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!

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

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

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"

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. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

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 ............ ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy
