Gullwing Modification to Rear Windows
Hi all
I'm wanting to modify the rear windows on my D4, making these Gullwing Access Panels. I have only seen this done once before (And not sure by who or where), and was wondering if anyone knows of someone doing it out here in the UK, or anyone willing to take on this project?

James is their service guy who is awesome and very knowledgeable about all things that Guava did. Basically they were vehicle exporters to many dealerships throughout the world and they often had highly modified vehicles in the show room. Unfortunately LR took all this back in house and the service centre (in your picture) was sold to Hunters. James still works there and would be a good person to speak to about the car in question; he knows the forum well. He's off for a couple of weeks I believe so should be back the week after next. If you are in more of a hurry I think Will is still there and he might be able to help. Their phone number is 01483 676063.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

I was down in there a week or so ago for an MOT and some work. James was there, and Will was on holiday. They are both very helpful. I usually deal with Will, but found James great as well.
I believe they are still operating as when they were GUAVA, just under a different name.
They still offer the forum discount, although not as generous as previously. I think its 10% at the moment.

The reason I say, is that the satellite dish on the Disco in the picture is the same as the Defenders on their website.
Worth a punt anyway.

That was Super Awesome - Spoke to Will - He knows the customer who's LR4 it was, and will give him a ring for me, and found out who did it, and pass the information back to me
