Paintwork looks really clean.

Black S/Cs are a sign of immaculate taste by the way. Wink

Personally I'd be removing the nudge bar and the light guards, but each to their own.

Black s/c = close to perfection
Light guards = several steps away from perfection
Nudge bar = big leap from perfection

Land Rover never get build quality perfect, but the design of the L322 has been rightly described as iconic, probably mainly due to the simplicity of its lines. All the extra suff that gets bolted or stuck on detracts from this.

In my humble opinion! Wink

Ps, spotless condition though, bodywork and leather look great.

PDFs, is that a sheep in your door? Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

Nope, no plans to remove any bits! I have no idea how long the various bits have been on there, and in my experience removing bolt-on bits applied by a previous owner has just led to faffing, bolts shearing off and complaints from me re. the marks left behind! I can't honestly say I'd have specced the extras, but I don't hate them so much that they have to go. Yet! I might change my mind though. The rear cages around the lights were missing half their bolts, but I can't take them of without removing all the stuff at the front as well. I like the spots, though - they're staying even if I take all the plastic off!

The paintwork and interior are really clean, very pleased with them. The car's only done 44k miles, and the whole lot was prepped and Supagarded by the dealer - mainly because I said I didn't want a black one or a pale interior, so he had to do something to persuade me that it wouldn't look like a shed within a week. Wink

Well spotted - that is indeed a sheep in the door. Very Happy

What's the button in front of the cigarette lighter, LPG?

I agree regarding removing accessories, I tried to remove my mud guards, but discovered that I would need to fill the holes left behind and re-paint the scuffed paint where they had been in contact with the body.

No, spotlights.

Removing accessories is a pain in the bum, you're right. I don't like them that much, but I really don't hate them enough to go to the trouble of removing them.

It's great that we all have different tastes, and if you like them keep them.

Personally, I think those spots and nudge bar are about as welcome as adding this...
