I had a RR Sport and can confirm the above. The 'vents' on the 2016 model were also plastic. The car itself was OK when it worked but the Stealers were awful. Rude, dubious and asking for a good slap.Dannyp wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 10:45 am Agree! .
My first was a '68 mini which leaned to one side because the hydrolastic suspension was shot!
Then a '73 Triumph GT6 on which one of the wishbones collapsed (luckily while I was parking rather than on the motorway).
Then a '74 MGBGT on which I spent £9k on a restoration 30 years ago - only to see it rust away all over again!
An '81 Rover SD1 V8 which turned to dust quicker than Dracula on a sunbed ...
Best and most reliable cars I've had are my Mk1 MX5 and Gen 2 Boxster S.
Cars have improved massively over the years - with the exception of my Range Rover Sport - which is expensive, unreliable and poorly designed ...
... but I see that Range Rover are now sticking shiny black plastic fake vents on their latest designs - so that's alright then ....
The Good old days.

Dolomite Silver 'S' with red leather 14 way seats, Pano roof, Bose, Air suspension with pasm, Chrono pack, PDLS, Surround view, 911 turbo wheels, heated screen, spare wheel, ioniser,75 lt tank, black tail pipes, black roof rails.
One of the reasons I didn’t buy a Disco Sport was that the stealers gave the impression they were doing you a massive favour by just talking to you. Aston Martin in Chichester have been the best by some margin. Very friendly, very helpful and not even remotely snobby.Cheshire Cat wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 12:37 pmI had a RR Sport and can confirm the above. The 'vents' on the 2016 model were also plastic.

I think you may be aiming a bit low there......
^^^ a "bit"? Omni falls into that category and he's a youngster in these parts! Which reminds me, what's the best way to secure a Zimmer in the boot of a Macan?
