Need ideas to upgrade the look of my 07 HSE
I recently had to get new tires for the LR3...decided to get the Michelin Latitudes because I was getting a little tired of replacing my Pirellis every year. While the michelins are great for ride and have served me well off road (so far)' they leave much to be desired in the "manliness" factor. My disco is looking a little too stock these days.
So while we're on the topic of discussing the exterior bits of my D3, I'm wondering what subtle things I can add to my disco to bring back the rugged look. since it's my everyday car, nothing over the top but it is my offroad fun car on the weekends, too. I have Thule roof racks for my bikes, and while it helps, the racks are noisy so I keep them off most of the time. I kinda wish the D3 had the spare tire on the back like the old discos. Helps fill out the flatness back there...
Any ideas?

The cheapest upgrade of course would be that piece of A4 paper on the rear number plate

I was thinking about the ladder but not sure I'd ever use it. I usaully just stand on the back tire ot the tailgate to access whatever load I have on the roof. How is it fitted? Do you have to drill into the body panels?2013 LR4 HSE lux | Santorini Black | 5.0 V8

Shame the matching part for the front number plate isn't available
