To fit you need to take the grill off and headlights out.Both front wheel arches and bumper off. If you have sump gard that as to come off as well.Their's a couple of vids on You tube on how to do it . They do look good but even better with spot lights on as well. But thats another story wiring spots up

JESUS H , I have just checked out what it entails....You have got to be having a laugh....
I know I am going to kill my D3 if I take off the front end.....
And it's bought and on route....
Just watch a youtube video of an Irish bloke fitting one, trouble is part 1 and 3 where there and no part 2....
Hey ho, it doesn't look that bad.......
What do I do with the parking sensors ????
Cheers in advanced....

Very god damn funny........
I am confident that by Saturday early afternoon (If the damn thing ever arrives) I will be phoning my new LR Techie friend... ....or driving out of my unit looking the dogs ....
Took a call last night to pick up my D3 this morning having filled up the eco warrior volvo, £40:00 and nearly a full tank....and I can honestly say I was smiling for the first two miles back to work.
And giving credit where it's due Hatfields sorted 99.9% of my "moans" out... One result was finding a techie who wasn't up his own .....

Started the fit at midday, two hours later all back together and tightening up the bolts on the nudge bar.
Only snapped the last f ing one, cross threaded and and I couldn't get it to thread proper.
So all off again to get the other half of the bolt out...
What really cheesed me off was, after lining it up to the millimeter the damn steel bumper's holes for the brackets were off by about 8mm to the left. Three time i had to make the holes in the plastic bumper bigger...
Anyhows, it's on and looking pretty damn good.....
I will post some pics soon....ish.... [/img]

Thats the Forum member BlackBetty, a friend of mine. His You tube "HOW TO's" are great, but the Father Ted accent distracts me no end

Great aint It, what you need next is the Badge Set "LAND ROVER", the indents in the A bar are a Perfect Match.

Yep, the OEM Bonnet Badge fits Directly onto the A Bar...................
As for posting pics, go to Gallery, then upload, then it opens a window to you PC menu. Choose the file, probably Pictures and click on the pic you want....Tip, do one at a time.
