Had mine done twice over the last 10 years. Bit dirty in all this wet weather today but comes back up a treat (and no one washes it except me) "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"
Current Ride: D4 XS Commercial Baltic Blue SDV6 fully loaded with heated everything
Track Days: BMW E36 M3 Evolution MY 1996 (3.2 Litre 377 BHP sat in 1,250 Kgs of car, with a pro safety cage and some serious braking power)

In fairness, mine does get washed - when it gets serviced. I guess it helps them to find the door handles so they can drive it on to the ramp... Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Kilovolt - your truck would look good with late D4 tail lights, the black surround would go well. I on the other hand have a Firenze red late D4 with the black tail lights and I think mine would look better with the earlier D4 tail lights. I’m just saying….

If SWMBO finds out half of what I spend on vehicles I may end up sleeping in it "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

And some even paint the lettering on the tire walls ,Now that is anal ,
Nowt wrong with a clean car but going down the concourse route with a Land Rover is just wrong on every level ,
If a person wants a pavement princess it shouldnt have a green oval on it .

Cannot understand the reasons as to why to do that when for a little more work it could have been significantly better, and then not to apply any wax or sealant, total waste of time.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
