Hello. I like your front bumper. We are looking for a Discovery 3 HSE or SE but not seen that bumper before. Can you help?

Dennisperry,
With regards to the front bumper its part of a body kit 8) 8) which is available from land Rover,in fact if you look up TLO ,Nick the parts manager from Yeovil LR Bow down ,he is selling them for a very reasonable price Very Happy Very Happy
I bought the GS LE in Oct ,they only made 300 of them, it came with the Body Kit on ,So there are a few ways of getting a different look .Buy the Car or buy the Kit!!

tanters,

looking to put on an allumium centre grille with Black badges,but having a problem getting a black badge to

fit the new grille bit Confused Big Cry

There are couple of people on the site hoping for a solution,TLO has been looking,so fingers crossed.

I have black wheel centre caps waiting to go on.

Will do the steering wheel badge & the rear badge all at the same time.

Not sure about Zenons Confused

But do like the D4 rear lights. 8) 8)

Missus does not understand Whistle Yawn

Cheers

Ian

a good alternative name for this site if ever there was one Laughing




Xenons are pretty good and would compliment the new D4 rear ones if you're going that way. I know they are expensive but they're definitely worth it Thumbs Up


Never went for the badge thing as my motor is green anyway but would look good on your own, good idea

Thank you K2Mut, your car looks great. We cant afford a new one so it looks like when we get one (hopefully soon!) it will be my first modification.

United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 Base 7 Seat Manual Buckingham BlueDiscovery 3

K2 really really want to know about the steering wheel stuff

your audio looks the same as mine and Nick has said the steering controls will work - do you get the complete cover with the switches pre-mounted or do you have to cut the apertures out?

did you get the cruise from Nick and is the wiring etc all in place on a base model

how scary is the airbag thing?

looks the DB mate really want to do it!!!

Bought a smooth leather steering wheel from TLO Bow down also cruise & radio switches,Through help on this site I

removed the old wheel after disconnecting the battery & leaving it for 15 -20 mins before working on the

airbag removal,this is pretty straight forward,you will find a link on this site on how to.

Everything is straight forward..just be patient when doing it. Very Happy Very Happy

Brilliant modification,Cruise may have to be enabled,there are guys on this site who can do this for a small fee.

As I have a base radio, my steering wheel controls do volume,the "up & down" select strongest signal & not

next programmed channel, i find this great as when I travel around,i find different stations that are not in my

home area 8) 8)

Hope this helps

Cheers

Ian
