The aftermarket, a place where you can find all the customisation for your vehicle, be at a sedan or an SUV like the Range Rover Sport. Aftermarket parts and accessories unlike OEM ones aren't made to fit a specific model or type of vehicle. But that's not a downside. Why? Because this is the reason why there is a lot of variety. With a certain accessory being able to fit on different models, it means that you can get one in different designs and they will all suit your Sport.
Aftermarket Range Rover Sport accessories are better than OEM ones since they are not only more affordable but also provide the same performance as an OEM for the fraction of the price. There are aftermarket parts that can make for a better experience than an OEM one for the same price. There is no reason not to get Range Rover Sport car accessories other than not knowing what to look for in one. This is where a little bit of help is needed especially for people that are new to the aftermarket world.
Bonnet Scoop
Most manufacturers put some limitations to make their vehicles last a little bit longer but you don't have to put your Sport through this torture. Range Rover Sport aftermarket accessories that let your SUV's engine breathe better and free it from the manufacturer's restrictive construction are bonnet scoops. These are openings on the bonnet that allow for extra airflow to help cool the engine better.
Types
There are 4 types of bonnet scoops, ram air, shaker, cowl induction, and intercooler scoops. Shaker scoops are mounted directly to the engine and protrude from the bonnet. Ram air scoops work more like a cold air intake since they scoop cooler air but don't send it directly to the engine. These are smaller than shaker scoops but acts as a sort of a supercharger due to the way they introduce cool air to the engine.
Intercooler scoops come as part of a supercharger system which doesn't provide any performance boost in itself rather it accompanies the intercooler and makes it work better. Cowl induction scoops are different from any other scoop since they face the direction opposite from oncoming air. As air hits the windshield it gets sucked into the scoop and goes to the engine. Different but they work just as well.

Bullbar
A bullbar is installed on the front of your Sport to keep its front end and components sitting behind it safe from animal strikes and other impacts.
Types
There are six different styles of bullbars you can choose from bumper, baja, nudge, competition, single and triple hoop. Bumper bars are the least protective as they only cover the bumper of your SUV. A baja bar is similar to a bumper bar except that it can be used with high-power winches and in off-road competitions too. Nudge bars are made for light impacts but are more protective than a bumper bar despite being made more for aesthetic purposes rather than protection.
Competition bars are made with a maximum level of protection in mind and they are most commonly used in off-road competitions. Single hoop bars come with one hoop over the radiator and are a common bullbar for on-road use. Triple hoop bars are similar to single hoop ones except they have three hops going over the radiator offering better protection.

Material
There are three materials bullbars can be made of. These are steel, plastic, and aluminium. Plastic is the least protective material but the lightest too. Steel is the strongest but the heaviest material and aluminium is a middle ground option. Aluminium is strong yet lightweight offering the best of both worlds whilst having naturally anti-corrosive proprieties.
Extended Mirrors
If you're hauling a trailer often with your Sport then consider getting extended mirrors. These side mirrors extend the view at the back so you feel like you're driving a big truck and have a great view of everything happening behind you.
Types
You have three types of extended mirrors bonnet, door, and mirror mounted. Bonnet mounted mirrors are the ones you'll want to avoid as they rely on a bar going across the bonnet to give you a clear view. Mirror mounted mirrors are the best since they clamp to your existing mirrors and are easy to install. Door mounted mirrors are great too but they are not as easy to install as mirror mounted but have added stability.
Roof Rack
When you need to pack more than your Sport can fit and want to have some friends join you on your trip consider getting Range Rover sport aftermarket accessories such as roof racks. These go on top of your Sport and can accommodate a lot of luggage and equipment.
Types
You can go with either one of three different designs of roof racks. These include rails, baskets, and cages. Rails are simple and easy to install but they do not provide as secure of a place as baskets. Baskets have a rail guard surround their base which makes it easy to secure items but while being fairly easy to install. Cages are more secure than baskets as they provide all-around rail guards but they are not that easy to install.
