My Discovery....
.... is a bog standard D3 SE in Stornoway grey with the original alloys D3 rear lights and orange indicators in the front lights.
I will not be changing its appearance in any way. Does this make me odd?
Seems very fashionable on here to fit D4 rear light only which gives half D3 half D4.
I'll get my coat.

No............but each to their own
Most of these mods can be reversed very easily and the cars put back to standard.
I also suspect that only D3 forum users really know if a car has been modified. There are a lot of D3 cars out there.

As Charliecloud says, each to their own, I actually like the look of an early D3 in standard form Cheers Ian

Not many comments, have I offended people with upgrades?

I'm not offended. I have changed quite a few things on mine over 5 years, but still like the original look.
Think the mods help to keep the interest though.

I like the look of a nice well kept older standard car , mines pretty basic ,but as mentioned i do have the D4 rear lights simply because of the bulbs blowing on the originals , Still got the old ones to put back on if she ever goes always get your money back for em and a simple change

I was about to chip in and say that my D3 is standard outside... but it has accessory colour coded arches, black LR oval badges and 09MY clear side repeaters. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

If I was going to change anything then I think smoke side repeaters would be it, oh and possibly a colour coded boot handle thingy.
I did change the sorry looking LR front and rear badges for new ones and they turned out to be green and silver not gold like the originals but they go nicely on a grey car I think.
