United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black
Been busy...

I've had my car for two weeks now and been so busy with it thanks to this site!!

Picked up the car with PTI and side steps and now its got:

    22" Stormers - ride a bit harsher but nothing to cry about. 22"s fill the arches perfectly (for urban driving)!

    Pentagon Privacy Glass - they do all my local $tealers cars (RR's, Bentleys, Jags) and luckily I know the guy who owns it - he's done all my past cars. Went for midnight which is slightly lighter than the LR privacy glass. Looks great and thanks to the Alpaca interior, its not so dark so you can still see through slightly.

    Matt black LR3 handles and custom made matt black lower tailgate trim - didn't want to go for the colour coded look and I quite like the look of the black plastic on a Java RRS so got my body shop to spray a new tailgate trim in matt black.

    SC Grille and colour coded side vents - self explanatory!



Coming soon - clear side repeaters, semi-smoked rear lights and a new backbox!

I appreciate its hard to comment on a car without seeing it but i'll put up some pics fairly soon. 2006 '56 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java Black, Alpaca Interior, PTI, Sidesteps, 22" Stormers wrapped in 285/35/22 Toyo Proxes, Java Framed SC Grille, Java/Zambezi Side Vents, Matt Black LR3 Door Handles, Matt Black Lower Tailgate Trim, Colour coded lower body trims, Semi Smoked Taillights, Chrome Mirrors and Fog Light Bezels, Reflex Exhaust Back, Full Pentagon AutoGlass Privacy, Tasmod Sills, Clear Side Repeaters, pics in gallery!

Matt black LR3 handles


I had never noticed that before - the LR3 does have matt black door handles. Was it just a straight swap?

I'm impatient for the pics also as I suspect those handles would look nice on my Java RRS also. 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge

TF - I've considered that, but it's a matter of taste.

I actually prefer the matt finish to the bright. I'd also like the base of the hatch in a black matt finish as well. 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge

To all - pics are coming soon, patience my friends Wink

jjb218, tyres are Toyo Proxes 285/35/22 106w - package cost me £1750 valved, balanced and delivered with black centre caps. They use the existing nuts too.

Singletrack, it was a straight swap and the door cards do not need removing like most people think. The caps snap off and tha handles slide out. I can give more detailed instructions if necessary or you can go to the Land Rover GTR site like I did. The matt black tailgate trim looks great but i'm still waiting for the range rover decal to arrive (putting new ones on).

To see pics of the LR3 handles on a java RRS now, look at a members gallery - his name is djsaad1 - I got the idea after seeing pix of his car.

TF9, I personally prefer the matt black platic look on parts of the car - looks a bit more rugged (bit contradiciting of me after I put 22"s on) Laughing 2006 '56 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java Black, Alpaca Interior, PTI, Sidesteps, 22" Stormers wrapped in 285/35/22 Toyo Proxes, Java Framed SC Grille, Java/Zambezi Side Vents, Matt Black LR3 Door Handles, Matt Black Lower Tailgate Trim, Colour coded lower body trims, Semi Smoked Taillights, Chrome Mirrors and Fog Light Bezels, Reflex Exhaust Back, Full Pentagon AutoGlass Privacy, Tasmod Sills, Clear Side Repeaters, pics in gallery!

That I want to see! I think we've mentioned the general impatience over getting some pics of this... Rolling Eyes

It should look great with the "RANGE ROVER" applied. 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge
