You could fit a D1 grille if you really wanted to hit your D2 with the ugly stick...

I can't find a "vomit" emoticon so this will have to do :thumbsdown:

You may notice I edited my post about 12 seconds after posting. I don't mean exactly the same, but they will fit the same as a D1 grille will. :)

Horses for Courses, personally I think Xrox bars are hideous, hell I've even seen a D2 with chromed door handles and mirrors. I'm just saying it's an option :p

Like this one?
:spudnikhurler:

I'm not actually considering it, I have other bling that's at the top of the list.
Then again, I may just continually reference it just to annoy you :tease::bat:

It's probably relatively easy to DIY, Monkiefone on here (and the D2BC) did a home-made job on his :)

This is the one that I've always liked. Don't think that I'd go with his choice in wheels - look nice but not very practical for most of us.

But the grill and the side vents look good in this ..............

And Muppet .................. have to agree with your comment on XROX bars. ;)

RR 20" rims from memory.
Tombie has done the side vent mod, unfortunately his photos have since disappeared.
Also, you can buy blingy grille covers like that on fleabay, I'll try and dig up some of the info on the pommy forum, but from memory they're stupidly expensive, same sort of coin as a Saudi grille

Links to the D2BC, not sure if you can see them without signing up but if you can't I highly suggest you do, lots of very interesting and useful info on there specifically for D2s

Any idea about changing to the fancy head lights too?
any mods needed, or are they a straight swap?

Yep, fair few mods.
New hockey sticks, mucking around with wiring, cutting bits out.
If you want I've got a very detailed PDF I can PM you on how to do a full facelift light conversion, fronts and rears, but you really only get one chance at it as you do have to get a bit chop suey.
Goes for anyone, if you want it, I've got it ;)

I like it though, would go well with my Blenheim Silver, but even better with Zambezi...

All discussion regarding clubagreenie's saudi grille offer has been moved to the Group Buys section:

With the Range Rover Sport grill, (I like that). I'd be happy to make up a template to make the holes.
But am wondering, the holes look countersunk. Is there a easy method, than counter sinking every hole on top of drilling? How did they get that effect?
