That makes sense. Best keep an eye on things then. I'll speak to them tomorrow to see what they intend to do and cut them down to fit if I have to. I like the look, just should have been trial fitted before they sent it out. I think both Powerful UK and JLR seem to use customers as guinea pigs!FFRR 2017 4.4SDV8 Autobiography.

Thanks for posting the pictures and feedback. Looks good.
Was about to order black/silver/black but is now saying out of stock.
Wonder if that's due to stock or withdrawal from the issues you're reported?Luke

There are two different grills for different year models of the D4. Wrong one for your vehicle?“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Black+Chrome Disco4 facelift style front grille for Land Rover Discovery 4 2010+
Makes early Disco 4 look like later model in 10 minutes
Which Vehicles will this fit ?
This item WILL fit all Discovery 4 models from 2010 - 2014
This item WILL NOT fit the Discovery 3 model ( 2005 - 2009 )
This item WILL NOT fit the later Discovery 4 "facelift" model from 2014- 2016
As pasted from the advert on eBay.
I have a 2012 MY.

Hi - Its Simon from Powerful UK here.
Firstly sorry for the problems with the grille ! the problem was i tried it on a D3 that had be facelifted to a D4 so i missed this problem. I do care about customers and we try and support our customers with videos / great products and great service but sorry we missed this detail.
I took the grilles out of stock to fix the problem... we do still have lots in stock.
Currently looking for a Disco 4 - found one in Peterborough.
Please use our facebook page to escalate any issues as i check this daily and cant watch all the forums.

Nice to have a 'hands up', apology and a 'we'll fix it' from a supplier.
Well done Simon
Reckon these will sell in heaps once the issue is sorted.🏴

Excellent, just could have done with the call yesterday as promised. The area that it fouls is the second step down on the two side "baffles" to the outer edges. It won't take much to sort but needs to be put right before sending any more out.
I have to say I like the finished result and a set of side vents and door handles in black and I'll keep quiet guv!

This definitely explains why I couldn't order one then
Simon - Any ETA's on a fixed version being available?
Also noticed in the photos fisherman's kindly posted that the top of the grille doesn't line up with the top of the headlights as it does on original 2013 D4 grille or 2014 facelift's (as photo shows).
Is this just the angle on fisherman's photos or does is the grille a few mm too high?

Otherwise very good work and response to forum and looking forward to them being re-orderable
Cheers Luke

The fit around the lower part of the headlight looks fine but deviates away from the correct line the further it goes up the headlight to leave a gap by the light whilst encroaching on the bonnet line at the top.
The finish looks good and the price is reasonable, but it looks like the product is not ready yet.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

This is how the top of the grill aligns with the headlights, image taken at a level with the lamps.
This is how much I had to cut away to clear the inside edge of the headlamps.
