So what I'm geting out of this statement is that people who use their Discos to wheel are stupid because their rigs tend to get cracked up from time-to-time? I can tell you were pissed, so please clarify this statement...

If you bought a Disco for a "road-only" daily driver I can understand, but in regard to your intention of customizing your rig, you'd probably be better off with a Range Rover Sport or something like that, as there will be many more options in the bling category.

I think you were looking into beezels post too much. The majority of Disco owners use their rigs for their intended use - driving off-road.

C' mon guys, I think Entropy isn't getting the best welcome here... I've talked talked with him before and he's a real nice guy with some pretty cool ideas he'd like to try out Like myself he's not looking to build up his Disco for off roading, but still likes to work on cars and likes a new challenge... I'm sure that's what he meant by his comment.

If this is a strictly off road forum than I could see not having the welcome mat out for him, but I've seen all types here and that's what makes this the BEST Land Rover forum out there - by far!

I agree with ibjettin about entropy. but Im not blaming on the others, they flamed up coz his last sentence and I dont blame how the enthusiats reacted.

now entropy i do have a suggestion for you ( a friendly one) if you want to go with the spinners and stuff i believe any Disco wont look good, in my perspective though. Yet if you wanna go with our friend ibjettin here, damn his rig sure looks sharp, that what's mine would look like (different color though) if Im not going to use my DII to go offroad.

as for any unique style, you can go with bigger rims, say 19" wheels from Brabus but I don't know if those would fit or not. just don't get the chrome one,get the genuine one instead.

hope this helps and keep up the creativity with the Disco.

Be careful with these comments, a lot of us here are among the off-road crowd.... As far as making a unique Rover....go for it!!!!! Post pics along the way..... I don't really know of any body kits or spoilers etc...I know there are some out there!! There is a RRC with a body kit and a spoiler thatI have seen....Didn't like it personally but he did a good job and kept it clean!!!!

why don't you custom made the style? I believe there are some places that you could ask for a custom made style, but you have to sketch the style yourself or get someone good at it to do it for you

You need lots of money if your going to purchase anything from them. They do have some really great stuff though.

He asked for options.... I'm just an idea man.
Who knows, he might have a big wallet.

I did not mean for the last statement of my original post to be offensive torwards anyone. I guess i didnt choose the best of words and i apologize to all of those who were offended.

As for offroading, i bought my '03 disco for occational daily drives and also to take on the beach in Cape Hateras (surf-fishing, camping).
I actually spent last weekend there and had a blast driving on the sand and a few dune trails. It was funny seeing so many people getting stuck driving their Z-71 pickups and Expeditions.

My original post more or less was just about me customizing, not blinging out my disco. I have always been into customizing my vehicles, but never to the point of being non-functional/practical or tasteless. Pretty much i am just looking for minor cosmetic upgrades or accents.

Thank you to everyone for your input...whether it was positive or negative. I take it all as constructive criticism
