Looks cracking mate. Needs the right indicators on though, and you don’t even need any tools for that job.

Much better after a good wash and putting the original side repeaters on.

Nice looking car there sandman but those wheels have to go me thinks. They look more suited to a Mondeo or focus ST. Not disrespecting the car, just my personal opinion. |

I’d like to find some LED bulbs to go in the original side indicators, to get the immediate on/off like the rest of them...

They’re Range Rover Sport wheels but although I don’t mind them I would rather have standard L322 wheels. It’s a shame as these are like new and are completely unmarked with new tyres on them. I’ll be keeping my eye on eBay though in case a bargain comes up. |

What’s the spare wheel? Might show you what it had originally.

Keep an eye on the for sale section on here, theres always wheels coming up for sale by other forum members. Usually priced well and genuine ones whereas eBay they sell a lot of fakes on there. And keep enjoying the fattie, like you I've not long been a first new owner and just loving it more and more every day. |

Something I only noticed after looking though other members car threads is the side vents on my car.

In your photos, those look like the standard ones, I believe the colour is called 'Brunel Grey'. Can't see your bonnet vent, if the vent is original that will probably be the same colour as the 'side vents' |

The Brunel grey 3 slots grill was used on the 3.6L TDV8s up to 2010 MYdespite the facelift the year before. Yours is a 3.6L (3 slots grille, traditional gear shifter vs rotary one) The new 'cheese grater' style came with the 2010 4.4L TDV8 introduction until the end of production in 2012 - they were body-coloured on the last year of production. Interestingly, your car seems to have been '2012ed' with (apparently on these pics - hard to tell) black background rear lights, potentially black background headlights and the front grill surround has been painted body colour (should be Brunel grey). All in all, it makes it even nicer indeed. Cheers l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l Current RANGE ROVER Vogue 4.4L SDV8 - 2013 - Indus Silver, on Almond.

That explains it. The brochure I have is for the 2010MY with the 3.6l TDV8 but I guess the photos in the brochure are of the petrol model and that’s why they all show the cheese grater vents.

If you shoot a close up of the lights, front and rear, or post the original full-size version of the pics above, I'll be able to tell you. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Thanks, here are my lights in full detail. You can also see the grill surround has been painted. Ignore the dirt, black cars are a nightmare to keep clean!
