Make mine look different!! - Land Rovers Only

moores93LWB · 03-02-2008, 05:15 AM

I have a 1993 RRC LWB edition. I am trying to find corner markers that are amber and white instead of just amber. also i need to find a decal for the grille. If some of yall veterans of these trucks could help me ou i'd appreciate it greatly

This is want it currently looks like, but i want it to look like a vogue se like above but black

Hey you can get the signal lights on ebay UK. And the rims are from a SWB 1995 you can get them on ebay US, but they are hard to find.The LWB 1995 has different rims. I had my rims updated to those SWB 1995, my Rover looks much better.

SafariDave · 03-02-2008, 06:04 AM

that's a pic of my rover with the old rims I need to update the pic.

I would also consider getting an angle grinder to that brush bar. Just leave the centre section and cut the rest off. Those sections will cause more damage from a slight knock rather than protect.

The split front lights are from anywhere, other than the US. Most countries require clear running lights and amber indicators. I have a set sitting in the shed, but I am keeping them as spares.

I dont have a push bar, thank God, and i also dont have the cages around the taillights, thank God again. Well im actually putting 22'' flat black wheels on my truck and painting the grille and the grille in the hood scoop flat black and then getting the truck repainted Gloss Jet Black including the back stainless bumper. Then i plan on tinting those huge windows to keep my privacy, haha!! I really like this truck, but my direction of modifications are different than any regular range rover owner (offroad enthusiast). I also plan on getting custom made seat cover than are black and that wont slide on the leather,haha. I think i might be one of the youngest, proud RRC owners (17 yrs), but owell someone has to be different

I know moores93's plans and ideas for his Rover are far outside what is normally discussed around here...but I'll be interested to see what this turns out like. I can't say that I'm a fan of 22" rims (not enough tire left), but a nice set of 18" rims like a current RR sport might be nice. I know you've gotten some flack...but hey it's your ride do what you want. This is no worse than cutting up fenders (wings) to fit 35"-37" tires (which I've done). Go for it...just remember to post up some pics along the way.

carry on.

repete · 03-02-2008, 10:04 PM

keep us posted on the project! I just wish I could have owned one at 17! they were new then!

peterbat · 03-03-2008, 05:29 AM

me too!!! i remeber my boss had a 4-dr when they first came out in the uk& i thought it was the coolest! we used to fight over who could take it out on brakedowns with the trailer!!!
cheers, pete b

Why don't you just get a black P38.

Seriously.

Anyway, back on topic. Almost all euro range rovers will have the amber and white markers. The US requires that parking lights be amber, hence the fully amber lenses.

having just changed the interior color of my own to a nonstandard color, i can't fault you wanting to make yours unique. For exterior colors, you can get paint codes for range rover's black color though if thats of interest, and a quality paint shop can mix it for you. thats something to consider. also think about replacing the range rover decals with new silver decals once you complete the paint job.

there are a couple places that sell repalcement grills for the classic and also sell headlamp replacements that give more of a 'generation III' range rover look. go to a larger book store chain and pick up a copy of a UK based Land Rover enthusiast mag - you'll find all kinds of mods/parts in these that are hard to even hear about much less find in the US.

If you have TEVO, add a search to find the Pimp My Ride episode featuring a Range Rover. They put large rim/low profile tires on a Classic. Not to my personal taste, but you can see what it looked like. Good luck. Post pics.
