Australia 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

I would code the rear RANGE ROVER tailgate strip and leave it alone if it was mine. The only other thing I would do is remove the M3 wannabe exhaust tips. otherwise she looks sweet just as she is now. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

That's getting done mate, front and rear bumpers, lower door panels, new door handles and mirror covers and that will be it, the exhaust is overfinch and sounds realy good

I think the colour coding needs doing to freshen up the car Thumbs Up

Rear bumper

Hello,

Looks good. I actually like the tips... Gives it an updated look.

I have the Rimini red.... Painted all the parts to match. Personally I wish Icould go backwards.

Question for you, in your rear bumper you have the lights beside the pdc... Are those original or did you add those?

Here's mine. Since the picturesiI've updated the rear taillightsto 2010+ led taillight, black side markers and black lettering plus some other add ons.






Let me know what you think...

Redranger, the lights were on the car when I got it, I'm not sure if there oem to be honest, your car looks great, I like the floating roof look so the pillars will be left black

Yeah I'm considering going back to floating roof, especially because of the black wheels.

Regarding the reflectors, I may do a work on my bumper and add them on to my 08. You can get the led reflectors to swap so that way
They can light up with your lights at night.

Wales 2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange

agree. leave pillars black to keep floating roof effect. I'd also leave the lower bumpers and side trim black. Defo colour code the rear tailgate lower trim and agree with gloss black lettering.

the above link don't work  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !

B3EEE - agree. I did the trim on the trunk and then replaced the all the lettering to black as well as the LR badge. I think hopefully once I go back to floating roof, it should match everything well. I also did the front grille and all the badging.







BTW The link is working now. Check them out...

PEACHY - thanks for the information, if you look at monty19's, I think its not a 2010 plus correct? Based on the side vents it's 09 or older? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Either way with the link that I have put the led reflector lights should look good if wired to the night time lights.
