United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Bournville
New front grill

I've just fitted my grill that I got from Dan, looking for some opinions, first one is the old one.
I think I like the new one better but I think I need the Titan Splitter and foglamp surrounds now Laughing

The colour of the grill edge is Bournville but my car is so filthy it looks like it does not match Laughing

Yep , you'll need the Titan splitter and Titan Fog surrounds now as that what i had to do when i changed my front grill too , have fun trying to get the splitter bar off Laughing the fog surrounds are easy to get off about 2 mins each side …. found this out the hard way when i took one of mine off Censored ====================================

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

Well, if you are looking for opinions, in my opinion photo 1 looks better. The chrome stands out far too much in photo 2 and I am not a chrome fan. I think the pattern of the grill on photo 1 is better than the flat look on photo 2.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Bournville

Thanks for the honest opinions Thumbs Up I agree with you all Laughing I'm not a Crome fan at all and I do prefer the contour of my original grill but I think the surround looks dull on the original. Ill leave it on for a while and see how I feel. I think if I'm honest with myself I'm just a bit bored of how it looks and want to make a couple of changes without getting anything that's not OEM or not right for the year of the vehicle. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Think I prefer picture 1, but perhaps the chrome won't look so stand outish if the sun is not directly on it, and its not all shiny and new, if you see what I mean.......

If you are bored, I'd suggest upgrading the front to the 2003 kit. May be able to help you out there........ Laughing 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

If like me Jez after a week or so with the AB grill 2nd picture I got bored with it and changed it for a different one , the AB grill takes a bit to get used to on a car that doesn't have the full AB bumper Thumbs Up ====================================

Why not take the original grille to a bodyshop and get them to spray the surround in bournville....

Best of both worlds then and should only cost a little bit. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

I also prefer the 1st pic and am also not a chrome fan on a FFRR.

But I do understand the need to change things. Si. <This is my name.

I'm in support of pic1. AB grille looks slab like and also not a chrome fan.

Looks like the old grill is slightly more popular Laughing luckily they take about two mins to swap ! I think Craig is right and it might look a bit better on a clean car (would you believe I clayed, machine polished and waxed that car two weeks ago !) and thanks for thinking of me mjdronfield that was a kind offer Laughing 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Got round to fitting the Titan Silver trim and my new Bournville side vents today - Thanks Dan Thumbs Up
I think the Titan silver bits complement the look of the AB grill a bit more. I think it will look better with my 20"s on in the spring too.
