I'll post photos as I go along; here is how it looked when I first bought it;


Here it is with new genuine 22" Overfinch Tigers;


Going in for colour coding of grey trim on Monday, I'll post more photos once it's done.

United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HST Java Black

Just picked the motor up from being colour-coded, I'll post better pictures after one of my servants has cleaned, polished and waxed the car.

I've got some clear indicator lenses to replace the orange ones and I'm in two minds whether to change the grill to an HST or not...

The more I look at it, the more I'm inclined to agree.

For all the bits I had done it would cost £650, although because I'm a business partner it only cost me materials.

Hi SPX yours is exactly the same as mine. Colour coded I put the on hst grille I like it, I have just bought the black land rover centre caps for wheels and one for tailgate. Nice colour when clean. Mines not. Also fitted LED bulbs to no. plate / side lights and all inside these make a difference. Also put on 2012 rear lights love these.

Very nice , just needs done clear side indicators.

I'm undecided on whether to colour code mine or not, however yours looks nicely done. Thumbs Up 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography Cool

Fitted a set of clear indicators the day after I took the last photo, sometimes the little touches make a big difference.

Final two mods will probably be to update the tail lights and fit an HST grille.

Rear facelift lights make a big difference IMO.

Here's a pic of my 2007 RRS rear ( no, the spilt fluids are not from my RRS!)

Looks great SPX. I think you are right to go for an HST grille in this case. The only bit of your car
that I wasn't sure about was the all silver standard grille. I think the HST style will look better on the silver car. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Thanks for all the comments, I'm very aware that there's a fine line between sensible modifications and terrible chavness hence why I'm doing it all in stages.

I owned a D3 before buying my RRS and this is in a different league, I'm really enjoying ownership right now.

Thanks also to all contributors on this forum, I've gleaned a lot of knowledge from here.
