Hi All, i am new here and recently purchased a java black RRS TDV6. Its crying out for a facelift and a conversion.
My favourite ones are listed below but of course there are so many others like Exclusive and Barugzai, although i feel these are perhaps a little OTT for me. Please let me know your thoughts....please see photos in my gallery to help you with your votes....sorry i dont know how to insert photos in the body of this email...
Autobiography upgrade
Bespoke
HST
Kahn
Overfinch
Arden

The guys at Bespoke do some amazing inetriors and exteriors. If I am spending 5K i may as well get somethiong that stands out....but I am still undecided between Bespoke and Autobiography upgrade....looking forward to your comments.
Thanks

Martin,

Have to say Autobiography all the way . HST is also good but doesn't give you the new headlights.

Cheers


Guy 2006 RRS S/C CONSTANTLY under modification...
1994 RRC 4.2l not LSE sadly gone but not forgotten
LR Defender 300Tdi - affectionately know as "The Black Beast"

Thanks Guy, I am hearing you....Autobiography is subtle and refined and will look like a MY2012, but I keep looking at the Bespoke kit and it grabs me....very different, maybe a little OTT, but an eye catcher.....
Cheers

This is personal preference but I would has liked to see the option of "None" in this poll and I would choose that.

Have to agree with Myfirstrrs

I prefer the classy prestigious unmodded look too - autobiography/HST at a push but anything else reminds me of boy racer halfords corsa/saxos parked in town centre car parks on a Saturday night  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Purely Bias but the HST (then the autobiography).

Autobiography with some decent wheels. I'm liking Onyx (is that right) at the moment.

Hi All,

Interesting comments, I think reading through other threads that the Autobiography is the most liked one...and yes with the right set of subtle alloys...think it is the Overfinch Onyx that I like...will have to check, although the Kahn Cosworths are nice too, but silver not black...

Please keep the comments coming....HST is nice too with silver and black paint......

I will at least do the 2012 facelift conversion as I prefer the narrower smaller grille....

Thanks guys

cheers

Ooops !!

sorry correction, its the Overfinch 22" Tigers that I like....understated, subtle and look great on a black RRS.

Thanks

....its all about personal choice....I know, but good to hear your comments

Voting Update,

After 14 votes:

Autobiography - 71%
HST 21 %
Kahn 7%

I probably should have added....a No change voting option..

Thanks

Obviously slightly biased, but I think the HST kit on the pre 2010 models looks the best, I always feel slightly uneasy about people making the vehicle look like the facelift when it's not that generation.

Overfinch second.

I'd go with Autobiography too, even though mine has HST. Mainly due to the resale factor. Many more buyers out there for a AB RRS than a bespoke one. Even though lots may say 'that looks great', they'd never actually buy one. It's similar to my Orange RRS - everyone says wow, but would still have a black one !

Went to buy the wife a new Fiesta. They have them in this green/yellow colour, which looks great. Wife said wow, but I'm not being seen in one. Asked the salesman if its their best selling colour, answer, NO. He said everyone likes it, but hardly anyone wants to buy one.

Since me and my Wife prefer the less popular colours, but she don't want to be noticed too much, we opted for a Focus in Metallic Brown. rare but nice, but won't be as easy to resell as a white one !  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !

Thanks for the comments so far all.....It seems Autobiography still has the lead...
Will confirm voting numbers shortly.....

I will keep this post up for another week or two to catch others' comments....

Cheers
Martin

Hi All,

With only a disappointing 24 votes....(thank you to all that have voted so far) the current stats are:

Autobiography - 70%
HST - 25%
Kahn - 5%


the rest "0" !!

Personally I love the look of the Bespoke body kit, wheels and interiors, however I am concerned about resale and looking like a "boy - racer" !! The Autobiography is a lovely understated yet classy look....

On te other hand, the purists will just say...."leave your car alone"....and thats a subjective view, however the early RRS's could do with a bit of updating if you cant afford a 2010 onwards...

I have left the voting options open (i think....well I am new) and we'll see if we get any more votes.....
In the meantime I will be saving my pennies (dollars) to get my Autobiography parts.....shipping will be a bloody expensive nigtmare getting parts to Sydney....

All the best all and thanks for reading my post.

cheers
Martin
