| Buying A 2009 Disco, What Accseories Should I Get? |
|
hi guys, my dad just got his new company car list, and on it is the new disco new range rover, and sport, as well as some bmws, mercs jags ect.
hes a board manger for a hallage firm(btw)
well i manged to wittle him down to the rr disco and jag xj 
i imagen he will go for the disco, everyone else has jags ect.
so he basicly gets £70,000 for the car.
is it possable to ge tthe range topping disco and accsesories for £70k
so my question is, what accesories should he opt for,
he wants to do some off roading
so he will defently get the bull bar, lights light gards. underbody protection and side steps.
whta else shall he get, its got to look executive too
so i guess black with the silver accents on the vents and wing mirrors.
inside we want a very good sound system as it will be used alot, around 50,000 miles a year, over 2 years
also in additon to the websites accesories, we would like tv screens in the headrests
also does the 2009 model have aux as a option or as standard, as this is a big thing for us.
i dont think we need bootliners or anything.
but we just need it to look as exeutive as poosable, but still mean for the offroading
what do you reccomened
btw the discovery is my favorate car EVER 
i also saw on google about overfitch rrs, can this be done to the disco, ?
i look foword to your replies:D
oh my dads 50
sorry for my bad spelling, im dislexic. or so they say, and im sat wierd on my bed Help My Dad Decide!

For £70k you could probably get 2.......
If going off-road, also get the rear diff-lock (e-diff).

For 70k, get the lot, and there's money left for a spare set of wheels and tyres for off-roading, and some equipment also (jetboil, air jack, ropes etc)  Silver TDV6 HSE
Pepper White Cooper S Convertible
Old English White MGB GT
Ex Military 109 Series 2a Soft Top

With 70 grand to spend - I'd certainly keep the original wheels & tires for off-road, and get dad to invest in some nice 22 inch chrome wheels for street use.
These would look good with the chrome mirror caps, chrome roof rails, aftermarket chrome grill, chrome tubular running boards, chrome handles, chrome tail gate handle, chrome front and rear diffs, chrome transfer case and chrome glove box interior.
I think for 09 they are also doing a chrome plated TDV6 engine, so worth checking that as an option.
West Coast Customs can fit a 42" plasma screen with THX Certified surround-sound (chromed) in the rear, along with a Wii Chrome.
And for that ultimate luxury, the Brown Corporation can provide an in car rest-room facility for your Disco 3

That's not available in chrome yet, but you could ask!
PS Aux (iPod) option is standard, and is located on the rear of the center console, next to a spare 12v power outlet. 08 LR3 SE - 02 D2 SE7
Porsche 911 (03 996) - Porsche Boxster (99 986)
03 MINI Cooper S - gone but not forgotten!

Don't forget if it is a company car list, then the employee buys the car at list price and the leasing company take the discount 
Also the employee has no say over where the car is bought.
