You can currently buy the LR genuine rear bumper 09MY off ebay for £50 brand new ready for painting. I spoke to the guy and he bought 100 from LR apparently.SOLD - 23my Range Rover Sport D300 Dynamic SE

I also know this guy does front, back and sides for D3
rates are as following : 250 quids front or back bumper or 900 the whole lot with every side trims needed.
a bit much I reckon, though, for the one who wishes to update his Zambezi 2004 ageing disco, it'd do the trick along with 09 19''s and clear side repeaters... l=Oo\________/oO=l l:Ool======loO:l

awwwwww.....
I have the following equation to work out...
1 Expo Rack + 1 Ladder + Full Set Lamp Guards = X
1 09 Style Front Bumper + 1 09 Style Rear Bumper + Colour Coded Arches = Y
How close do we think X and Y are given that X is second hand and Y is new Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Ah, but this calculation is definitely right
