Cheers guys!


First thing this morning Michael from CHPR rang my doorbell with a shiny new stornaway grey TDV8 HST.

Michael collected my TDV6 car before I went on holiday, took care of everything whilst I was away (including chasing my slack insurance company) and then delivered on my first day back from hols!

The service from these guys has been spot on, loads of contact and updates as things progressed from order to delivery, I am a very satisfied customer!

I have already the side repeaters for grey smoked units, and changed all teh badges to black ones.

The car was delivered without a TDV8 badge (although is 8.5 spec) not an issue as they are going to send me one through the post, however, I kind of like the "no badge look" and am debating whether to remove the "SPORT" lettering and have only the black Land rover oval.

just can't decide???

Thanks again guys Stornaway Grey/Ebony TDV8 HST, September 3rd

Glad to hear all went well and you are please with it!

TDV8 HST's don't come through with TDV8 on the back, instead they have a proper HST badge that we have to order separately and fit at the point it's cleaned. Looks like it slipped through the net . Will sort one and post to you as soon as it arrives.

Thanks again for your business!

I saw a Java RRS that was totally debadged the other day - even the boot hatch and bonnet, there wasn't a single LR badge or model designator at all - even the wheels had had the centre badges removed. It looked good.
Nice combo P-trax. I looked at changing my TDV8 for the ex demo Stornoway HST on CHPR's forecourt when we were at the meet-up the other week.  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Good to hear, I think just the black LR badges are all you need, seeing as you have a HST as well. For some reason the HST kit only looks good in Stornoway.  Speed Limits! not where I live!

Steve I reckon it's because the grey plastic doesn't look like grey plastic, it looks like body colour plastic on the Stornoway Grey! I'm sorry to say it looks worst on a Java RRS and yet I see so many of them too............ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I'd have to cast a vote for Rimini, as being the best colour for the HST

Stornaway would get my second place vote though

Take all the badges off looks I took all my badges off mine so people would think it was a look a like SC. Well that is until they see my arse drop and off I go. love the way the back drops when you hit the loud pedal.

Seeing your arse drop must be a pretty sight  Speed Limits! not where I live!

I love boobies i love boobies i love boobies cuz i'm a big kid now! (Come on everybody sing with me you know the words!)

definately put the HST badge on. I think it looks slick . What about having:

SPORT
..TDV8
....HST

? Might look good.

just out of interest, what is the correct position to mount the TDV8 badge? I have just ordered one for mine as it didn't come with one fitted.
