2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

�18k for a 2.7 SE with 100k miles on it? Putting new style panels on it doesn't alter the fact that it's a relatively old, relatively low spec RRS.

It looks like he's even left the SDV6 badge on the tail. Ridiculous.

At least he's had the belts done (along with ARB bushes etc.). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

So, the 2nd upgrade (1st was the side-steps) nearly 100% completed. Just need to take away the lower tailgate lettering and stick the new lettering into place.

As with after-market products, the trim was a little tricky to fit into place. The first attempt left me with a slightly skewed result, so with a little pushing and sanding down, I managed to get it to fit quite nicely.

OK, I know I don't have the upgraded rear led's nor the rear spoiler in place, but this is a work in very slow progress.

All in all a nice smart upgrade that I'm very happy with Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
DONE: Meduza front bumper, AB rear bumper, AB tailpipes, calipers repainted, rear upper tailgate upgrade, side steps, AB front grille, AB side vents, rear LED lights, clear side repeaters, integrated daytime running lights, LED headlights.
TO DO: color code sills and pillars.

I'll get on to it in the morning Peachy !

At first try it was positioned a little too far to the right, so I got out the drill bit and widened the holes so it could be pushed further to the left. This worked out fine but wasn't therefore "plug and play" exactly !

Too much money at �345 though, considering the poor initial fit and that an entire autobiography bumper costs just �50 more. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

i've found out why I was having problems with the install. Apparently the trim is for 2010+ RRS upper tailgates. Peachy, I'm wondering if there is any difference between a 2009 and 2010 upper tailgate, in particular just where the trim is placed? Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 Autobiography Bali Blue

tanloverluke think spoiler looks good you will never get 100% perfect fit with aftermarket parts i do agree that the price is very high but nothing else on market at the moment !! Have you thought about De badge HSE to Autobiography and also changing the green Landrover badge for black ones very little cost but make a massive difference.

Up date on my little project of buying original 2012 Rear tailgate from Landrover turned out to be a no go !!! part and size is designed for 2012 and my thoughts on making a retro fit bracket are also a no go so it look's like we all have to pay the high price till one of our little chines friends comes up with cheap upgrade !!

sure have thought about that. tomorrow the ab rear bumper goes on. i'll then be transferring the rr lettering from the lower tailgate to the new tailgate trim. I'll be completely removing the lr badge, i.e. not putting a black one in its place. Also the hse lettering will be coming off and an ab or ab sport badge will be put in its place.

sorry to hear about the original tailgate not fitting!

pics to follow tomorrow! Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

2010 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 Autobiography Maya Gold

Hi Peachy & Tan lover luke.

The only company that is going to produce this Powerfuluk. I guess you have a connection to them since this part was never listed on Ebay and I feel like your putting false info out there to drum up interest. Why not be honest and post the actual ebay link? Because there is no ebay link. I have ebay set to alert me when this part comes up. The only part even similar to this is the actual 2013 upper tail gate trim which will not fit any MY 2011 or older Range Rover sport becuase the the chrome trim comes down past the tail lights.

Simon at Powerful uk contacted me to say this part would be available after thanksgiving. Here is his pictures. Being dishonest and saying that this was on ebay leads all of us astray and is not appreciated. I challenge you to show us the actual link to ebay when powerful uk hasnt even listed this part yet on the market for sale to older RRS owners.
