England 2015 Range Rover SVAutobiography SDV8 Loire Blue
Disco 3

Finally bought a D3 HSE the other day...

Thought ide share the beginnings of the few modifications done so far...
Am awaiting a few parts back from the paint shop (thanks to Dan @ Duckworths for supplying)

I have removed the orange from the headlights (thanks to all the info readily available on here) But:-

A, i did not like the chrome strip inside, nor the orange reflector when fitted back in (although was much better than the chrome strip IMHO) so i made a clear/white strip and fitted that with an amber marker light in the NAS hole...

B, i wanted to take the eye away from the square "ness" of the light unit by colour coding the mat silver parts inside, tried 4 types of paint, brush, can and finally settles for carbon fiber wrap of all things! (had some lying around in the workshop.

I had to fit new bulb holders for the NAS side markers and because i wanted to use the iradium bulbs from a Supercharged FF (L322) as i like the bluey tinge to the bulb when unlit i also had to wire in a replacement indicator bulb holder too (modified the two bulb holders off a broken D4 rear light i replaced for a customer last week)

I am awaiting wheelarches and rear bumper back from paint and a Piano & Leather steering wheel to go with all the interior parts i have just had piano'd and refitted... Will post more pics soon...
