I bought a set of the colour coded side vents from Powerful UK, they arrived just now and it took me about ten seconds to decide to send them back for a refund, the quality is very poor.

One of the vents isn't put together properly, the three lugs that stick through the back plate, one of those isn't in it's hole, and there's so much space between the lugs and the back plate they rattle like mad, plus they're really flimsy.

These are not worth the money. Think I'll get my OE ones painted.

This is the second time I've had cause to send stuff back to them, not good. Discovery 4 HSE

We did say paint them...

Better have a look at Micks garage if you need side vents  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I know I know.

Going to paint mine myself I think, as long as I can take the vents apart I am fully capable, I did my grille surround. Discovery 4 HSE

So I'm assuming you're on Ebay a bit now, looking for genuine repainted or talking to a local painter ??  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I'm going to repaint mine myself. I did the grille surround, I'm just trying to find out from Supershuttle how they come apart and then I'll buy myself a set of the REALLY old 2 fin ones to fit whilst mine are off the car.

I have the paint to do it and it's not hard. Discovery 4 HSE

Just leave the holes (or tape over them) no need to fit anything, after all the vents are nothing more than decoration. Geoff

Not all aftermarket parts are poor: I bought these:
eBay item no eBay Item No. 151083449118
And the fit and quality is spot on, although methinks it should be cos I have a strong suspicion that the moulds are taken directly from the original parts.
And Before anyone says, this is the only bling on my car, honest. I was going to colour code them, but have decided I like the mix of Titan/ Noble etc.

Here is a very short video of the ones I bought from Powerful UK.

The amount they flex and rattle is crazy, and I'm so glad I sent them back, they're not worth £50 let alone £119.

If it doesn't say LAND ROVER on the box it isn't LAND ROVER in the box

Most probably made in the far east for pennies

Did you try and fit them and see how they fit.

No!

Once I had unpacked them and saw how flimsy they were there was no point.

If you've ever had the OE ones off your car and seen how they are constructed, you'd know instantly that these are utter
