2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I regularly see a fully colour coded White P38A 4.6 HSE Range Rover that has RRS side vents. I think that Rimmer Brothers who are well known suppliers and refettlers of older Landies do that to P38A's as well. In fact Rimmers will sell you a full conversion kit to make your P38A look like an RRs from the front as well, complete with BiXenon headlights. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Sorry it's not Rimmers but Simmonites - there are a few for sale on their used car lot here http://simmonites.com/vsale.htm

Or worse than an RRS lookalike are the crossbread P38A/RRSport/L322FFRR Frankenstein cars they also make - P38A donor car with FFRR front grille and headlights with RRS wing vents...............................
OR even worse still a Defender on 20" S/C wheels

Scroll down the page to see all the horrors!

Although this Disco2 looks quite nice on Tigers.....................

Just don't look at it front on with an HST grille.................................. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

A chap on our business park has put RRS SC front,side grills and Stormers on his P38 - looks naff, but sounds good (not sure what exhaust system he has fitted)

ANORAK WARNING

If you look carefully at one of the photos where there is an unconverted P38 and what purports to be a conversion on Fleabay it REALLY is an RRS and not a conversion - the roofline is too raked for a P38 and I'm sure that the kit won't require chopping the C and D pillars and putting a sloping rear roof on and replacing the rear glasses (but I know a guy who might have some RRS tints for sale that might help the job!) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Bit if you compare the rake with the P38 shown and the RRS next to it, they seem the same - thats the first thing I looked at

Actually, I agree with Tim that D2 doesn't look bad.... I've always thought the D2 looks better than the D3 anyway
