As discussed in a previous thread I am considering buying a 2010MY RRS for £40k and putting on an A/B kit.

I am doing this as I love the look of the A/B but cant afford one! Although I am doing this to please myself and not trying to pass my car off as a genuine A/B would the car be worth anymore on resale?
Basically I am trying to gauge if the £4k is burning cash It is after all a genuine LR kit not an aftermarket like Kahn etc.

I am surprised I have not seen an HSE for resale with an A/B kit on already but perhaps being pretty new (and expensive) someone hasnt spent the £4k to resell it just yet.

Any other forum members done this yet?

Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion the AB looks soooooooooo much better (that's why I bought one ), but half the charm is the awesome interior.

I think realistically if you spend 4K on the kit, it will add 1K when you re-sell, but don't do it to add re-sale value, do it to make it what you want while you have it

I think if you want to start somewhere the AB front grille is a big improvement on its own and I would imagine only a few hundred quid.

This is the nearest one ive come accross, well within your budget but its old and high mileage

I'm puzzled at why you'd do that to such an old/high mileage motor?

Fair enough put it on a 2010 car... but a 2005 100k TDV6? wow... big gamble

I love the AB bodykit idea as per OP's 1st comment BTW RRS gone

JF - i dont doubt your valuation of perhaps £1k more but right now I would pay an additional £3k premium if I could locate an HSE with an A/B kit

From experience if you dont receive a premium on mods (tasteful ones i might add) it always makes it much easier to sell against the standard models. I too understand that some people might like the standard cars before someone hoses me

We sold this one for £53,000 which was 3 months old and 5,000 miles. The kit was a factory option as opposed to the dealer fit item. The pictures may be of interest to you?
