Hi sorry me again - I'm fitting on Saturday so hopefully my annoying questions will be coming to a close...

So I bought a few bits from powerful and watched their video - they mention I should change the rad cowling for my 02 - is it necessary ?

Also they grunt off the middle two tabs off the crash bar and middle two off the lower bar - is this necessary?

Thanks Matt - well I'll get the hose and jets and pump and make something work hopefully...

Now one strange question - I'm sure I read else where that the tow eye is bigger on the early l322 and needs to be trimmed to get the cover on when doing front end or am I imagining it?


No you don't need to trim the toe eye the cover fits nicely

Just watched the video, I didn't fit the new airflow guide or head light supports the existing ones work fine and I haven't found that the airflow guide is required

Good luck and don't forget to post pics of yours when your done, any problems let me know

Hi Matt - today it began and I must say thanks for the guide it was very useful...

However coming from and 02 I had a few extra issues like removing the wiper system about 29 extra bolts etc but think I've got there...

I ground the wing glued the new piece on with body glue and then fibreglassed over it - hopefully that will be strang enough - and I paint the exposed metal I cut.

The bumper looks like it should sit in but time will tell hopefully I've done that right!

Everything seems to be there pretty much except my washer just fall through the bunper no way can the clip do anything... I have body glued them on for now not ideal but need the car for the weekend so can't really order...

Also I didn't realise one of my lights whilst in mint condition has two broken lugs and you can bet which two they are - when you say the new crash bar thing above the crashe bar is to support the lights do you tuck them behind it or do they sit on top?

Finally my deviation from the plan... The Bmw e46 pump... I think this might be a great shortcut - pulled old pump out and the new one is another half the height again... Also the sucker in the bottle end is slightly fatter so sealed great on the bottle. The push connector is slightly fatter on my pump than the new hoses so i remover the push connector and force the pipe over securing with a jubilee clip. I then just pushed the plug in no modification.

I will have an update at the weekend if it works but if it's for a fatter gauge pipe if have though so ...

Glad your making progress on your facelift.

When you say do they sit on top or tuck behind can you show me a photo of what you mean?

Hi all - I am pretty much done but really need to know what holds the washer jets as the fall straight through and there's nothing to push the clips into.

I siliconed them but it's already failing.

Also I can't seem to push the bumper sides in flush with the wings - in this where I glued the brackets ...?

Finally - the pdc colouring wire have changed so the original post doesn't make sense now here is a photo of correct wiring followed by how she looks now...

I have been looking for you, there is no part listed in the Land Rover parts system. I'm starting to think these must come from the factory already attached to the bumper. Might be best to contact Dan at Duckworths to see if he knows if it is a part you can buy separately

Thanks for looking so far Matt - hopefully Dan will chime in...

I have the jets and the clips but they just fall through

Dan, the inner panels you are searching for are fitted to the bumper in factory and get removed by companies like Overfinch for example to fit to their own bumpers at point of upgrade/fitment... This renders the “old bumper” unserviceable as a factory standard item...

You CANNOT buy the insert panels you are missing so you need to find a damaged bumper from a bodyshop etc to retrofit...

Sorry you have had to learn this the hard way... Hope you find some quickly sir Thumbs Up

Cam-Tech-Craig or anyone else - do you have a picture of them - i wonder if they could be manufactured with a jigsaw and some body glue?

Cheers
