United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

I do understand where you are coming from, particularly with classic or more interesting cars (or even boring ones - I was recently delighted to come across a 1998 vw polo with the original sony/vw cassette player and the original 'Welcome to your volkswagen cassette, voiced by Quentin Wilson). However for something I actually use, I see no reason not only improve it. Lack of DAB and Bluetooth music is very annoying and the of interior lights for my backseat passengers is just nuts, even my '1995 Range Rover classic has an interior light in the back. It works too!

Back on topic - I really like the grey door handles on my black sport and didn't buy one because it had chrome mirrors fitted. I'm glad people like you exist because there are nice, original, examples for me to buy and tweak Smile

I really don't know what the colour is - I am no expert on RRS wheels as other posts on this website will testify. I guess they are original LR fitted from new but they are definitely not just silver. There is a tint to them. Perhaps gun metal grey (geoffsnook) is correct. Is that a standard colour? Where could I see a definitive list of wheels and colour options for a 2008 RRSRD? Robin

They did do a version of that wheel in what they called Chrome Shadow, can't say ever seen them so not able to describe it. Might come up if you google it LR008742

I think Col has it. Chrome Shadow seems likely. Some come up on eBay using the link he suggested.

Yes I quite like them - don't think my chrome fetish will go as far as getting them chromed. That'd be a step too far Smile Robin

Here's the pic of the rear strip. Might go for chrome tail pipes then that's about it

BTW, notice the mist in the nearside rear lamp cluster. I've tried to seal the inside with tape assuming it was coming in through the gaps where the two halves fit together but it hasn't worked. Any ideas? Now I really have hijacked the thread Rolling Eyes Robin

Hairdryer will dry it out Thumbs Up Might be worth taking apart and resealing. Do they have the drain pipe for water to escape...might be blocked? Steve.
