I've been a bit quiet on here recently, main reason being I have only covered 1000 miles in the L322 in the past twelve months. A house move amongst other things has meant it's barely been used

But it flew through it's MOT last month and has been sat at my work since looking pretty out front, this has encouraged me to get on with my 4.4tdv8 brake conversion finally

I took the day off work last week with the sole purpose to make some headway with my callipers

Fortunately for me I have a friend with a restoration business and he kindly let me use his equipment

First up was media blasting on all four callipers. The condition was actually surprisingly good with only minimal pitting on the inside of the ally callipers, the cast callipers came up great

Next, after careful cleaning and masking, I painted all four callipers in a 2k primer

Now for the fun bit!

I have been considering lots of different colours. I knew I didn't want red or yellow, but I still wanted them to stand out more than they would if they were gloss black or even OE Grey.

The colour I have chosen is by company called Custom Paints and it is their Base Pearlz Coconut finished in 2k lacquer

To me this colour looks incredible in person, it's pretty hard to photograph in workshop so the pictures don't quite do it justice.

Look nice mate. I like your drying rack.

Hi everyone my name is Dale and I have a 2009 3.6 TDV8 Vogue SE L322 in Stornoway Grey

Although I'm new to the forum I've owned my Range Rover for nearly two years and I've really enjoyed it. Before this I had a Discovery 2 TD5 Landmark for over ten years so I'm pretty familiar to playing with the LR brand

Here's a picture from the day I picked it up, this was a huge day for me as I'd always dreamt about owning a Facelift L322 ever since driving one on a LR Experience day back when they were brand new!

No sorry I sold the original grille long ago, it was a factory option I believe 2010 MY Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 Vogue SE - Stornoway Grey with Semi-Aniline Ivory Leather and Piano Black Trim
