If you own a Range Rover Sport L320, you’ll already know that for all its strengths, interior storage was never its strong point. These cars, built between 2005 and 2009, were designed first and foremost as capable, comfortable performance SUVs, not rolling gloveboxes. Everything feels solid and well thought out, but practical day-to-day storage is surprisingly limited.
One area that often gets overlooked is the shallow shelf beneath the navigation screen. On paper it’s a useful little cubby. In reality, it’s a smooth plastic surface with no grip at all. Put anything on it and the first roundabout, speed bump, or enthusiastic pull away sends your keys, sunglasses, coins, or phone sliding straight across the dash. Many owners simply give up using it altogether, which is a shame, because it’s actually in the perfect place.
Land Rover clearly recognised this shortcoming themselves, because there is a factory solution. A non-slip dash mat you see in these photos was designed specifically to sit in this recess, turning that slippery shelf into a genuinely useful storage area. With the mat fitted, items stay where you put them, even when the car is being driven properly rather than dawdled around town.
These mats were available under part numbers FAH500190 and FAH500210. They are moulded to fit the shelf exactly, sit flush, and look like they belong there rather than being an aftermarket bodge. Once fitted, they’re one of those accessories you stop noticing entirely, which is usually the sign of a good design.
The problem is availability. These mats were never standard equipment, and Land Rover stock has been patchy for years. Many dealers will tell you they’re no longer available, or simply draw a blank when you ask. As a result, owners tend to assume they’re discontinued and unobtainable.
Occasionally they do appear online, but usually on large marketplaces where prices are inflated to cover seller fees. It’s not uncommon to see them listed at eye-watering money for what is, in reality, a simple but very useful factory accessory. That puts a lot of people off, especially when they’re trying to keep an older Range Rover Sport sensible and usable rather than turning it into a money pit.
This is exactly the sort of small, practical part that gets lost over time, despite making a genuine difference to everyday use. It’s not flashy, it won’t add horsepower, and nobody will notice it at a car meet. But you’ll notice it every single time you drive the car and don’t have your belongings skating across the dashboard.
That’s where we come in. We stock the correct non-slip dash mat for the L320 Range Rover Sport and make it available without the marketplace markup. No hunting, no inflated prices, and no uncertainty over fit. If your car falls within the 2005 to 2009 range, this is the mat designed for that exact shelf.
We ship worldwide, so whether your Range Rover Sport lives in the UK, Europe, or further afield, you can still get hold of one. It’s a small upgrade, but one that restores a bit of everyday practicality Land Rover arguably should have included from the start.
If you’re tired of that dash shelf being effectively useless, this is the fix. Order it once, fit it in seconds, and forget about it forever, which is exactly how a good factory accessory should be. Click the button below to find it on our shop.
