Fitment was spot on, they are genuine Land Rover bumpers. Exhaust tips we're welded on. Thumbs Up The name’s Bond ‘ James Bond’

Out of interest, why make it look like something it isn't?
I just don't get this whole fake SVR craze.....I'm all for personal choice, but it won't sound or feel like a real SVR.

And if it was purely for the "aesthetics", why put an SVR badge on a diesel? Now

I'm slightly perplexed by this as well although he didn't answer to say if it was diesel or not just that it was an 'Autobiography.' I quite like the fact that mine's also a diesel Autobiography, even one with a puny V6. I just cannot fathom barrying up a diesel to look like an SVR, imagine the embarrassment when you fire it up in front of some knowledgeable onlookers. Why not just buy an SVR and be done with it? Still, his motor at the end of the day so he can do what he likes with it I guess. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

It’s a Diesel.

I probably would have put the standard facelift rear bumper on to match the rear lights but each to their own.

Imagine being so ashamed of your diesel Range Rover Sport that you have to pretend it's an SVR. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ Ferrari F430 Spider F1

I understand about adding svr badge to diesel.

But nothing wrong with giving the car a more sporty aggressive look.

Personally I prefer the more deeper and more aggressive look of the svr bumpers. But would leave out the svr badges as its not an svr. I would leave the SDV6 badges.

Aye, I'd agree with that although I wouldn't do the exhausts like that as it's just not my style.

I get it up to a point, before the RRS I had a BMW F31 335d with twin tailpipes on the left and absolutely hated it, especially after my E91 that had single pipes either side. Two days after picking it up I had an AC Schnitzer conversion from two on the left to one each side which looked so much better. I also debadged it for a cleaner look.

I'm all for personalising and fettling one's wheels but pretending it's an SVR with those badges are a big fat no from me. What's wrong with a 'normal' RRS? Plenty to be proud of there already. Ferrari F430 Spider F1

That's exactly my point.

I'm all for individualising a car, though it's not my thing personally.
I have a diesel autobiography as well as an SVR and to be honest, most days I actually prefer the SDV6, as its perfect for flying below the radar & going about my daily life. I'm just as proud of it as I am my more "special" cars.

I absolutely get the more aggressive styling, but by putting a fake badge on it, you are overstepping a mark and just putting yourself into the same group of people who put an M badge on their 318...Anyone worth their salt can tell it's a fake and when have that adoring fanboy / kid comes up to you in the car park and ask you to rev the engine.... which I had in my GT the other week, you have to let him down and feel like a Censored

Each to their own though... Whistle Now

Nice garage by the way. I remember last year parked up Frogside waiting for the Eurotunnel when I heard a delicious rumble start up a couple of cars down and out trundled a burgundy convertible GT, with the roof down, driven by a chap with an enormous handlebar moustache, made me smile he did! Ferrari F430 Spider F1
