Look how "huh humm" Standard that is MT's, Snorkel, Winch, Underbody Protection etc etc etc!

Lets see a standard Sport on road tyres do that!!!



Oh you do make me laugh

he tried the street equivalent....

Granted Craig you don't need a snorkel to drive down the road or up a hill, and I think you need a closer look at those tyres, they are All Terrains! Anyway you don't count as you've a wee beasty for the Muddy stuff, as well as the FFRR
Let's face it they are not Lincoln Navigators, the FFRR works off road, so why try and make it look like one??????

And umm, I seam to remember a certain Mr Clarkson ragging a Sport on road tyres across Salisbury Plain, being pursued by a Tank, don't remember him getting hung up  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Ok just for Craig a better example of a FFRR on road tyres not on the road

FYI Miggit sir, that Sport was a total loss after filming that piece

The L494 Sport Hammond drove more recently around Gaydon was also a total loss after filming!

Surely you don't still believe TG is a factual motoring programme do you

Think of a highly blinged up RRS, and then times it by ten and add 24" Chrome Spinnery thing wheels and your getting close, remember that rather sad P38 in Orange with Black stripes that was on fleabay around Christmas......... well that would have been the Base Model, before the Bling  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Not because of damage though Craig. This has been the normal procedure for years and years, as far bask as the Ford advert where they used Orions on a rollercoaster. The thing is, regardless of all other factors the company will not permit cars used like that to be sold on the open market incase someone has a crash and sues them. Cheaper to write off the car than risk litigation.

WE seem to straying a tad here....

Just be clear I believe modifying is perfectly acceptable if thats your thang it really is personal choice.

MY POINT is simply that Land Rover designed the L322 to look a certain way a very major part of that design is the "Kicked Up" rear end which to my eye looks fabulous. It also helps a lot offroad of course.

If you add a BIG CHUNKY squared off bumper to the rear you completely lose the original design making it look very Boxy.

Completely agree Gaz. To be frank, any 'Designer' who thinks a bodykit is going to improve the looks of most cars actually, well deluded is one word which comes readily to mind. I genuinely can't think of any body kit I've ever seen which improves the look of the original car.

So as far as RR bodykits go then it makes the back end look like a regular shooting brake, destroys the departure angle abilities and lowers the value of the car to the majority of potential buyers. (based on opinions here) A worthwhile investment then.

Nowt wrong with a Porsche either. A very useable supercar which still looks good and retains its value better than a lot of others.
