p38 Upgrade to L322 Front

Has anyone upgraded there P38 to a L322 front bumper and headlights / indicators, any advice whats required. Does everything just plug in ?

the lights are done on mine they where done by a garage the lights have to modified a bit also the car front panel did you get any info about the front bumper as im looking to do this

:nopics:

i have done the lights on mine my self piece off p*** really with all the xeons high and low beam working ,will be looking at the bumper this weekend as i have one lying around,and i do know one thing is that the ends will need fiberglassing as they are the wrong shape and dip down will need to carry on straight pics off mine on the other thread

ffs - :nopics:

here we are then

I wish there was a quick and easy way to change the back of the P38 to look like the L322.

Its the biggest clue to its age IMO.....it's so 90's.

yu can - or at least yu can fit the rear lights, parrotly

wots the diff between those lights, superman - and the later square indicator version - I am led to believe they are bigger?

yu dint fit the headlight wipers then?

to fit the wipers i would have to cut the front chasie member completly away ( no thanks) lol and the back would be quite hard as even if u replaced the rear lights then u would be left with the ones on the tailgate so would look abit odd

Have a look here it might give you some idea what can be done with the p38.

i have seen that site before but i may do the rear lights at a later stage am going to look at doing the front bummper at the weekend i think that all is really needed for the back is a cover panel for the lower tail gate and new rear lights

The problem with Range Over is their prices....they have totally priced themselves out of the market. When you consider I can buy an L322 already pimped with 20" gun metal metallic rims, chrome vents, privacy glass etc for less than £11K then take their kit and put it on a P38 with paint job, its just stupid.

If they read this, I hope they realise and start doing realistic prices.....at this point I'm looking at just getting the L322 or Discovery 3 and forget the DIY.

I'm even at a stage now, that even putting L322 headlights and grill on my P38 seems a waste of time and money.

Reason being the lights and grille aren't cheap and and the car is worth what now? £2000? At this point I'll keep it original and next year buy a new car and trade it in or sell it separately. With twins on the way I need a Discovery 3 with 7 seats now anyway....

my range rover is a 7 seater now i just brought the overfinch conversion off ebay for 300 and i brought the whole l322 front end off ebay for 350 included grill,lights,side vents,bumper, fogs and with the x zeon bulbs so wasnt that expensive but depends on what age yours is as mine is booked at between 5-7k so mine is worth it ,it is to me any way as its my pride and joy.

Not to pee in your cheerios, but that maybe the book value, but in reality your car is not worth that in todays 2nd hand climate for the sale of 4x4's in general.

Mine should be worth £4500 at least, but I can tell you I'd never get that in a million years at the moment. They are so un PC, they guzzle gas like crazy, spares are expensive as are the repairs and servicing.

Unless you're a mechanic yourself and know what your doing and access to parts is cheap, even a classic is expensive to run.

With 2005 Discovery 3's, Porsche Cayenne's and BMW x5's going for just over 10-12K, P38's even if they are newer ie 2002, will not shift for their book values.

yea thats right but 2000 and under are alot better as they dont hit the higher tax band so a i would rather have a 2000 model and under than a 2001/2002 p38 and i have already been offered over 4k for mine but there is no chance i would sell it as its my pride and joy and it may be a gas guzerler i would say it drinks upto twice what a normal car does if that i get about 24 miles to a galon on a run where as a normal car will may be get about 40 if you are lucky so they aint that bad at all and the early l322 have lots of problems with auto boxes ect so not surprised they go cheap

Simple conversion. Trade the P38 in for an L322. They are going for a song at the moment.

Talking from experience, the L322 is much more refined and drives so much better than the P38.

IMHO.
