D3s should look like D3s. Only Saxo owners should play around with the looks.

Very fair comment!
I recon my original Bonnati Grey D3 was the pinnacle of the D3/D4 looks. It has been a constant slide downhill since. Christ, they even painted some D4s up as fridge-frezers and gave them white stitching on the seats and people still bought them!Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Ha, I did think of this a while ago and you spurred me on. It was a 'well if he can do it so can i moment' Do you have any fully finished pics of it? I wont be able to tell if it looks any good untill its sprayed up. Looks so different on different coloured cars.
I was thinking of wrapping it in carbon?????? ive been sanding my fingers to the bone to try and get a flawless finish cause i want it to look factory if that makes sense. But not being per fee with body work its hard.
As for being a saxo chav, fair point, but i love meddling, but only if i can pull it off. Thats why im asking for approval on here.
Ill spend another few hours fettling and then primer it up when i get time and report back with another picture.
Thanks for the input guys.
