    No.

    Wrong shape:




    ...... but the later RR grille will fit.

    See how I did it here: Range Rover Grille Conversion

    or if you cbf doing that, just cut the late model grille down so its the same size as the center horizontal grille. its not perfect, but should take you all of 10mins!

    I've seen it done on an early RRC, I think lots of cable ties would be the go

    can be done, you will need to buy two new "buckets" (headlamp holders) for the headlights, five holes need to be drilled in the inner wing valance where the new headlamp holder is to fit - two large ones for the beam adjustment and three to secure the holder to the car, the plastic grill has lugs which fit into hooks on the landing panel if yours doesnt have these just use self tappers. you may need to grinda little metal from the landing panal and/or inner wing valances in order to get a flush fit, dont forget to rustproof the areas you may have cut and drilled.

    have fun should kill bout a hour of your time

    Back in 1992 I bought a 72 rangie and put a 200 tdi into it

    At the same time I put the new style grill and bit on it

    When I bought it



    And after putting in the engine respray and new grill . They only problem I had was in 1992 you could only get the grill genuine from land rover



    Very easy to do as said
