Matter of taste, but if you choose the right ones they can really enhance the look. However, the wrong ones will look crap..case in point my car. Looked Censored with the copy supercharged items in chrome, much better with the new ones..
Trouble is, once you change something it's hard to stop! Laughing

In 2003, Autobiography translates into the original purchaser specified something customised - and looking at that interior, I can guess what it was Very Happy

Which grille & vents are you thinking of ?

Are the side vents colour coded ? - kind of hard to tell - they certainly look very subtle against the car colour.

IMHO the mesh Supercharged style looked good for a while & I changed mine - but now the L405 is out, the more solid look seems more modern again on the sides.

Looks nice BTW - I've always been a fan of those wheels, but they seem pretty rare Thumbs Up

The original/existing front and side grilles are both body colour ,Bonnati. Im tempted but wouldnt know what 'brand' to go for as there seems to be loads.
I was told the wheels are from a 2010 Autobiography but tbh i dont know Whistle

Looks to be in immaculate condition (as does the Aston).
But are you sure it's a genuine Autobiography?
They were a limited edition in 2003 / 2004 and only available in Silver or Black, see this link:

http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic40798.html

What does the logbook say?

I think Autobiography LE was the only Autobiography at that time.
LE standing for Limited Edition.

My V5 says "RANGE ROVER AUTOBIOG LE A". Not sure what the "A" on the end means.

What does your V5 say?
