Looking for a bit of a more aggressive look to my RRS.
I think its the front end that needs some changes. Maybe the grill or front bumper.

Any ideas?

I would say normally when people want a more aggressive front end they 'black out' but clearly yours couldn't be any more black so I think your into changing bumpers etc.

There are several aftermarket options which offer differing degrees of aggressiveness, have a look at eBay and just search Range Rover Sport bumpers and see what takes your fancy.

Si 2012 RRS HSE SDV6 - current
2006 911 Carrera convertible
2016 L200 Barbarian pickup
2010 RRS Lux
2008 E93 M3
2004 VX220 Turbo Stg 2
2010 E70 X5 30d M Sport
2006 Golf R32

It's pretty menacing already!

Maybe remove the OAP mudflaps? I mean, they're very sensible etc, but do they scream aggression? Ditto the side steps (granny steps), but I am not so sure about that without comparing an all black with / without.

Second, I would fit the LEDFOG101 Osram daytime running lamps. They have a modern edge to them when lit, which helps maintain contemporary look for the vehicle. "I'm all black... but at least I am lit... and I am coming to get yer"

Third, a forward facing 30 mm chain gun would stand the hair up on other road users' necks Roof mounted. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

If you want the full drug dealer effect - presumably that's what you're going for with the all black look - then you need the full illegal tints to the windows.

Please, sell the RRS and buy an X5.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Are you anti black RRSTDV8

You either like it or hate it, no middle ground eh

The drug dealer look?. I'm wondering what a drug dealer drives. I've watched top boy, but my car wasn't in there

I am one for the all black look,it does really set the sport off,if it wasn't for the soft paint on the Santarino black I would have kept my black SC,but every time I washed it a new scratch/mark appeared. Andy.

My RRS is also black on black on black .. please don't try and buy weed off me if you see me in N'ton

A little harsh we are all different and using a sweeping stereotype probably doesn’t present to the most welcoming image to people?!?

Some sensible suggestions have been made already but as I said earlier, over and above that I think your into actually altering the styling for a more aggressive bumper.

Kahn (careful you don’t upset people on here!) do an RS lit which includes wider arches to integrate into a more aggressive front bumper with drl’s in the vents at the side. Very marmite but in black you could achieve the look your after? You have to go with the full kit though as bumper alone will protrude our past stock wings.

Do some Google image searching and see if you can see anything that gets near the look you want.

I quite like that, too (not the price, though!). I'll be drummed off the forum soon for my appalling taste, I'm sure

Anyway.. hopefully we haven't scared the OP off with all this talk. Mostly because I want to ask which wheels those are...  2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S

Here is my old SC,,I was going to get the roof wrapped black but got rid before I did.To be honest I wish I still had it

Chap in our village recently had an L494 RRS in black with a brushed effect aluminium roof and looked amazing! He has now changed it for a ‘19 plate in white with black roof.

You could fit an SVR style front bumper, that may achieve the look your after -

Thanks Si! Funny that, they even came from the same place that the almost identical (but smaller) wheels on my 650 came from  2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S
