I wonder if the wing mirror extensions will ever make it into production for trailer / caravan towing because those ones look really nicely integrated and the one on the other side looks a bit bigger. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

That car looks so much better with black A pillar trim, and looks a reasonably easy swap even for a non-techie like me. Thumbs Up

PS Looks to my inexperienced eye, well my AT searches, they the 110s have body coloured A pillar external trims, while 90s are black. Confused Confused

Land Rover give 1.1 hours to fit the raised air intake

The door only has three bolts and one connector holding it on

Just take the door off and do it properly!

The door removal is actually very easy, especially with two ppl to lift off and back on.

I've no idea how large the ducting is behind the wing-side grille, but won't that massively reduce the amount of air going in? I appreciate that the laws of aerodynamics means wind will peel round the back of the RAI, but it's doing a turn of almost 180 degrees. At speed. I wonder what loss of air that gives, incrementally with speed? Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

That RAI doesn't exactly radiate quality, and the way the cap fits is very shoddy.

The grill has fallen off my RAI, twas only held on with what looks like double sided paper based sticky back tape. I now have a piece of one sided sticky back paper stuck to each part Rolling Eyes 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

I have just lost my grill too. Lucky it dropped off when only at low speed and not when flying down the motorway. Just waiting to hear what the dealer will do. Either stick it back on or replace.

With grill off though you can really see how cheap it is with rough plastic edges... Sad 110 County Station Wagon V8
