I know its not to everyone's taste on the forum, but i've just purchased the sports kit in Sumartra black off e-bay.. £500 which i thought was a good deal as the last time i spoke to my dealer about it, they wanted £1600 to supply and fit!..

Anyway, has anyone actually fitted the full kit themselves? - I'm aware a few have fitted the grill, rear top spoiler etc, but has anyone fitted the front and rear spoilers? -if so any tips?

I'll be picking it up from Hereford Landrover sometime next week (as they want £100 to post it ).. considerably cheaper for me to drive the 350 mile round trip to pick it up.. tight ar*e i know and i also get to give her a good drive for the day...

Also, anyone know much about these LED headlights that are starting to appear - it seems the boy's over on the RRS site can already buy / retro fit these?

Anyway, she's 8 months old now... 6k on the clock, and i still smile everytime i drive her.. great little motor!

Cheers
Steve

hello,

on this page http://www.ownerinfo.landrover.com/extfree2viewlrprod/index.jsp you will find instructions for assembly - may be useful for something _________________________

Only tip is the 3M sponge and adhesive bonds immediately, make sure everything is lined up but otherwise, although I haven't fitted the kit, the only troublesome bit looks like the rear bumper because of all the damn clips. Phil

Hi Steve, I was watching the out come of that auction myself. (Petrol Kit) I have just had one fitted last week at my local body shop cost me £120. apparently simple to fit-full instructions with the kit, absolutely everything sticks on with double sided tape that's included. the front bib is in 3/4 pieces and the rear apron is one piece. door bottoms and original front bib come off and then bigger ones get stuck on.

Mine looks great with the kit on, I'm Sure you'll love it!

In my book £100 is cheaper /same as a 350 mile trip ?? allowing for all costs, but I suppose that's cars are for, driving to places . And at least you know some parcel force gorillas wont be throwing your stuff around. (hope npbody here works for parcel force ) At work

when you get to the LR dealer, check that all the parts are there and none of it is damaged, if they haven't stated any missing parts or damage you can insist on a refund  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Cheers for the heads up chaps.. - Taken a look at the fitting instructions (cheers Bartosz) - looks fairly straight forward - will post some pics once complete.

Rowy - please tell me that £120 was for fitting only and not the full kit!!!! out of interest where did you buy your kit if you don't mind me asking?..

CG, i'm getting between 540 to 560 out of a full tank at present, so i suppose there is not much in it when you take into account wear and tear.. but filling up the tank for £80 and using half a tank to get there and back still sounds and feels cheaper than loosing £100 for delivery...

It isn't double sided tape on its own, there's a 3M liquid adhesive applied onto the other surface, then squeezed the two together. Phil

While its true that I don't love the sports kit , I can see why people do, Ha anyone fiited the kit but left the standard grill in place, the mesh one is what puts me off the kit , more the fact that I like the standard one rather than actively dislike the mesh.


Its good to differ though, otherwise we would have nothing to talk about  At work

£ 120 was for the fitting, Paid £600 for the kit from guy salmon stockport-Craig in parts is a top man and goes the extra mile for ya. Don't bother using my local dealer as they are all thick as s T! sales & parts-I dread to think how bad the service dept would be!

Best i get out of a tank is 380 miles, presently showing 27.2 mpg for last 112 miles
