Took a while for me to get this one...

Couldn't work out ATB Embarassed more commonly referred to on here as AB

Kept looking at the main front grille thinking, "but surely they're both the same!"... Even resorted to counting the honeycomb holes to see if one had more than the other Laughing

Then the pennies dropped Very Happy

The standard finish on your bumper intake vent grilles wins for me. Classy looking Thumbs Up

It's ok. I have noticed people here do not like mods.
I'd installed shiny chrome. But I would always go with original parts or British or American parts. I can't sleep knowing I installed far east parts.

To my conservative English taste the surrounds are a bit tasteless, but I can appreciate others might think differently. Geoff

A bit of useless info for your morning reading, but, Land Rover Solihull refer to these front vents commonly as the “99”s. Thumbs Up 19MY SVA-Dynamic Spectral Chromoflair Blue but colour not available in profile

🤷‍♂️, that’s what I was told, the shape on the front when having vents connected with a strip also look like two 9’s. So they call them the 99’s. The left hand vent takes the shape of a reverse 9 and the right of a conventional 9 Whistle

But yes, definitely an ice cream 🍦 Laughing 19MY SVA-Dynamic Spectral Chromoflair Blue but colour not available in profile

99 problems but a grill ain’t one??

No idea what 99 means for this I don’t see a 9 Shape in my grill haha. Unless you are referring to the 2018+ SVO where the bumper grills tie into the trim piece down by the fog light. The pre-2018 SVO do not do that though...they look like what I pictured but more recessed/subtle

Thanks Stan...I for sure like the 2018+ style center grill. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Yes Sir, that is exactly what I mean.

I’m just passing on what I was told at LR by Dave Hopwood who was the Head Of Design for the SVA at SVO when ordering my SVA at Oxford Road. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️.

As I also said, probably a bit of useless information.
