Discovery 3/4/B4 XXV

Well I am surprised at how my Disco has transformed in such a short period of time!

did not realise it has done so much changing!

it started out as a high spec SE bought from Hull! with some arches added almost straight away, hated the black plastic!

it then got interior RSE and wireless headphone upgrades installed with rear audio points

it then got the boot handle colour code upgrade and reversing camera

Click image to enlarge


it got a Narppy style grill to brighten its face up a bit!

Click image to enlarge


It had the normal failure of the intercooler hose so got these to resolve it long term!



it then got the fast road intercooler to address low down torque



It also received its De-cat shortly after to improve power delivery

it then got a D4 rear bumper colour coded upgrade

then she got a younger look by going to a 2010-2013 D4 front end and custom grill

Click image to enlarge


it got monster 6 pots calipers and rear complete vent D4 brakes fitted with braided hoses.



new set of Wheels from a FFRR in 22 inch size that fill the wells!

and then became as she is the first 2014- conversion floating about with full operating mirrors and limo tint to finish her looks off.

still a few jobs to do to really complete this project, what you guys think, good finished look?

what would you think she is worth value wise as she stands?

Looks good Robo but its still a D3 at heart so whatever that year is worth thats how much it is worth.. but the top end of any D3 value.

Wish mine looked that good ! I have enough trouble keeping it clean.

RSE might need to be something I should do.

Had it in the D2, but kids weren't old enough to appreciate it.

the 3.0ltr engine is on the cards maybe with a smart twin turbo hack via a friend maybe to get dual SDV6 performance on the 2.7 management system!, just to do it and get a better pull from the lump, stick with manual as had my fill of auto boxes failures from Land Rover and BMW's

anyone from the trade willing to give me an idea of £value on her for reference?

Robbo770 transformation

Robbo770, very impressive transformation from picture 1 to picture 12.
Obviously, you've upgraded much more than just the look of the Disco, but the changes that we can see make a big difference. Great work....

Nice conversion Robbo really like the wheels first time i have seen them on a D3.

The value of it is around £9500/10000 trade in. If you sold it privately its only worth what somebody is willing to pay, unfortunately the upgrades don't guarantee a higher price. Privately i would expect it to sell for anywhere between £11000/13000.

13000,!!!

seen worse cases sold for that, have been offered in excess of 15,500 for it as it is and knocked it back, its basically all new running gear and body work, so no I think thats way off the mark I am Afraid...

If £17,000 was shown in cash would probably let her go and start all over again on another clean motor to repeat with custom tweats right from the onset now I know every inch of these motors Thumbs Up

Fair play if that's what is being offered. Personally I would be driving the guy who offered 15k straight to the bank and depositing his money Thumbs Up

Good luck if you decide to sell I'm sure there will be interest on here also Whistle

An amazing transformation and a beautiful looking disco. Not normally a fan of blue vehicles but that looks Thumbs Up

What's the deal with that silver and black treadplate on the rear bumper? It looks so much nicer than my black plastic one. Can you buy that as an individual part?

Cheers
James
