2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White

Australian Bling

I know I cannot compete with my fellow countrymen back in the UK in terms of the true bling effect,
such as HST body kit, 24 inch stormers, neons, burberry trim, black and red bits n pieces

So in anticipation of its off road adventure to Cape York (something akin to the Southend strip on
a saturday night in terms of cruising and posing ) i give you my slightly accessorised Sport
Not to everyones taste.. but hey it serves a purpose

Only just added today to my original 3 and a bit year old Sport:

Tyres General Grabber AT's all round
Engine and Transmission Bash Plates
Opposite Lock Front Bull Bar (Airbag compliant)
Light Force Driving Lights
Warn Winch
Land Rover RAI (sealed as Snorkel)
Passenger and Cargo area LR rubber carpeting

Further Additions yet to be fitted GOE Rock Sliders, Step out bars, Compressor bash plate
2nd battery Isolator and Anderson plug for camper trailer battery charging..

I like it!

IMO needs bigger off road wheels to give it a monster truck look for me, doesn't add to been anymore fuctional though.

rubber mould filling the gap between the Front Bar and the front of the wing, 30 MM mouldable
strip that fits perfectly and gives it a more cleaner line

Marty,

$2200 for the bar ($440 of that was labour) plus another $560 for spraying it in Fuji White
$950 for the winch (fitted)
$630 for the lightforce driving lights fitted including wiring harnesses
$1790 for LR Snorkel fitted

As it is primarily a Discovery 4 bar they told me they had to do some modifications to the mounts, so hence not a
straight fit

Cheers

Update on the Sport

Final touches added from the local 4x4 specialists, a major service tomorrow then off to Cape York for our adventures.

Added GOE rock sliders, step out bars and compressor bash plate. Electrical added was Anderson Plug (with isolator),
LED module to enable towing and recognition of LED based trailer lights systems.

I like that the Sliders and Step outs are not in your face and follow contour of the door seals quite well
Nice one Gordon

finished article

After someone politely left an 8 inch scratch on the rear quarter i decided to get it repaired and have the lower side
of the Front Bar sprayed black, looks far better than before.. not your UK mods/Bling, something appropriate for the
Australian off road
