OOOOOOPPPPPPPPsssssssss i havent even picked it up yet and im in trouble lol

i will leave it alone for now and post some pics and see what people think,
i just wanted to make it look a bit differant because i thought it looked a bit bland,but i will take notice of what people say!!!

i suppose a set of side steps is out of the question too

Side steps are fine; they were available OEM.

Lots of people prefer the look without but mine has them and I like it, plus they are actually useful. If you use them then you don't keep brushing against the seat bolster causing wear when you get in and out.

And before you ask - we disapprove of chrome mirror caps as well

Keep it classic - great lines great look. All original is the way to go on pre facelift cars.

im all hot and bothered lol i did order some side steps today so they will have to go on, as for the mirror caps thought they looked a bit naf so didnt bother thank god ..well only one more sleep then i can go pick her up Happy times
P.S i supose chrome door handles are out of the question too

Great colour Paul

Side steps are great for other family members (although you have to tell them how to do it) but not much good (along with mudflaps) if you are heading off road.

Purists will frown also at chrome door handle covers (zealots!). I have been trying to decide what to do with mine as I either repaint or cover. Three options chrome, black or original grey. Chrome tends to look good on black or grey/silver cars, but I think the grey covers would look better on our red cars.

However if you want to bling your car - you go ahead, just take all your pictures before you do it and post up your car No-one will ever know .....but at resale time folk will look at the bling and wonder why (Carlos Fandango and all that!) e.g. what are you trying to distract me from? .

Don't listen to those people who say it's your car and you should do what you like with it. Listen to us sensible folk who have taste No chrome unless LR put it there !

Don't mess around with the original styling - it's close to perfection as it was!
Don't be brainwashed by all this talk of "facelifting" and "upgrading", as in my humble opinion, all they do is basterdise Reitzel's perfect modern reinterpretation of the classic range rover.
I love the fact that I have an original BMW masterpiece, and I hope you come around to the same way of thinking.
Best of luck with it anyway whatever you do

Have the chrome handles and I think they look ok but my car is silver as for chrome any where else id say don't do it save the chrome and bling for the hummer drivers ........
I'm already thinking of taking my chrome handles off and going fir the brushed steel ones as I think it may look better "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"
