Colour change is a little more me..
After wanting a Discovery for a long time I managed to get a nice 2007 HSE close to me and at the right money. Thing is it was silver. Not really my colour. I always thought they looked better in dark colours.
As I'm known for dressing as Batman for charity events and just for fun. I thought why not make my own Batmobile.
Matte black wrap. Detango lights. Side indicators changed. Darkened the rear lights. Changed the 19" wheels to 17.
And that Land Rover badge was just asking to be upgraded...

The good lady Wife says she will kill me if I put fins on this one. She would not even drive this when I had it.
Really wish I had not sold it. New owner has kept it this way...

Ah now see I really like that too I think it's cute ! And to be fair mate you'd need some cahones to drive a smart car anyway so a huge thumbs up from me. Eh also I bet that was a bit of a shock going from a smart car to a disco !! Jarrod

Still less than a respray and easier to change back. Do think it would hold up to off road use.

D3 gone but never forgotten.
