What is the Front Bumper Lower Grille LR157964?

The Front Bumper Lower Grille LR157964 is a component installed in the lower section of the Land Rover's front bumper. Situated at the lower part of the vehicle's front end, it works in conjunction with the upper front grille, the bumper itself, and lower air-deflecting elements to form the complete front-end structure. Unlike purely decorative trim pieces, this lower grille also serves functional purposes, such as facilitating air intake, directing airflow, and protecting internal components. In the Land Rover aftermarket, LR157964 is typically used as a replacement when the original lower grille is damaged, broken, missing, or suffers from severe cosmetic defects.

Product Specifications

When to Replace the Front Bumper Lower Grille LR157964

1. Physical Damage

The LR157964 is made of plastic and is susceptible to damage during traffic accidents. Common forms of physical damage include breakage, deformation, or missing mesh sections. Beyond affecting the vehicle's appearance, such damage leaves sensitive internal components unprotected, necessitating a replacement.

2. Damage to Mounting Hardware

In addition to the grille itself, the clips or brackets used to secure it can break due to collisions or age-related wear. Even if the grille appears intact, it must be replaced if it cannot be securely mounted.

3. Incompatibility with ADAS Systems

For vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the radar sensor is located behind the grille. Installing a non-OEM or incompatible grille may obstruct or interfere with radar signals, causing system malfunctions.

4. Maintaining or Enhancing Vehicle Value

A damaged or missing grille detracts from the vehicle's resale value and overall appeal. Timely replacement helps maintain the vehicle's good condition.

Installation and Removal Guide

I. Pre-removal Preparation

Before removal, verify the OEM number (LR157964), the specific vehicle model and year, and the installation location of the lower grille. Also, ensure the clips, mounting holes, and contours of the new part match those of the old one.

If the lower grille is damaged due to a collision, inspect the front bumper (LR157963) and surrounding brackets for deformation before proceeding.

II. Removal

1. Clean the area around the bumper

Remove mud, sand, and debris from beneath the bumper to clearly view the mounting structure. Be mindful of the temperature of front-end components; if the vehicle has just been driven, avoid handling plastic clips while they are hot.

2. Locate the mounting points of the lower grille

Identify the mounting points at the top, bottom, and sides based on the specific vehicle structure. Taking a photo of the original installation setup beforehand is recommended, especially for repair shops handling multiple vehicles of the same model.

3. Remove external fasteners first

If bolts, screws, or other removable fasteners are present, remove them using the appropriate tools. Do not pull directly on the grille, as this may place excessive stress on the remaining clips.

4. Release the clips one by one

Once you have confirmed there are no hidden fasteners, release the clips gradually, starting from the edges. Use professional automotive trim removal tools; avoid prying the grille surface directly with metal tools, and do not attempt to pull the entire grille out with force in one go.

5. Remove the old lower grille

After disengaging all mounting points, remove the old grille from the bumper. If the old part is severely cracked, pay close attention to broken plastic fragments to ensure none remain in the bumper's mounting area.

III. Installing the New LR157964

1. Pre-installation check

It is recommended to place the new lower grille LR157964 into the corresponding position on the bumper for a test fit. Focus on verifying the contour, edge fitment, mounting hole alignment, and clip positioning. If significant misalignment is detected during the test fit, verify the product model and vehicle configuration; do not attempt a forced installation.

2. Begin installation at the primary alignment points

Align the lower grille with the bumper opening and alignment features; start the installation at the primary alignment points, then gradually press the grille into the remaining mounting points.

3. Secure the clips sequentially

Ensure each clip is correctly positioned and fully seated in its mounting point so that the grille edge sits flush, without any localized lifting or looseness. If a clip fails to engage properly, do not attempt to force it into place; instead, re-check the alignment.

4. Reinstall bolts or other fasteners

If the vehicle's original design utilizes bolts or other fasteners, reinstall them in their original locations, taking care not to overtighten.

FAQ

Q: Will replacing the lower grille affect the front ACC radar or collision warning system?

A: No, it will not. Aori Auto Parts' lower grille is manufactured using precise 1:1 OEM specifications and features built-in mounting brackets for the ACC millimeter-wave radar and PDC parking sensors.

The material does not interfere with radar beams; the system will function normally as long as the grille is snapped into place and the wiring harness is reconnected according to standard procedures.

Q: How should I maintain this grille?

A: We recommend cleaning the grille gaps every six months using a soft-bristled brush or a low-pressure water spray to prevent the accumulation of mud, sand, or debris, which could impair air intake efficiency.

Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the grille, as the force could damage the radiator fins or sensors located behind it.

Q: How is shipping calculated if I purchase the Front Bumper Lower Grille LR157964 together with the main bumper shell LR157963?

A: Bundled purchasing offers significant shipping savings. The lower grille can be nested within the hollow space of the main bumper shell for shipment; this method avoids increasing the volumetric weight and lowers the allocated shipping cost per item.

Q: What should I do if I receive the product with broken clips or a damaged mesh?

A: We offer a 100% worry-free shipping guarantee. If you receive damaged goods, please take photos or videos of the outer packaging and the damaged parts and send them to our customer service team within 7 days of receipt. Once verified, we will ship a free replacement or arrange a direct refund within 24 hours—no complicated return process required.
