I don't think mine looks too shabby - I'm planning to add a winch bumper (no A bar/bull bar) sans winch, mainly to get some front recovery points and hilift jacking points:



No it isn't leaning. The drive slopes!

yep least ur doesnt have 2oo tdi lights which look like they been punched in for them.


if u own a 200tdi disco with factory standard lights change them for newer one plz , plus u will see something at night.

i have been struggling to make a dessision since i bought my newer disco....do i fit the aftermarket lights i had on my 200 tdi  disco

here's how the old one looked





now i do love those lights.....they are currently sat on the shelf in the garage...


so do i fit them to MING??

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

NO simple enough. they look better with a tight fit minimal bumper . looks well better the way it is

Den I think your right about the 200 those lights they look far better, in fact my Dad wants a set for his 200, but the 300 IMHO looks better with clear indicators and either standard headlamps or early TD5 lheadlamps just looks cleaner I think.

[boss]

you are in no position to judge mate!

[Hightower]

Here's mine.  Nice and simple

I do like those grilles - where do they come from? Am I right in thinking they were fitted as standard to Saudi market Discos?

[boss]

[GREENI]

I got a D44 bumper too, but I think it might of been a proto ???
Will ask Jake !

Tell you what, hows about you stay quiet until you decide which car you actually own and post a decent pic, posting pics of Thrashers motor and saying its yours DOESNT count (Sorry mods, I wont be told my truck looks ugly by a wannabe)

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

try these old pics then fussy :twisted:  lol

if i wanted 3ootdi lights i would have bought a 300tdi disco, same if i wanted td5 lights. why buy a car that you originally like only to then spend thousands on cosmetic work that would have been unneccessary if u had bought the car with a look u liked to start off with........ :shock:  :shock:
 i'm all for adding to the original, but don't knock something just because u don't like the look of it!!!!
and as for not seeing at night, were u aware u were supposed to turn the lights on in order to see where u going????  try it sometime!!!!
rant over........i think......

[stuntman]

I'm with you on this one mate, you buy the vehicle you want. If you know about land rovers you generally know what model and spec you want.

I liked the 200 tdi engine and dash layout, I know everything else will be replced at some stage, seats bumpers etc, and the lights actually suit the vehicle. They are good enough for the road, and if your off piste so to speak you always have the auxillary lights we all fit.

It's about preferance not style or looking update. I used to have a volvo 240 rally/drift car. It looked old but by jebus that thing went, and the paint kob was 'a bit' loud  8)

[Disco Matt]

My thoughts exactly - this is one reason why I'm not fitting clear indicator lenses to mine (the others being that while you can get front and side ones I've yet to see replacements for the rear ones, and besides which that sort of money could better be spent on a detachable towbar!).

I have seen some replacement light units and grilles for the Disco 1 that looked not unlike those on the new-shape Range Rover. They don't really suit the Disco to my mind as they're from a different era in styling terms, and the styling just didn't match - rather like putting Disco headlights on a Series 3.

Just my opinions - if you've done this and like the looks of it I'm not having a go. The beauty of these vehicles is that you can do so much to them with just a set of spanners and a handy parts supplier.

Grille was made by my own fair hand.  Just took a Dremmel to a standard Td5 grille and then pop riveted the stainless mesh in place.  Had to add the cut out for the free-spool lever afterwards
