Well I just checked the photos of my old 2002 model, and the rear is the same as your silver car! My current 2006 s/c is also the same as your silver one.

Go figure! Shocked

Checked on Pistonheads, and all the early cars have the same differences - weird! Mybe my old car was a dud? Very Happy

You git; I did wonder why it flexed so much! Rolling with laughter

I knew the car from its first owner. He only had it 18 months from new, and put 15k miles on it. I'm sure I would have noticed if it "was away for a lengthy period of time" to have said "modifications" Wink

One more thing that the trainspotters will be looking out for to determine age..

Is it just a trim piece? If you look closely, there is still a thick section behind the glass, so the bodyshell will be the same no doubt. 02 Vogue

The top pic with the ding in it i had to get that replaced and when they took it off the glass was just the same as in picture 2, so i could either leave it off and get the other side taken off , but decided to get it replaced.

More like a cost cutting exercise on LR's part not to put them on ............

20p saved off the production cost of every new FFRR then Mr. Green beancounters at work shaving costs Now the FFRR has morphed into a 2012MY RREvoque Dynamic Lux Plus Auto SD4 Coupe in Fuji White with full ebony interior
