finished the polishing, changed the letters as well. didnt quite like the "silver look" so went black to match the colour of the car.

Not a good idea to publish your number plate. Much too shiny, needs some mud

OOOPPPSS!!!

it will have mud soon enough. well, sludge and muck off the roads

and a bit of MUD when Will gets the new rubber on my 16's

comes up well for a 11 year old car though.

Aye, looks good, the paint on the bonnet of mine has more craters than the Somme battlefields

Try AutoustylingUK. About £60 I think.

thanks Kev! found it, ordering it in the morning

Range Rover Mk2 (95-02) - Bonnet Guard Dark Smoke ASX for Land Rover Range Rover Mk2 (1995 on)

I got a couple of tins of nondescript blue paint mixed up so I could have a pop at fixing the carpark wound. Not going to do any actual work until the 26th, as I start my forced 2 week holiday then. Bloody fascism I tell you, being forced to take a holiday.
But hopefully I can patch up the scratches and have her looking good as new again.
I also took her from Pickering to York to Pickering to Scunthorpe and back to Pickering again.

Almost without an issue. I left the key in position 2 while I took of my coat and put some stuff in the boot. When I came to actually turn the engine the battery wasn't happy. Got it to fire up with a traction control fault. Turned it off, started up without issue and the fault went away.

Flew through an MOT,:boxing::boxing:
and turned 88,888 miles.
And did not break down at all today!!!

Got new winter tires and changed the front wipers flat blade Valeo R55...works a charm and very quiet

Got the eas working. Going for a comfy drive on air.

Pulled a Vauxhall Vectra out of a muddy field.
It was well stuck, up to the floorpan at the front.

:rofl:

Today I'm cleaning the mud off the bottom of my Vauxhall Vectra after some maniac in a Range Rover drove me off the road into a muddy field. At least he towed me back out. Still, I hope his airbags pop.

Check out LINE-X | Industrial Coatings | Truck Bed & Van Lining | Polyurea, Polyurethane Coatings

And look at the South Coast Performance cars. They have covered the whole 4x4 with black LINE-X which is normally used as a liner on flat beds. Looks very good, bet we will see a lot of offroaders like this soon. Body would last forever too. Cooooool.
