Body Kit Development

Hi Guys

We have been working with a company who have been developing a RRSport body kit. I have some renderings of what the kit will be like once finished and wanted some feed back from RRSport drivers. Take a look and give me your comments, good or bad. The prices have not been confirmed yet, but the grills and bespoke stanless steel sports exhaust will be available separately.

Ireland 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Java Black

I think the front grille & side vents, colour coded on a Java Sport, might be ok, if someone wants that all black stealth look.

I think the front spoiler / bumper is too square & boxy.

The larger wheel arches I can’t decide on, as my eye is constantly drawn to the bumper.

To be perfectly honest (& blunt too I guess Embarassed ) I wouldn’t be too gone on it. But I must qualify that by saying I’m not a fan of body kits in general. Grilles & trims yes, but body kits no.

Sorry Embarassed ’08 RRS SE TDV6 – Java - Alpacca - Zebrano –
Colour Coded HST Grille & SC Side Vents – Smoked Side Indicators – Black LR Badges – RRSport.co.uk Sticker - Tasmod Sills - Stormers

Scotland 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Change for change's sake?
- Side air intake looks inferior IMHO.

Attention drawn to the front bumper and grill. Both are odd, again IMHO.

My advice, for whatever that is worth,

Front bumper
- Do something like Arden's, Sharpen it up somehow.
The Arden mesh is cool.

Side air vents.
- Standard is the best I've seen but colour coded.

Grill
- Something like HST but more badass. I'd like that.

Thumbs Up Thanks for asking.
Remember though, we're a bunch of HST hating mud pluggers (except i'm starting to like HST except for the exhaust). Range Rover Sport SC - Java / Tasmods / Skirts

Actually... and this will shock Wink I don't think it's that bad personally. I'm not a massive fan of most kits on the RRS. I like the Arden kit and the OF Supersport kit looks good but as you all know I hate the HST with a vengeance, although it does look better in Rimini.

I think this kit is reasonably well balanced and I even don't mind the alloys. There. I've said it! Embarassed

Like the wheels and think I like the flaired wheel arches...Not a big fan of the front bumper...looks like something that TATA would come up with Whistle Embarassed

Is there a pic from back and straight on front shot? _______________________________
