nice attempt to have a dig,
but nuffin is kept in the back to " fall out "
so, try again with another comeback :oops: :oops:
that one was rubbish :oops: :oops:
-
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
(http://photos.imageevent.com/denviks/ming/mingupdates/websize/index.phpsdad.jpg)
now i do love those lights.....they are currently sat on the shelf in the garage...
so do i fit them to MING??

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.
-
you are in no position to judge mate!
-
Here's mine. Nice and simple
-
Post deleted!
-
I do like those grilles - where do they come from? Am I right in thinking they were fitted as standard to Saudi market Discos?
-
i got that bumper.

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)

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......
-
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)
-
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 :wink:

Hey DonH on both trucks i ran 33x12.5 15 the black and white one was BFG MT and the blue one is KUMHO MT but when i was running the white and balck one i needed spacers to make them fit :roll: and the blue one i have now does not need spacers :lol: :lol: :lol: so if you fit em then its pot luck to wheather you will need spacers :lol: :lol: :lol: any more info then just ask away i'll try to fight the tears back :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
I don't like mine I love it :lol:
-
i used have full wraparound bullbars on mine. till they got to close for liking in tight spots. mine was black on the disco but i like the s/s ones on my pajero
-
the rest of mine doesnt look to good at the moment and the wheel/tyres are too small....
...BUT i do love my front end..... looks even better without the numberplate but ive got to keep it legal
-
(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w137/bristolmudpluggersphotos/DSC00269.jpg)
happy with mine and the bumper has some paint on now with the end cap!
check out the diff clearance, at least 6 foot :lol:
-
im changeing my front end with a discoparts winch bumper have i made the right choice :shock:
-
they all look good but nothing looks better than the tubular winch bumper with a winch popping out the top of it but that my personal opinion :lol:
-
with lifts i rekon thats thats the right offset u want.
2inch lift 31s
3 inch lift 32s
4 inch 33s
6 inch 35s take a look at fingers mclean what a beast to look at.
i do like jake old motor with 32s on a 2inch lift the cut archs out makes a difference.
also if land rover had fitted 32s from the start the disco looks so more harder offroad same for the rangie with all the standard bumpers in place
-
EH???????????
Crystal meths again? :evil: :evil:
Btw im running 32's (235/85/16's) on no lift and it looks fine and works even better.

(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w137/bristolmudpluggersphotos/DSC00120.jpg)

here is mine. under the water is a trimmed 300tdi bumper. I like the look of the number plate holder as it breaks up the straight lines and the light guards fit nicely too I think, although they do vibrate and rattle when stood outside! there is also a steering guard with hi lift and recovery points on. Must take some shots of the beast sometime!
(http://members.mud-club.com/galleryimages/2e5f48b5e2f3dbac5746b72a5fb6f2cd.jpg)
it doesnt look school mum run 4x4 but again it doesnt look aggressive off roader which is kind of the look I am after. One that makes people think what it is used for.
-
found a better photo taken about nearly 2 years a go. not much has changed though except tree sliders and the grizzlies are for playing on. I have steel wheels with bfg at's for day to day use.

middle aged disco lol
-
Not the best photo ever (should have taken it from a different angle) but I think she's looking pretty good. The sticker on the rear body is a Baja GB Marshal one. Planning to add tree sliders and some proper front recovery points (winch bumper seems the easiest route as I already have a Bearmach aluminium steering guard):
(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x21/Kingofthemountains/Disco/Discorocks.jpg)

better than parked on the driveway

Yep - unfortunately I never got around to taking a photo with the lights on, but this is proof that I do take it off road!
-
er where the big monster disco on 35s or bigger

I think the general feeling from a few people (stop me if I'm wrong, I don't mean to offend) is that we have multiple aestetic questions one after the other, it is a valid discussion but it was a little OTT, to the point of people making snipes, ie roof views next or underbody shot next.
Just my 2 cents

im sure it says - if you can read this

zoom in. if ur being serious?

what everyone is saying is the writing is supposed to be upside down when you read it so if your truck is upside down they should turn it over... why would you want someone to put you on your roof????
-
why would you want someone to put you on your roof????
Don't tempt me :twisted:
In this case he is right I suppose :roll: The sticker is not the funny one that is readily available, but another thing that makes no sense!
It looks to me like the "ME" bit has been taken from it?
It still makes no sense in my mind though? "If you can read this, turn over" turn over what???
What Potash is saying is, You said it says " If u can read" whereas what it says is "If YOU can read"
Can you spot the difference there?
-
I've not seen this sticker the right way up before. Makes little sense that is true, but it's also quite funny if you think about it!
