Facelifting the old girl: DONE! With Pics

Ok, she's not that old, 4.5 years old and 87,000 miles but, decided that if I am to keep her another 6 months, maybe more, I'd go for the Supercharged grille and vents to spruce it up.

Got the vents, Grille on it's way, hopefully by the weekend will get it all fitted. Will post pics when it's done. Discovery 4 HSE

You rarely see a Tonga Green with SC vents and grilles. I'm hoping it will look good rather than odd. Discovery 4 HSE

Vogue, I read that on the RAVE worksheet but thanks for pointing it out anyway.

When I do the work I may document it for other readers so its clear and simple, loads of people will do these jobs.

Now, do we think I should go the whole hog and get some nice 20" alloys? Discovery 4 HSE

Ken, MTR's would be great for the weekend but not sure I'd want to live with them on all the time. I'm not planning on any G4-esque eventing at the moment! Discovery 4 HSE

It's all done: Looks great.

Right, got this done today and very pleased I bothered, it's really freshened up the look of the car and made me feel proud of it again.

Here's some pics from today, I'm going to do a 'How -To' thread for future users in the Maintenance Section.

You now need to either match the grill badge to the rest of the car or Vice versa Thumbs Up
