Morning All,
I’m a new member of the forum but a long time Land Rover enthusiast. I may be familiar to some of you on the DISCO3 forum but more recently I’ve swapped Discovery for Range Rover and have been wafting around in a 2002 Td6 Vogue.
For the last 11 years, since I first saw a G4 D3, I’ve loved the tangiers range of Land Rovers. After 14 months of Range Rover ownership I’m getting itchy feet now that I’ve seen G4 D3s are coming almost into reach. I am thinking seriously about trying to get into the world of G4 ownership, but I have a few questions – I wonder if anyone can put my mind at ease?
1.
Decals
– I would be keen to restore my G4 D3 to its original G4 spec, including all G4 decals and letterings and with the black chevrons. I have read through many posts on here about ordering replacements but wondered if there is one definitive solution for having a G4 restored to its original decal spec? I wouldn’t like to gamble on sourcing a new decal manufacturer or on my own ability to stick them on properly! Willing to travel to get it done properly
2.
A-bar spot lights
– Whilst wanting to keep to original spec, I preferred the look of the 2005 G4s which had aux spotlights mounted within the A bar (with the grille over the lens). Can anybody advise which light units these are and where I could source them from please?
3. Fading Tangiers
– I’ve heard murmurs on the DISCO3 forum that the paint fades. I would be keen to get mine detailed and protected properly but can anyone advise if they’ve had any issues with the paintwork fading on their vehicle?
4. Is there anything in particular I should look out for when examining a vehicle?
I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Chris
