Major D3 Revamp - COMPLETED PICTURES (updated 13th November)

Morning all how we doing?

Well I'm a little excited, dropped my D3 off on Sunday for a major overhaul. This is her as she currently stands:

Over the next two weeks it's having:

- Full wrap in Hexis Gloss White including plastics being flattened, sprayed and then wrapped
- D4 L.E.D rear lights
- L.E.D bulb upgrade to sidelights/number plate lights
- De-tango front headlights
- D4 style front grill in gloss black (courtesy of Greg {Beanie} off of hear. A big thank you for fitting it in!)
- Wheel refurb in Gloss Black
- New Gloss back badges
- Gloss Black side Grill
- Calliper refurb
- Full clear recovery low profile L.E.D lightbar fitted to roof.


Feel like a little kid again and can't wait to collect and see the difference!

Dan

The whole process is being documented by MCC who are doing the transformation so will be sure to post them all up!

I'm dead excited to see the finished product. The vehicle is split between my personal car and also a support vehicle for my business (coaching) hence the recovery light bar going on the roof etc.

It's cost a fair bit but the Disco is the first car I've had in years that I honestly can't see myself changing. I've had 14 odd cars in 5 years and normally get bored after 3-6 months and change. The disco's been with me for 7 months now and I honestly could not think of a single other car/vehicle I would change it for. It's the most practical and enjoyable car I've ever owned. I intend to run it for a year then move it fully into the business and buy myself a new D5 once they are out.

Never selling!

Look forward to that mate!

As I mentioned above really appreciate you being able to fit it in at such short notice. Everyone should know how you suffered backlash from the SWMBO to help out a fellow disco'er!

Had the recovery lightbar test fitted to the roof today. Being installed by Black Ice specialists in car auto electronics. They've got to go away and adjust one if the mounting brackets as its being mounted via the roof rails to keep everything off the paint work. Plus can't be installed until the roof is wrapped so not tll Friday.

Feel like I'm 10 again with flashing lights on the roof and a control panel in the cab with lots of switches and buttons. Recommend it to anyone!

All plastics have now been removed and in the process of being flatted off and then sprayed. Actual wrapping begins tomorrow! So excited, will keep updated with pics.
