That is the best modification I've made to mine and now can't imagine a car without something similar.
Although as I feared this weeks service and MOT proved costly, but I still love it (just!) and haven't resorted to looking at Volvo's like I did last year Andy

Last year was the timing belt, from a certain main dealer so that was about £1,250 and this year was £1,000 from an independent.
Much as I hate to say it, given it included new rear brakes and front suspension arms it probably wasn't as bad as I thought, although the MOT advisories of corroded rear brake pipes are a worry for the future.
Anyway, try not to worry, mine is a 2010 on 93,000 miles.Andy

Hi,
didn't do much over the last few days, but this is the sum of all it had done over the last 2 years:
LR Underbody protection
LR Body Side Mouldings
LR Nudge/A Bar
LR Driving Lamps
LR Raised Air Intake
LR Front and Rear Lamp Guards
LR Rubber Mats and Loadspace Mat
LR Plastic Wheel Arches (to avoid scratches off roading)
A/T tyres Cooper Zeon LTZ
Second OEM set of 19' wheels for winter tyres
Adjustable lifting rods
Prospeed Rear Ladder
Interior lead lights
Lurking on eBay new LR parts can come up at time at a 1/3 and 1/5 of retail price. The Air intake was £110.00 from Mantec versus £490.00 or the Driving Lamp kit £199.00 vs £520.00. They are otherwise well over priced...but nice.
Future plans includes to fit a nice Terrafirma Rock Slide that is waiting in the garage. I am also planning to remove the LR Body Side Mouldings and the A Bar.
Wishing list has on: silver 18' MuddTech4x4 wheels, Muddtech4x4 Magnetic Body Protection (http://www.mudtech4x4.com/en/magnetic-plates/), a roof rack if it will be needed (I like FrontRunner or alternatively Prospeed and the original Land Rover, both very pricy). Things that I like but currently would be completely useless for me and not justifiable from a money point of view are: an hidden winch ( I am sure I can find a way to get stuck and use it), FrontRunner Auxiliary Tank and a Spare Wheel Rack
I attach some pictures of the car at different stages.
Ciao
Nic
