What Next
Just looking for suggestions on what to do next. This is a list of what I've done so far, I've got a few ideas and I've included a photo as well. It did start out as an 08GS.
Garmin sat nav with D4 surround.
Front fogs.
Cruise control.
Radio steering wheel buttons.
Smooth leather steering wheel.
Sump plate.
2x Lightforce 140's.
Expo rack with 4x Lightforce 170's.
Front and rear light gaurds.
Rock/Tree sliders.
Blackvue.
Limo tints.
Genuine RAI
Aftermarket rear ladder.
Slit charge system.
19" HSE wheels (still waiting to refurb these).
Clear side repeaters.
Think that's it. Remap would be nice also a hidden winch. They may have to wait though till next year. Also some more under body protection maybe.
Anyway what's everyone's thoughts.
Cheers

V8 brake disc upgrade. You need 18" or bigger rims though, your current 17" won't fit. This was one of the best low cost mods I did to my D3.
I also find powerful LED reversing bulbs very useful.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE

Some good suggestions so far.
I've thought about the V8 brake upgrade and would be able to do this once I've fitted my 19's. However the 17's are going to be used for off road use so won't be doing this one. Paddle shift would be fun I think for a bit then I'd just let the auto do it's own thing. Would really like a Sankey but SWMBO would kill me. LED,s I think will be getting done as I could easily hide the cost of these
Also I mist out from my list puddle lights, they've been done.
Got a Parrot unit I'll get round to fitting at some point as well.
Thanks for the suggestions but keep them coming, things that can be easily transferred to a new car if I ever get one

Real LR Ladder & De-Tango
I just new someone would mention the ladder
Only paid £35 for it so happy enough. If I was to change it I'd probably go down the Prospeed route. Front and rear lights are going to stay as is, not a big fan of de-tango.
Yeah a winch is defiantly on the list, just need to start saving for that. Prepare the hidden one though.
Feel free to post photos of your ideas
