Thanks Peachy

Cheers Addy, you're right I didn't expect the kit to be perfect and was well aware there might be issues. I wouldn't have done the conversion if I didn't have a good garage and would never do it in the UK as the cost would be phenomenal...

Oh and a quick trip through time how the Sport has evolved....

Hi Guy
It looks great what is the difference in cost of the pattern parts compared to the LR genuine?

Heres the other picture you should be posting

Guy - Looks Great

Nick - So true

JBS,

I'm not sure of the cost of all original parts as I never priced it. However I will say I paid USD1450, or GBP 870 for the following:

1. Front bumper, including fog light bezels, number plate holder and tow eye cover.
2. Rear bumper including the 3 panel tow bar cover
3. Rear spoiler
4 2x front wings including AB grilles
5 Front grille
6 2xheadlights
7 2xfog lights

Please note this price is excluding any VAT and any shipping costs.

As a reference I have seen non AFS headlights retailing at GBP800 each.... A genuine rear bumper complete I've seen for GBP 495.

Hopefully this doesn't break any site commercial rules...

Cheers

Nick - but not as bad as you think because of where I live I don't pay 20% VAT, and I certainly don't pay the labour rates that UK workshops charge (even independents). All goods shipped from the UK where also ex VAT.

I estimated all in a final cost of around GBP 2,250. If permitted I will post a complete breakdown of the costs in a few days once I know what it is.... still waiting for the bill from the garage

That's a cracking price Guy, no wonder you chuffed and not stressing about the few little niggles

Agreed that is a cracking prices

I should have maybe taken a few more notes out of my wallet before taking the picture of it

Its the bill from the garage that will be the shocker...

Hi Guy,

Looks great, please post more photos.

Also are you not going to add the Autobiography tail pipes?

Concerning the headlights and the indicator issue you are experiencing, you will not be able to change the bulbs as these are fixed LEDs. It is more likely that you will need to wire in a resistor to slow down the flash rate.

Strike,

I'll definitely post more pics over the weekend with a decent camera.

For the moment I quite like the round peg in square hole look but I've got the autobiography end pieces if I want to fit those in the future.

Thanks for the tips regards the indicators I've got the fault codes which I think confirm your statement regards the indicators being leds. I'll pull a headlight over the weekend and have a look.

Should be an easy fix of, if it is, wiring a 22ohm resistor across the ground and positive cables for the indicators, which is the solution for the L322 when you upgrade to the newer headlights as well.

With the headlights I'm getting a fault code (U1A38) for communication malfunction with left actuator, and the same for the rig ht actuator... I'll need to research that a little more.

Once I get this little lot sorted and possibly the static turning lights it's onto the again interior again...

Cheers
