Pre-emptive strike on rear arches. Only light surface rust on both. Used this POR15 kit. The metal prep are all the rust and left nice shiny metal. 2 coats of paint and when dry I will finish off with Baltic blue top coat. Not necessary with trims on but I know they are black at the moment!

Checked sunroof drains and all clear.

Treated it to a set of 22s, ( courtesy of jakebullet a few weeks ago on here. Top bloke ) and some new 285/45/22 rubber.

Suppose i best get the hose out next and treat it to a wash too !

Re-aligned drivers door as it didn’t sit quite right, the was up slightly which showed when you followed the lines, closes much better too now. Also turned on the DRL’s not sure if they will be any good but when I finally get to use the car again I will see how they go. Easy enough to turn off if I don’t like them

Not all done in one day but in the last couple of weeks I’ve fitted a new grille and the smaller mesh grille underneath the main one, parts supplied by Powerful UK - oh, and a set of LED interior lights from them too. The difference in the lights is amazing! Also been power-washed, clay barred, polished and waxed. The big fella is loving this lockdown thing! L322 TDV8 4.4 - current

Might be the yank in me but I like the before wheels. Just needed some decent rubber and not those rubber bands. Some new 285/45/22 would have done the trick....and save the 20s for winter 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

There's looks & there's ride..... the L322 was designed for 18/19/20 whereas the L405 was designed for 20/21/22 (I know there was a 19 option)

An L322 on 22's is always a firm ride - but I do agree, those tyres do look a bit on the skinny side....

I ran an L322 on 20's then 22's then back to 20's and now an L405 on 22's....

to be honest i just had enough/fedup with the 22" i always loved the look they gave but just crap ride anything not on a motorway or smooth road.. the last year with all the country lanes i normally do daily it was just looking out for every crack and bump in road.. cracked one rim and wife always curbing them..

so i have gone for something with lots sidewall seems a comon wheel choice for l322 these days and i forgot how nice it drives with more tyre then wheel.

hopfully i can just drive the thing without the worry of damaging the wheels. Especially with my hobby going up some very crappy roads is very common and doing 2/5mile per hour and tyring to drive around all the rocks was also very annoying.

had this car 6 years now.. 3/4years with 22's and 2 with 19inch... 2003 Range Rover 4.4 Litre V8 - Adriatic blue

Added the wheel caps

On the l322 the max size tyre on a 22” would be 40 profile.

From reading before now the 45profile will also rub and require plastic underarch area in front to be messed about with. 2003 Range Rover 4.4 Litre V8 - Adriatic blue

Absolute rubbish. It is all very much dependant on the offset of the alloy you are fitting. Just fitted 22 x 10j with offset of 50 and 285/45/22 tyres.

No rubbing anywhere whatsoever. 2006 4.2 SC
