The new 2012 autobiography have a silver boot strip running across just above the number plate, anyone know if these can be fitted to the pre 2009 sport models ?? I guess only dealer would have the above part... ?? Thought I'd ask...

Not just A/B's it's all post MY12 cars. I guess anything is possible, but 'why would you want to?' would be my question  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

2012 cars do not have a split rear tailgate...

Only option would be to spray a "strip"  RRS gone

Ah, yes, very valid point awd
Strip is probably there to cover up the gap when they glued the top/bottom of the old boots together ......you can imaging the designers......"I know, we'll stick a nice silver strip over that"  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I actually prefer the Atlas Grey, and I think it would suit my black better than the silver,.................but, oh the shame

good responses back..

Youre spot on, its actually a different tail-gate altogther.. <sigh>, too much work for a silver strip.. although I do like the look of it and with the Range Rover badging just above it oppose to the rear plinth just below the number plate area.
