DIY Re-Discovery
« on: July 01, 2005, 21:29:42 »
I've had an hour at the show in Thornes Park & just nicely got in.

On my way out, I thought my eyes were deceiving me.
I saw this the other day in traffic, but wasn't sure it was what I thought it was.

Looks a bit DIY, don't you think?

Okay & at that age registration, it's a Range Rover base, but it looks like a Disovery so it's in here.

It's not this one Dyf, the headlights on this one are 300Tdi Discovery.

I'm given to understand that 9 or 10 Re-Discoverys have been (professionally) converted

Is there a point to these conversions, or is it just for the hell of it?

I was wondering if square lights would modernise the front of the RRC.  Now I know to leave well alone.
