - so you'll get a tiny strip of clean headlight and an acre of bug splattered headlight.

Sell it and buy an 05+ if you want the look, or do the full front end conversion (I would reccomend against it - from experience) 

Thanks for all the replies guys I think I will just stay with the original grille and maybe do a conversion during the winter months while I have a bit of time on my hands plus gives me time to get on eBay for some bargains hopefully  Range rover hse

If you keep a pre facelift model completely original with the 18" wheels, Bar Grille & two blade side vent I think they look great - even classic. Start messing about and they look awful.....(IMHO)

why wait, there's this on ebay only a grand..

at last

And rear mudflaps only for Classic lines......

well i have the grille on mine but not to make it look newer just because for me i prefer it to the origional one as its a bit square....i will say they are not the best fit and would only get one if it comes up cheap (£50) as they are not worth the money they want for them


its not to everyones taste and as said before if your trying to make it look like the facelift then its not worth it "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"
