I think the HST body kit fits the early models. 94 Disco 300 TDI Gone

The HST is what is currently have installed funnily enough!! Ha-ha. Looking to upgrade to the Dynamic kit but not fork out for a newer bumper. Thanks though. |

Basically you can but the earlier bumper (HST) and later bumper (Dynamic) have different lower grills so it will fit but I think you’ll have bit of bumper exposed where normally the HST skirt covers.

Thanks for that Stuart, first time ive seen anyone even think of doing this to be honest. Everyone just says it wont fit the older model. Do you think i will have any problems with the tow eye cover lining up? Or will it just be a straight swap from the HST to Dynamic??? |

Tow eye cover is the same for both types of kit - or at least the fixing points are. I've had both kits and the centre piece was slightly different underneath, even though the LR part number was the same. |

Only difference is each outside skirt, centre tow eye cover is the same.

Not sure if anyone is actually interested in doing this or just curious but i managed to fit the Dynamic Body kit (meant for the later bumper) to the earlier bumper. Had to trim a bit of plastic that should tuck into the lower grill however as the lower grill isn't as long as the newer bumper, this needed trimming. Personally think it looks good, not everyone's cup of tea, i can imagine. I didn't fancy trying to color match with the bumper so have embraced the body kit and sprayed all satin black, again, not everyone's cup of tea. Bit of residue from the HST body kit adhesive which will come off hopefully when i buy some white spirit or similar! Let me know if any questions or anything. Cheers. |

Top job! The black spoiler and matching black side skirts looks just right! |
