A few mods

Had the Disco a week so it was time to update the interior lights. I bought the LEDs recommend from advanced motor factors and boy are they bright, I've got more on order as I underestimated how many was required.

Also popped in LED reverse lights which are so much better than the standard effort which were far superior to the DSs with LEDs.

Got sill plates on order from Lockwood, hopefully they arrive today and will get them fitted tomorrow.

Looking to get roof rails, I don't need a roof rack but I think the Disco looks the part with them on. Can't make up my mind if should go black or silver as a contrast.

It's the extended I'm after, can they be bought as individuals? Or is the extended a single unit?


Here's the LED interior lights, a massive improvement





The rest of the bulbs arrived today so will get that done tomorrow, no sill plates though.

Sill plates arrived this morning so they were fitted along with the rest of the LEDs.

Rear


Front


Also added this, sticker from the heritage Defender. Genuine LR part had a look on eBay couldn't find a good replica, a quick PM to Dan@duckworths and to my surprise he has a few in stock before LR restrict them. Now they ain't cheap and I know I must have more money than sense as they are £45 inc VAT Embarassed I like the look, it's better than the SE badge, which mines came without.

Shot boet!

And how many do you need to replace all the interior ones?

I'm only asking because I don't have my D4 yet Smile

I haven't done them all, I left the 3rd row and glovebox.

1x Glovebox
2x Footwell
2x Puddle
3x centre counsel
3x 2nd row
2x 3rd row
1x boot
2x number plate

I think I've covered them all.
