2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Lux Auto Java Black

D3 to D4 2014 conversion

Can anyone help me who might have done this to their car. I've fitted the D4 panels but am now struggling to get the D4 bumper on.

This is how the front of my car looks at the moment:

I realised I had to take these bits off because they were getting in the way:

But still something seems to be stopping the bumper going on

It could be these flappy plastic bits???:

Anyone know if they need trimming or is it something else?

Any help much appreciated

I've taken a look at that and it's not easy to follow as wayback machine doesnt load the photos. Could do with knowing if I definitely need to cut the radiator cowling before I go hacking away at it. Thanks anyway.

Cutting that does sound familiar, I'm sure somebody did write about that.

Can you not remove it entirely as one piece? Mods:

I'm not scared, I'm outta here.

Going to have a look at how to remove it in one piece. It may be the design of the 2014 bumper does the same job. Think this is what needs to be cut or removed:

Hopefully I'll get the front end finished soon
