Bit the bullet and faclifted
A couple of months ago after stumbling across robbo thread I decided to go for it. So iv been keeping an eye on fleabay and bit by bit got hold of all the bits needed. Alot of Internet research to find out as much info as poss. And last night I decided to go for it I would say total time was about 6 hours to to do, well I had allready done the wiring a few weeks ago in prep so probably a full days work. I'm very happy with it. I'm keeping all the old parts I think so that if I trade it I can put back to standard with relative ease. Thankyou to all that put posts on this forum it helped alot.

That's a nice jo you've done there
Oddly, I seem to be going the other way with mine - DISCOVERY replaced with LAND ROVER and if I can find myself a pair of pre-facelift LED tail lamps for a sensible price, I'll be happy
