Lovely looking car, personally speaking I really like the sidesteps. Deffo get the clear indicators and rear lights, alloys look great.

Have you thought about colour-coding it?

Yes is the simple answer!

The list of upcoming mods are

Java door handles
Crystal/smoked side repeaters
Smooth nappa steering wheel
Change the adaptive side bulbs for whiter/bluer ones
LED sidelights (already bought from hids4u)

Can someone show me the difference between the near rear clusters and my current ones? RRS gone

Love the wheels, best wheels for the RRS IMO.

I've just ordered some Java door handles and some black Hawk side repeaters. ..

There was me hoping I was not going to spend a shed load modifying this one  RRS gone

They look the same as my OEM Discovery 3 ones?

My old 2008 Subaru required regular attention to keep it looking good.. The paint was that bad.

The TDV8 is due a claybar cleanse and Swissvax wax once the temp gets a bit warmer RRS gone

Well there has been a couple of updates to the old gal in the last few months...so I'm updating my thread accordingly..

One was down to my reckless driving resulting in a new set of alloys needed...

so I took the opportunity to take a different direction on the style (after following a 2011 S/C a few weeks prior and loving the new alloy design) I plumped for a set of diamond cut gloss black 22's.
