Range Rover Sport 2018 repair and tuning: SVR front and rear bumpers

A Range Rover Sport 2018 arrived at our partners in Chernivtsi after an accident. The vehicle required replacement of damaged body parts, so the owner decided not only to restore the standard look, but at the same time refresh the exterior in a sportier style.

For the repair, SVR-style front and rear bumpers were chosen. This solution made it possible to restore the car after the damage and make its appearance more expressive, aggressive, and closer to the factory Range Rover Sport SVR version.

Range Rover Sport after an accident

After the road accident, the car had damage to the front and rear body sections. Instead of installing standard bumpers, the decision was made to use SVR tuned parts compatible with the Range Rover Sport L494 2018–2022.

Before installation, the technicians inspected the vehicle, removed the damaged parts, and checked the condition of the mounts, reinforcements, and adjacent body elements.

This approach is important because the quality of the new bumper installation depends not only on the part itself, but also on the condition of the body after the accident.

SVR front bumper

At the front of the vehicle, they installed the SVR front bumper for Range Rover Sport L494 2018–2022.

The price of the front bumper at the time of the project was 33 675 UAH.

The SVR-style bumper differs from the standard version with a sportier shape, enlarged air intakes, and a more pronounced lower section. Thanks to this, the front of the Range Rover Sport looks more substantial and dynamic.

During installation, the following were carried out:

• removal of the damaged front bumper;
• inspection of the OEM mounting points;
• test-fitting the new bumper;
• checking body panel gaps;
• preparing the part for installation;
• final installation and adjustment.

Special attention was paid to the joints with the front fenders, hood, and headlights. Proper fitting made it possible to maintain even gaps and a cohesive look of the front end.

SVR rear bumper

At the rear, the SVR rear bumper for Range Rover Sport L494 2018–2022 was installed.

The price of the rear bumper was 17 960 UAH.

The SVR rear bumper has a sportier shape and a distinctive lower section. It pairs well with the front bumper and creates a finished look for the vehicle.

When installing the rear bumper, the technicians checked:

• the condition of the body mounting points;
• the bumper’s fit to the body geometry;
• positioning relative to the rear fenders;
• compatibility with parking sensors;
• placement of the lower decorative elements;
• evenness of body panel gaps.

After final installation, the rear of the Range Rover Sport gained a sportier, more modern look.

How much the parts and installation cost

Cost of the main parts for this project:

• SVR front bumper — 33 675 UAH;
• SVR rear bumper — 17 960 UAH;
• bumper replacement and installation — 8 000 UAH.

The total cost of the bumpers and labor came to 59 635 UAH.

The stated amount included the cost of the front and rear bumpers, as well as removal of the damaged parts, test-fitting, installation, and adjustment of the new elements.

Additional bodywork, straightening, or paintwork, if required after a specific accident, is calculated separately. The final repair cost depends on the nature of the damage and the condition of the vehicle’s mounting points.

Where the work was carried out

The replacement of the front and rear bumpers was carried out by our partners in Chernivtsi.

Before final installation, each part was pre-fitted on the vehicle. This made it possible to check compatibility, mounting point positioning, and body gaps before the final install.

This workflow helps avoid misalignment, uneven joints, and issues during further use of the vehicle.

Why the SVR style was chosen for the repair

When a vehicle already needs damaged bumpers replaced, installing a tuned kit can be a practical solution. The owner restores the car after an accident and simultaneously gets a noticeable exterior refresh.

Main advantages of this upgrade:

• a sportier look;
• a cohesive front and rear design;
• the ability to update the exterior during repairs;
• visual similarity to the Range Rover Sport SVR;
• preservation of the recognizable L494 model styling.

At the same time, installing SVR bumpers is exterior tuning. It does not turn the vehicle into an original SVR version from a technical standpoint, since the factory model has a different engine, braking system, suspension, and a number of other design differences.

What result was achieved

After the repair was completed, the Range Rover Sport 2018 received a fully updated front and rear end. The new SVR bumpers concealed the effects of the damage and made the vehicle’s appearance sportier.

The front and rear bumpers are made in a unified style, so the car looks cohesive. The tuning doesn’t feel like a set of separate parts, but creates a complete Range Rover Sport SVR-style look.

As a result, the owner received a vehicle restored after an accident with a noticeably refreshed design and a more aggressive character.
