I mount the kerb sometimes when I park.....is that considered "Off-Road"?

I know...I have been concerned it may invalidate my warranty.....sometimes I mount kerbs in excess of 3 inches high, sometimes even in the rain!

I'm aware of the risks but I'm a natural born thrill seeker!

RIGHT! I've done it! HST grille in situ..... bought from dealer and fitted for free Thumbs Up

Not 100% convinced yet but it is a 2 min job to swap back (after watching the LR mechanic demonstrate).

What do you guys think....Better or Worse?? (Before and after shots in gallery)

The silver/grey S/C grille looks good on Silver Sport to start with Thumbs Up

But I also like the HST grille (I know, I know).

Is it better? Not sure but both look good and as you say easy to change back.

Leave it for a week or two and see if it grows on you Thumbs Up Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

Sorry Jonny, it looks "aftermarket" and removes the classy look of the original. It doesn't have any class befitting the RRS with that grille. I don't like it at all but its not my car and its your personal choice. Sad Sad

dont think it really looks any better, or any worse with just the HST grill - I'd say it looks fine personally

I think it looks well on it Thumbs Up

Is it any better or any worse than the S/C grille ??

Probably not, as each one is nice in it’s own right.

But what it does do & it’s the reason I have one, is it makes your RRS a little different from all the ones with S/C grilles. Be they an add on by the owner, or be they TdV8’s which comes with the S/C grille as standard.

Given that the HST grille is harder to get your hands on, it gives you a little more individuality & for that it gets my Thumbs Up
