Remap I've had bad experience so not doing, what easy mods to engine can I do.
Body mods

you might get full colour coded bumpers, wheel arches, door handles
remap would be very advisable as it makes this brick move in a quite different better way
if not intended no off-road use get nice set of say 10 spoke 20" alloys coated black for stealth look
but you got 18's with AT/2's on so following that tend - sumpl plate from RLD as well as compulsory spare whell protection by RLD as well
side steps can be swapped with tree sliders ....
it looks to have halogen headlights so might go for detangoed Xeon lights as well as MY2014 rear lights
"supercharged" type kind grille would make it stand out as well a bit more
and so on and on

A-Plan got me insurance with Markerstudy with de-cat (not actually fitted yet) and intercooler. No charge for a re-map (when I get round to it) or my V8 brakes either. I haven't told them about the EGRs as they make no real difference - they should be closed under load anyway.
Hopefully I'll get almost as much power as Mikey in the end. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

hmm, the guys at A Plan are good, but if you pop over to Defender 2 forum, Markerstudy are not the favourite company when it comes to claims. So much so that I eventually stayed with Lancaster to stay away from Markerstudy and paid a few quid more ............... only then to find out Lancaster are part of the Markerstudy Group!

Thanks for letting me know. Their policy doesn't seem quite as good as others but I decided it was probably OK.
I had suspicions about them but it's hard to tell sometimes - I'll probably leave it for now and see who else is available next time.Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

Yeah standard 17's. Got some primer and gunmetal alloy wheel spray paint from ebay and that's the end result. Got a set of 19's waiting for the same treatment think it all cost about £40 to do all 4 and my sump plate.
