Tasteless pap from Overfinch

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-car...ery-option

How to ruin the classic understated looks of the FFRR? Give it to Overfinch. Looks like a cross between a Cayenne and an ugly stick.

Yuck, just yuck.

Who buys this Censored ? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Instead of going to the lengths of having their car modified like that, why don't people just have 'I am a drug dealer' written on the side?

Why people like the likes of Overfinch & Kahn is beyond me,,but to be honest Overfinch does look better than the Censored Kahn turns out.Why spoil a already nice looking motor.

Each to their own, if we all liked the same thing then wouldn’t life be very boring? Whilst i’m no fan of aftermarket styling, preferring the very stock unmolested ‘look’.... there are those that do like the alternatives and... there are likely a few Overfinch and Khan owners on this forum who don’t peddle drugs, so lets not offend them eh? Wink

Whilst there is a market for Overfinch, Khan etc styling, they will keep being churned out. No harm in it is there? No body is forcing anyone to own one against their will?

Wow....such snobbery....that Overfinch one isn`t a world away from standard and imo doesn`t look so bad. Not everyone likes bog standard! Steve.

Its not snobbery on my part but, as you say, a matter of taste. LR products used to be function over form and no complex curves that would be difficult to repair. Almost anything would be an aesthetic improvement. When the P38 RR was replaced by the L322 RR I intially hated it.

Now LR have got their act together in the design and aesthetics stakes, any additions/changes seem OTT. I can't see there is much of a 'bang per buck' improvement (but then I don't have many bucks Confused ).

I may be jaded as a result of once seeing a Kahn version with those stupid spinner hub things. Rolling Eyes

I quite like a Revere that I see round here, but there is another with 'E X C L U S I V E' on the bonnet that does nothing for me.

With regard to this thread, who pays £5.5K for a bonnet?! Rolling with laughter

That one claims that it is still under LR's extended warranty. Does anyone believe that LR's warranty would accept any claim on that vehicle? No, me neither. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

It used to be that Overfinch were very highly regarded engine tuners and made some serious power upgrades to Range Rovers with big Chevy 6.2 lt engine’s only for the seriously rich as the fuel consumption was as standard less than 10mpg....... then they started body upgrades and interior trimming and have been bust more often than we have had hot dinners..... The present Overfinch also do some serious and desirable engine upgrades for the Defender - huge V8’S and automatic gear boxes to handle the power/torque. It is a pity that they sully the fine L405 design with ugly interior trim and body kits 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
