The only CC examples I have seen in the UK wre in either Silver or Black. The Black looked OK, but the silver looked too much.
Sorry but can't be much help, its down to personal taste.
Could you not take a photo of your D3 and then 'edit' it in photo shop to give you an idea?
Although it's not green but white it might give you an idea. Doesn't look too good to me though but green might be better. Anyway it's personal taste.

Why is that ? I would think that the darker the color the better it would look... The problem I am having is a picture is good I am just worried once I see it in person I will not like it...
Since you guys do the CC, how hard is it ? how much does it cost ?2006 LR3 HSE Tonga Green

Thanks. No noticeable difference in ride really (testament to the great suspension on the D3), although you have to watch it on potholes, and they're easily kerbed (although the chrome outer rim is replaceable). Not sure how much tyres will cost yet, and there aren't many places that can change a 22" tyre. The wheels cost about £1000 each with tyres.2005 Disco 3 TDV6 7 seater.

No, Kahn just supplied the wheels and tyres. The colour coding was done by the dealer's own bodyshop. Not sure why they didn't do the door handles, although they DID do the handle on the tailgate. Also, they did the rub strips FOC because they realised it would look naff if these were left unpainted.
Maybe I'll get the door handles done at some point in the future...2005 Disco 3 TDV6 7 seater. Leather, DVD, fully colour-coded.

Mr Bling,
Who did your DVD system & how much?
Not seen that postion for screens before. Looks neat & is away from prying eyes. Are they high enough for kids in a booster seat?
