I've never seen a P38a (old Range Rover sold 1994-2002) with an L320 (Range Rover Sport) front before!
For £250+ all-in I'd expect to get a full bumper respray.
Did they charge a lot to take and return your car?
Not a fan of the P38 with sport front end, although at least it looks slightly better than a P38 with L322 front end, one around locally that I always cringe at when passing, proportions are just wrong! Don't know whats wrong with a well kept P38 as it came from factory, no need to make it look like something it isn't!
Some like it and some don't, I guess I would get a L322 if my budget can stretch that far but hey there are many priority in life. I wouldn't pay and do the conversion but I happen to come across this one which has it.
My plan is to fix the rust patches and plastic dip it in black, again some like it and some don't
I will try and avoid your area 117 incase you pull a face muscle when you see it 
So, you are going to end up with a badly modified (seriously, look at the gap between the headlights and bumper) P38, with a nasty paint job?
The colour is one of the (only) nice things about that car. I'd be looking to return it to stock, or maybe OEM+ with a few tasteful (and subtle) mods.
Do I spy badly fitting wheels also, or is it just the angle of the photograph that makes them look like they are a) too wide, and b) stick out beyond the arches?

I agree with Para. If you want a newer looking RR then buy one 
well spotted and it handle like a bus, it is a on going project and I got it for a lot less than a well look after p38. Some stormer alloys are on order and it will have the correct profile then.
It is a project and I do have a Honda where we drive if we needed it. I will drive less than 3k miles on it each year.
I had a Supra TT and a E46 M3 before this and I am pretty much the OEM in all for cars. This is cheap enough to be a project and I won't cry if it blows up.

Christ, I had a ChipsAway guy come out and fix a much more significant gouge in my plastic bumper of my old Leon and it cost me £80.
Im confused as to why Chips Away picked up the car though, is their main selling point not that they come to you and fix it on location?
Few shots from a sunny weekend about a month ago.

Not normally a fan of the Scirocco but that looks very nice indeed in white.
I hate these types of comments!

I normally hate replies like that but that's a good one.

It's fairly simple. Some cars which may otherwise normally not 'float somebodies boat' do actually look better in certain colours to some people.
