2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

@RM - seeing what was I’m guessing your previous Disco made me fondly remember the four of them I’ve had over the years. Still recall the agricultural noise of the D1 200 Tdi and having to get my 1990s Motorola car phone upgraded to “lorry” standard as the hands free microphone didn’t work well with the cabin noise of the diesel! So glad my FF is quiet as a whisper by comparison. 2016 SDV8 AB

2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Aintree Green

Happy to say I owned both the red and the green one 😁 Some of the best cars I’ve ever owned and if the Discovery hadn’t gone out of production, in 2016 ( ), I’d probably still have one now - especially if they’d put the SDV8 in it

Anyway, grille’s back in the paintshop, so here we go again...

As long as you don’t expect me to start singing as well...

Not sure you’d appreciate it too much 🙄

Thanks chaps 👍

I did consider painting more, but there was no obvious way of painting any more of the grille, without painting ALL of the grille (no obvious masking lines) and that might have been too much

Well noticed stan, I did the vent at the back of the bonnet early on. I couldn’t stop seeing this erratic piece of grey plastic every time a was behind the wheel 🙄

Thanks. I do enjoy playing around with colour schemes. This was my last summer’s project:
