PRESS RELEASE

STRUT has introduced a new carbon fiber finish option in a new design for the 2006 to ‘08 Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport. These collections are also offered in standard chrome or black, and STRUT can color-match grilles to any Range Rover paint finish, the company says.

The 2006 to 2008 Range Rover Sport Carbon Fiber Collection features a primary grille, matching lower intake vent, two side vents and a rear tailgate shield.

The Range Rover Carbon Fiber Collections continue STRUT’s high standards of manufacturing meeting the same exacting standards used in Formula 1 racing applications. The lightweight primary front grille features a diamond woven mesh formed from 316L stainless steel and painted black with a specially formulated powder-coat finish.

Outlining the grille is a handmade pre-impregnated carbon fiber surround coated in clear polyurethane for long lasting durability. A matching diamond-woven mesh lower-intake vent and two carbon fiber/stainless steel mesh side vents, all with STRUT shields are included with the Range Rover Sport Carbon Fiber Collection.

The full-size Range Rover Carbon Fiber Collection includes a matching hood grille, which is found only on this model. Completing the bespoke look of both collections is a gleaming STRUT shield encased within a carbon fiber bezel for the tailgate.

“Our customers have been asking for a lightweight, distinctive grille in a sporty design using carbon fiber,” said Tommy Gaut, vice president and general manager. “The STRUT design team chose the highest quality reinforced materials and epoxy resins produced in the U.S. to create a lighter, stronger grille which can be molded into a variety of shapes for our new signature look.”

The Carbon Fiber Collection for the 2006 to 2008 Range Rover features a primary front grille, matching hood grille, side vents and rear tailgate shield. The line is now shipping.
