Genuine very rare Land Rover Discovery 94-99 Mesh Grille - DHB102590LML | eBay

Mine.

have to say very impressed with TD5 rear lights, did you just swop the whole panel ? And you got 300/td5 wing mirrors aswell?

I think a George Foreman grill would look the business on the Disco

adam300tdi · Oct 10, 2012

I just ment how did u get them in the back.how hard was it to do the front lights they look bang on

barnzy · Oct 10, 2012

You changed your tune pretty quickly.

cut the holes for the lights in the existing panels and plated and filled where the old lights were,absalute tw*t off a job and i wouldnt advise doing it as streanthening the rear door support up is proving to be a nightmare ,and geting the lights seated flush is proved to be near imposible,i am thinking of getting some td5 rear quarters and making hybrid rear quarters cutting the bonding on the cornerr panels and joining them together,all in all i bit off a little bit more that i could chew,well thats what happens when a 22yr old is let loose with a grinder lol

if you look at the mesh grill if i chop the 2 ends down there wont be nothing holding the top and bottem together lol

Looks pretty good in the pictures, sounds like a arse of a job though, its amazing how much changing the rear lights completely changes look of the back, did u do the wing mirrors to ?

Well I think it looks really great as it is !

Let's face it it's never going to look like a real 5, but I reckon it looks like a VERY skilfully modified TDi - and what's wrong with that?

The looks of a TD5 with the reliability and economy of a TDi 200 - sounds like the best of all worlds to me

I like it too, only other one I've seen was a right bodge! Yours looks good
