Well, they were until Saturday morning!

It's looking good there Tom. I'd love a set of those wheels!

Oddly, I was on that site until a few seconds ago!

I'd love some, but they're a bit too rich for me I'm afraid

2016 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini Black

Hi Peter, so far I've only been on dry tracks and a field. I've used 18" ATR's on my D3 and they were great off-road, as are the 19"s, but the extra sidewall on the 18"s give a little more confidence, especially on stony/rocky terrain.

Further "de-blinging" is scheduled for this Saturday. The silver roof rails are being swapped for black ones.

One suggestions for you LT: I got rid of those slightly tacky "SDV6" badges that fill the hole left by the vacant indicator with these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Disco...2088329108

You might want to look at replacing those, much-nicer-than-the-SDV6-but-still-bright-silver-and-out-of-place Landmark badges? You could try one out on Saturday if you like.

Once LT's got the all black colour keyed look sorted

, here's roughly what I'm hoping the Aintree Green will be looking like:

(just change the wheels for diamond cut and tail lamps for the earlier LED's and that's virtually it

)

Getting them working would have been great, but I'm not keen to modify anything on the wiring!

With the heavy smoke to the plastic, they just look like subtle trim and blend right in with the dark green - they'd be perfect with the black on yours.

I did wonder if LR hadn't just taped up the wiring inside the wing.

I like that Aintree Green photo.

You and me both.

I see his website is still up to date.

Haven't heard his ranting on any forums though recently.
