The CMST Range Rover Velar widebody kit is a multi-piece carbon-fibre and composite aero package for the 2017–2019 Velar, built to add width and presence while keeping the Velar's clean, monolithic styling. It rebuilds the front bumper, grille and lip, adds bolt-on front and rear wheel arches for a true widebody stance, fits four-piece side skirts with lower lips, and finishes the tail with a roof spoiler, rear arches, rear bumper, diffuser-style lip and corner pieces. Moulded from the Velar's own surfaces, the kit works with factory mounting points and is designed to suit the Velar's large-diameter wheel fitment.

• Vehicle: Range Rover Velar (L560), 2017–2019
• Material: carbon-fibre detail pieces (front lip, skirt lips, diffuser) with composite bumpers and FRP widebody arches
• Key pieces: front bumper with vent trims and grille, three-piece front lip, four-piece front arches, side skirts and lower lips, six-piece rear arches, roof spoiler, rear bumper, rear lip, rear corner pieces
• Stance: bolt-on widebody arches front and rear for added track width
• Finish: exposed carbon weave on detail pieces; bumpers and arches primed for paint or wrap to body colour

What the kit is

The Velar arrived as the most design-led Range Rover of its era: flush door handles, a smooth surface treatment and a deliberately uncluttered face. That restraint is exactly what gives it room to grow. The CMST kit does not fight the Velar's lines; it widens and lowers them. Track width increases through bolt-on arches, the nose gains a deeper bumper and splitter, and the tail is rebuilt around a diffuser and roof spoiler. The result reads as a factory-plus widebody rather than a bolt-on body kit, which is the point of a premium aero package on a luxury SUV.

It is worth being clear about the scope, because this is a large, multi-piece conversion rather than a single accessory. The full kit spans the front bumper, vent trims, grille and a three-piece front lip, four-piece front arches, four-piece side skirts with separate lower lips, a six-piece rear arch set, a roof spoiler, a rebuilt rear bumper, rear corner pieces and a rear lip. That breadth is what lets every surface of the Velar change in a coordinated way, so the finished car looks consistent rather than part-modified.

Piece-by-piece breakdown

Front bumper, grille and three-piece lip

The front is the most heavily reworked area. A new bumper assembly carries reshaped intakes and vent trims, paired with a redesigned grille that swaps the Velar's fine mesh for a more aggressive pattern. Below it sits a three-piece front lip in carbon fibre, which extends the splitter plane forward, sharpens the approach angle visually and channels air around the widened front arches. Because the lip is split into three sections, it ships and fits more easily on a bumper this size, and a damaged corner can be replaced on its own.

Widebody arches and four-piece side skirts

The defining change is width. Bolt-on front arches (a four-piece set) and rear arches (a six-piece set) push the bodywork out over the wheels, giving the Velar the planted, wide-track look that big wheels otherwise expose as under-filled. Between them, four-piece side skirts with separate lower lips run the length of the car, tying the front and rear arches together and dropping the visual ride height. On an SUV with a tall door section, that lower line matters: it stops the profile from looking slab-sided and gives the Velar a coupe-like stance from the side.

Roof spoiler, rear bumper and diffuser

At the back, a roof spoiler caps the tailgate glass and pulls the roofline into a sharper trailing edge, which both looks purposeful and helps clean up airflow leaving the roof. The rear bumper is rebuilt to match the front's intent, with a carbon rear lip and corner pieces that add layering low down, and a diffuser-style centre section that visually anchors the car to the road. Together with the rear arches, the tail gains the same width and aggression the front carries, so the car looks consistent from every angle.

Material choice: carbon, composite and FRP

A widebody SUV kit mixes materials by design, and it helps to understand why. The detail pieces you look at closely — the front lip, side-skirt lips and rear diffuser — are carbon fibre, both for the weave finish and for stiffness in parts that sit low and take stone strikes. The large arches and bumpers are moulded in composite and FRP (fibreglass-reinforced plastic), which is the right call for big panels: FRP is dimensionally stable, easy to prep and paint, and cost-effective to replace if a corner is kerbed. Trying to make every panel dry carbon would add cost without benefit on a two-tonne SUV; the mix keeps the kit's value where it shows.

Fitment and finish in Australia

This is a bolt-on widebody, so it rewards careful fitting. Arches mount to existing body points but should be dry-fitted to set even arch-to-tyre clearance before final fixing, and wider arches change how the wheels sit, so confirm wheel offset and tyre size against the new bodywork to avoid rubbing at full lock or under load. The carbon front lip and skirt lips sit low; an experienced fitter will set ride-appropriate clearance to protect them on driveways and speed humps. Bumpers and arches arrive primed for paint or wrap, and matching them to the Velar's body colour — or running a deliberate two-tone with a black bonnet and roof — is part of the look. Australian UV is hard on clear coat, so a ceramic coating or paint-protection film over exposed carbon keeps the weave from hazing.

FAQ

Which Range Rover Velar does the CMST kit fit?

The kit is designed for the first-generation Range Rover Velar (L560), model years 2017–2019. Confirm your build year when ordering, because bumper sensor and camera cut-outs vary slightly across the range.

Is this a true widebody, or just a lip kit?

It is a true widebody. The kit includes bolt-on front and rear wheel arches that widen the track, not just lower lips. That is why wheel fitment and tyre sizing should be checked against the new arches during installation.

Is the whole kit carbon fibre?

No, and that is by design. The detail pieces you see up close — the front lip, side-skirt lower lips and rear diffuser — are carbon fibre. The large arches and bumpers are composite and FRP, which are more stable and easier to paint over big areas, and cheaper to replace if kerbed.

Will I need new wheels or spacers?

Not necessarily, but the widebody arches are built around a wide-track, large-diameter wheel fitment, so it is worth confirming your wheel offset and tyre size fill the new arches correctly. Our team can advise on offsets that suit the kit before you commit.

Do the bumpers come painted?

They ship primed, ready for paint or wrap. Most owners colour-match the bumpers and arches to the body and keep the carbon lip and diffuser exposed, often with a contrasting black bonnet and roof for a two-tone finish.
