2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

VERY smart that is, good job

Personally speaking I would go with 22" alloys as the 20" look way too small especially on an all-black vehicle. I switched mine to 22" and it looks much better with a slightly firmer but still great ride.

Also switch the smoked rear light cluster back to the regular one as IMO it doesn't suit an RRS at all.

And (not sure if it's easily done) remove the amber from the front light cluster! I switched mine to fantastic Revere LED ones which may be overkill but bear in mind I did it seven years ago:

I love those. Very similar to what I put on my ST. But, isn`t there an issue with after market alloys not being up to the job? Steve.

Looks great with the piano black trim. I think the rear lights looked better before and the black side steps.....kinda hides them. I`d leave silver personally so you can see `em Great progress though Steve.

I would be interested in hearing if anyone has done this modification to the standard lights. If so did you document the process ?

Looking good

22 alloys are not a recognised standard fit on the L320 - anything less than a 35 tyre wall will cause premature wear to suspension components which already are on our motors. I had replica stormer alloys once - all eventually cracked. I'm not a wheel or tyre expert but do you know the load capability of your new wheels ?

Good luck 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

I'm sure I have seen and read about people doing this and switching to bulbs that are clear in appearance but flash amber? Not looked into it for a long time.

I do know they aren't a standard fit on the L320 but honestly I've had 22" alloys on mine for nigh on 7 years and not been any issues with the suspension components, driven over 25K in that time.

Although one has cracked I'm pretty sure that was because of a disagreement between me and a pothole...

106. Which I believe is the minimum for our cars.

106 it the Tyre, the Wheel Rim will be rated in Kg's which I think is 875 Kg. for the sport, but not to sure on that one.
