Here is a before and after shot of the same grille on my car.
Not the best photos but you get the idea. I think it's made the car look beefier.

Excellent. Just updates it slightly, see actual face lift model and mine.

Maybe we should start a 'semi-facelift' thread? Travelling around in circles again.

Yes, sounds like a plan.
Kind of got the 'face lift look' but for a fraction of the cost, just got the rear lights to do next.

PS Only thing to do on the front face is to now fit a chrome / silver strip below the licence plate.

So am I right in thinking this "mimics" a 405 grill - personally I'm just not quite sure that it "matches" the "character/look" of the L322.

Sorry, just my opinion - what's most important is that you are happy with it Thumbs Up

I'd prefer it if it had the honeycomb grille rather than the elongated oval of the 405.
However I changed my grille to update the overall look and not mimic a 405.
The only reason why I haven't done a full 2009 onwards facelift is because I'm sure the money will be needed for repairs at some point. Travelling around in circles again.

J90 - I think you are right - it's the oval slots v's honeycomb that I am not quite sure about - perhaps there is a market opportunity for someone to produce one Thumbs Up

What you could do is paint the center grill in [Choice 1] a darker coulour (or even black chrome) to blend it in à la 2009 and/or [Choice 2] paint the grey surround gloss black along with the headlamps' interior trim (à la 2012). This last option does work very well on the pic below and do not look "chav" at all, quite a slight update LR could have produced themselves say in 2008 before the 2009 facelift Thumbs Up

It is a shame the aftermarket manufacturer opted for a L405 type grill when they could have used the 2009-12 L322 honeycomb for a better result and probably higher sales volumes!

Choice 1




Choice 2

Nah, sorry, looks like it should be owned by a premier league footballers missus! As Clarkson said once, should be called the Range Rooney!

Why Censored up the looks of a classic car? You wouldn't put furry dice on the interior mirror on a Ferrari Daytona would you ? (Well perhaps if your name was Mario Bartorelli - that footballer who had a camouflaged Bentley and the stupid haircut!)
