1 year later

Well, I've finally done all the little things I wanted to do with my 2004 TD6 and this is the result. Nothing major, just a few minor cosmetic touches such as:

Replaced the wheels and tyres with 20" (whatever that type of alloy is) and Continental tyres

Changed the stock grey grille and side vents to chrome and silver (I've kept the originals)

Replaced the front side lights and interior lights with LED's (Blue on the interior with white in the map lights) and changed the side repeaters from Orange to clear with mirror finish bulbs.

Replaced a broken tail light with a set of "clear" lamps and added some wind deflectors

Put some chrome finish door handle covers on and washed it

It could do with a valet, and i'll get that done but I have left the few minor dents and scrapes as experience with my other car means as soon as I would fix it somebody would dent it again

Everything was bought second hand (except the door handle covers and LED's) either from here or eBay and in the case of the wheels and side vents from a garage about a mile from here so all done on a very limited budget. It needs a bit of corrosion dealt with under the back doors where the wheel arch is and i'll get that done in the next month or so but there she is ready to drive me insane for another while anyway

Looks nice, I have those wheels too and like them.

I was told they are Supercharger wheels, but dont know if that is correct.

Cheers, Jerry

My rear lights are from a SC so now I have matching wheels as well - the fact it's a diesel is neither here nor there really

2006 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Cairns Blue

Very nice looking vehicle. Everyone is different of course. I would never have ordered the chrome myself if buying new but having bought a dark blue 2006 I am delighted with the chrome. Looks good on black and dark blue. Best Cheers
