- The listing claims genuine Rolls-Royce parts, though that is hard to verify.
- Carbon fiber panels, a scooped hood, and matte black wheels define the look.
- Inside, orange leather and a tablet-style screen push the cabin just as far.
A Range Rover Sport wearing a Rolls-Royce face is up for sale in Finland, which tells you everything you need to know about how this story is going to unfold. Someone decided the standard badge wasn’t enough and grafted on Cullinan-inspired parts with all the finesse of a chandelier in a shed.
The Range Rover Sport has long been popular among tuners, and can be equipped with a wide array of aftermarket upgrades, some classier than others. However, the owner of this 2006 example clearly wanted to own one that looks unlike any other, borrowing cues from what is arguably the most indulgent SUV on sale.

Now found at the front of the Range Rover is a blacked-out Pantheon grille just like a Cullinan, as well as similar headlights to the pre-facelift model. According to the listing on Nettiauto, it uses real Rolls-Royce parts, but we find that very hard to believe.
Beyond the Cullinan-inspired headlights and grille, there’s a replica Spirit of Ecstasy and a new bumper that incorporates an off-road-spec LED light bar. The tweaks don’t stop here, as the Range Rover also now rocks a carbon fiber hood with a massive scoop on it, juxtaposing what is a somewhat classy-looking front. There are also exposed carbon fiber front quarter panels.
Carbon Bonanza
The odd modifications don’t stop there. The owner has also had the SUV equipped with a set of matte black aftermarket wheels and has continued the carbon fiber theme with carbon rear quarters and D-pillars. There are also new side steps, customized and tinted LED taillights, and a distinctive bumper. Rounding out the exterior upgrades is a purple and blue finish, which is most likely to be a wrap, rather than paint.
Considering how much effort the owner has put into the Range Rover’s outside, it’s perhaps no surprise the interior has been tweaked too. Among the upgrades made are a large tablet-style infotainment display, bright orange leather on the dashboard and pillars, and a black quilted leather headliner.
At the end of the day, it’s hard to work out what the goal actually was. It isn’t Rolls-Royce, it isn’t Range Rover. It’s just… this. That’s either the appeal or the entire problem.
