My D3 has changed :)
Earlier this Year after having my d3 a year (with snorkel and off road tyres) I had decided to sell although the market was not too great to get what I had hoped for SO I thought what the heck lets remove snorkel and spend some cash due to the fact it has never let me down. 1 month and a few thousand later it is finished .
I have changed wheels, grill, tailgate handle, arches and then added Styling pack, tinted windows, mirror caps, chrome door handles and spoiler. Also changed multi height tow bar for detachable and removed Jonhson height rods. Thanks to all that helped with technical info, exchanging parts, buying my old parts etc.. Thanks

sweet
good external transformation
any changes internal?
a question tho.. the front doors have anti bump rubbers added and I can see the use (especially on the wifes side ) but the rear ones seem superfluous by location, don't the wheel arches hit anything first?It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

all standard internal and under bonnet as happy with those areas yes never thought that before changing arches i'll have to make sure rear passengers are more careful now

Unfortunately I had to purchase colour coded arches, tailgate handle and mirror caps when I took the styling pack (which only comes java black) and spoielr (primered) to paint sprayer he said with the texture of black plastic trim even ever so slight, the final result of painting them could look great or terrible. So I didnt take a risk

Absolutely awesome
The only suggestion I'd make, and it is only a suggestion, do you not fancy chroming the air intake vent to match the door handles?
