Ah thats a thought ,,
The dealer ive bought it from (not landrover) thinks it could be a radar jammer , but its a one owner car by a lady with an elderly name so unless dorris was a lead foot i cant see it being that

I also thought about a radar or something speed camera related, but then if they removed the unit or whatever was inside why not take that.Andy

I would say that's to obvious for a radar jammer as I think they are illegal in the UK.

Yes, jammers are illegal in the UK.
A (ex) friend had something very similar on the front of his car. He'd never adequately explained to me what it was genuinely for, but he's had at least two long conversations with the gentlemen of the constabulary explaining to them that it was to open a garage door.
If looks unoriginal and it's not needed, I'd remove it. It'll only attract unwelcome attention.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
