United States 2006 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver
A little Range Rover Story.

So on 11-11-11 I purchased my 1st Rover. Coming from nothing but VW's (17) it was time I made the purchase to my dream car. So that was what happened. Found a 2006 4.4l with 32,000 miles on it. 1 owner, extremely well kept. Traded my 02' Beetle Turbo S in and never looked back...thats a lie. I love the new Beetles haha. But here is a little recap of my Range Rover. Hope you enjoy! Sorry about the quality of pics ahead of time. I'm no pro. Razz

I initially decided on matte white pearl but I really do love the color pink and I sort of just wanted to do it just because....honestly every pink Range I've seen looked like a pile of elephant poop. I genuinely feel with the black/pink combo it doesn't look all that bad. While I was debating color choice my best friends mother passed away from breast cancer. She is a avid cross-fitter/runner/triathloner so she brought it to a few events in support of breast cancer awareness. A few months following my own fathers passed from brain cancer. He laughed every time he saw it and commented how a such a masculine vehicle could still look as good splashed in pink. Now its almost like a sentimental thing. Plus it just makes people smile and that makes me happy. Thumbs Up


This past September I was at a large Volkswagen Audi car show H2Ointernational in Ocean City, MD where a I brought my Range Rover and someone did a little ring around the Range Rover paparazzi video...enjoy.

Great Pics (until the Pink!)

So you've had it wrapped twice, I liked the matt grey look. Does it cost a lot to wrap it? Discovery 4 HSE

The wrap costs about $3,000. I only use 3M because the vinyl is very durable and easy to work with around edges where as some other companies like Avery & Hexis are a little tough to use and don't bond around edges like 3M. For 2014 3M introduced a few new color shades and I already have my eye on something new. 3M matte pine green metallic.

I like the pink Thumbs Up I think your right that the black sets it off.

Pink is a huge no-go here after a 'celebrity' did hers

Paul, what size are the wheels and tyres?

I see they are Cooper Zeon LTZ's, they are a great looking tyre...

Sadly I can't fit them as they don;t have the right speed rating for either a TDV8 or a 5.0 SC.

They are only S rated, which is up to 112mph, which is no good if your car reaches 150mph+ Big Cry Discovery 4 HSE
