Will this bumper fit...
Hey all. Thank you.
I have a 2005 HSE that does not have colour coded bumpers
Does anyone know whether the colour coded ones are a straight swap, please?
I'm looking at this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113010185371?mk...media=COPY2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...
2014 BMW 435d convertible. Bought July 2021. 58,000 miles and counting...
2005 Discovery 3 HSE Auto. Bought Feb 2019. 169,000 miles and counting...
2009 Freelander 2 XS Manual. Bought Sep 2013. SOLD Aug 2021 (already regretted!)

Yes, that should swap out ok.
Did that same thing (both front & rear) many years ago when I had my 2005 D3.
I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Thanks loads.
Looking at your gallery I'm doing the same upgrade - this weekend I'm picking up the same front bumper as you've used. I love the body coloured bumpers mixed with the black plastic arches and sills. Similar setup to the new Defender. 2022 BMW i4 M50. Bought Oct 2022. 10,200 miles and counting...

Startech on my D3 ….. how very dare you !
The rear bumper undertray is not aftermarket ….. blooming newbies
This was part of a GENUINE LR styling pack, consisting of a restyled front bumper and this rear bumper undertray section.
I bought the pack and immediately sold on the front bumper (too bling), as it was the rear undertray section only that I was after.
Probably now a bit too rare to source.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

My humble apologies, kind Sir
Star tech looks almost identical although the exhausts are split in two on each side.
My excuse is that ST isn’t my cup of tea either
