--- Quote from: "anaxemurderer" ---Excellent, looks very nice. Why are there so many brown range rovers out there? (think mine was brown before it was sprayed!)

Could you post a few more pics of that bumper. Interested to see how tight it fits?

Looks brown in the picture but it is cassis red (burgandy to you and me)

Ill take some photos of the bumper over the weekend for you!!

When quering cassis on a french menu the answer was blackcurrent.


One of the advantages of the RRC off road was how soft sprung they were compared to everything else. Rather than fitting HD springs, a RRC can be lifted 1.5" approx without making them unnecisserily stiff by fitting rear springs on the front (works best on a V8 ) and changing the rears to red/whites strip springs which are cheaper than yellow/blue/orange/etc. HD springs. I actually fitted LHD rears to the front of my V8 which lifted it even more (+2" ish) as I was planning on a winch at the time.

The one advantage of fitting HD lift springs is if you removed the Bodge hydromate SLU they red/whites or similare are rearly too soft for towing or even driving with the car full loaded.

LaidBack:
Must admit most of my changes have come from advice of this forum (a lot from Range Rover Blues)
Gone for a 1.5 inch lift OME and fitted BFG MT's 235/85Rx16. No clashes and no other mods needed. Tyres great on road and unbelievable off. ZU Alloys  from Scorpion

anaxemurderer:
I am surprised you managed to fit 235/85 in without cuttingthe body work. Springs must be very stiff. Admittedly mine are on the large size but i've had to cut the arches and they still rub on serious articulation.

Looks nice though, like those rims and you can't tell me that ones glorified red aswell!

Wolfie - pics would be great thanks

Nick
