Side Vents - Changing

Hi Guys

I just bought a set of the Super Charger side vents for my Range Rover Sport. Genuine ones, with the chrome fins and chrome rear mesh and standard grey everything else.

Should look great. But how do I fit them???

I was told it would be easy, but looking at my current ones I can't see how they pull out. Are the removeable from the outside of the wing???

Help please!!!

Many thanks!

Not sure how the new ones fit. Waiting for them to arrive. They are genuine though so will fit in the same manner as the originals.

I'm pretty sure you can't see the inside side of the wing from within the boot? I'll have a look, but I don't think so???

No a proper pain would be ****ting your thumb with a hammer fitting them.
lol checker took away the t w a t

Ah yes - meant bonnet not boot.

So nobody here knows how to change the side vents?? I thought this was the main Land Rover forum for the UK?? Come on guys!

Most people here have the P38 or the classic, personally not got the money for the newer one let alone buy two of them within three months perhaps you would be better off asking at the dealers or investing in a workshop manual.

i'd do as Tervueren has said, either ask at a dealer or get hold of a workshop manual, or why not wait till the new ones arrive so you can see how they fit, unless your in a rush to take the old ones off so you can have giant holes in your wings!!!

Hi there

2 in 3 months? It's the same car and I've had it around 5 weeks!

Anyway, thanks for the help
