2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Santorini Black

First picture in the post shows it with a HSE badge on it not HST it now has, so probably dealer version.

Cheers

Cheers Ash, defo👍 Want to keep it original looking but I think the small changes have made it look newer.

Changes stuff to make it non-standard and then says "want to keep it original". Sorry, got to laugh.

Does your OCD extend to the number plate? Definitely looks wrong to me...

Is it a factory HST or a dealer one? The factory ones come with the locking rear differential.

Hi, by standard looking I mean no aftermarket bodykit etc added bits that come on later models . but I see what you mean👌 Update soon with non standard parts to modernise interior lol

Numberplate - do you mean the shape? Not sure what that's got to do with ocd tho just personal preference?

The advert I've bought from says HST version. Checked logbook and its says HSE. I've also read about a stormer version, how do you know which one it would be?

It's 2.7 tdv6 with Brembo brakes, Ace, HST kit but hasn't got the rear diff lock tho

If it says HSE in the log book then the body kit was fitted after it left the factory, either by a dealer or someone else. I may be wrong but I belive the 2.7 was originaly called a Stormer, the TDV8 3.6 was called the HST.

Ok so haven't updated for a while..
New rear calipers, brembo pads & disks, brake hoses, handbrake shoes, springs clips, bolts etc and gave them a paint. (also painted metal part of airbags satin black after photo was taken)

Repainted front calipers with new brembo decals. New brake fluid. Wire brushed chassis etc and repainted. Ace pipe pipes sanded to remove flaking paint and repainted. New ace pipe rubbers and brackets.

Set of 22" diamond cut stormers

Usually just after belt change is when the risk is highest

That's definitely a job that should be done during belt change then.. Looks a lot of work to do now 🙈 Timing belt done by previous owner by LR specialist.. I'll check receipt to see if done or maybe call them 👍

Thanks buddy 👍 she'd only done 55k when I bought her last year (59k now) so seats wasn't bad anyway.

I bought scuffmaster leather dye (mixed to correct colour) - I posted them my headrest to get a perfect match. Some leather filler to fill any scratches. Then applied the dye using a airbrush gun on a air compressor.
The gun only cost around £25. Dye another £25 and filler around £10. They really do look brand new 👍👍

Just done a set of 192k Range Rover Vougue seats and they look great

It was just the letter spacing - it's an OCD thing for me as I'm not a fan. And the police aren't either, it should be noted.

2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
