dont get me wrong, each to their own, but it seems every new member on the site is a new owner looking to modify their 'ride' |

See where you're coming from Kaine... it does lend itself to modification. As we know there are good ways and bad ways to do this. I think the RRS ownership sector is still a cut above the usual Max Power crowd though. I don't see anyone has manufactured blue neon strips to fit under the windscreen or side sills yet |

I should add that I do think a lot of the modifications do look very good - at least the majority of RRS owners have good taste - its just interesting how many change things. Remember I was guilty of this too, by putting S/C grills on mine |

I still love this. Respray, wheels, kit and exhaust (and I presume the engine mod too). A lot of mods, but still very tasteful.

I agree - floating roof design is kept, plus keeps standard lights works very well |

The whole design of the RRS centres on the floating roof idea, to colour code the car ruins the design concept (Excludes black obviously) I always thought that when the RRS came of a certain age the type of owner would change and change their cars. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I suppose in that respect, it's been a victim of it's own success really. It's opened up LR ownership to a whole new sector... that would have normally been occupied by X5, ML, Pig owners. |

I think people just want to enhance their vehicles, imho adding a S/S exhaust, Stormer alloys and swapping grills/vents and badges adds to the look of the car, you would think L/R would by now offer all the above as a upgrade pack. Hopefully any changes are in keeping with the ethos of the Sport Tourer, i.e clean quality parts, Speed Limits! not where I live!
