I have a set that look similar to this item on eBay - mine seem less shiny.

DISCOVERY 3 & 4 > Door Sill Plates - Stainless Steel - eBay Door Customisation, Interior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Vehicle Parts Accessories. (end time 10-Oct-10 22:47:29 AEDST)

And look around, because for the IDENTICAL set the total price can vary by quite a lot. I think mine (front and rear set as per above) were around $AUD120-$140 delivered.

I forgot that I have also got these same s/steel door sill plates off eBay. Same seller too. Cost $130 delivered. Excellent quality. Recommended.

One other thing I'd recommend...aftermarket paint protection film.
Fitted it myself to the front & rear wheel arches, side mirror backs, front grille surround.
The reason for the film was the way the rear arches sit out from the body and the way they got coated in dust/mud each time I'd travel on a dirt road. It was obvious that they coped a caning from dirt & probably small gravel & stones.

Duck's guts--Where did you get the aftermarket clear-film and what brand?

Reading the site it looks like this is a very temporary coating - the DIY version only lasts "up to 6 weeks" and the pro versions "up to 9 months" only? I think there are some other clear contact-type films that last years.

Hi Eddomark,

I'll await Ducksguts reponse as to the semi-permanent film he's used.

I suspect 3M do one...?

After having a D3 SE, now have a D4 HSE.

Optioned up the e-diff, upgraded sound system (like my tunes), and adaptive headlights. Everything else is sweet with this model.

Leather is now an absolute because they are so much easier to clean than cloth.

Rear aircon came standard in the HSE and if I had known how much cooler those in the rear are I would have got for the D3. Keeps the little ones more comfortable although the youngest complains he is too cold sometimes.

Would like to haves (not necessarily available from the factorybut would be nice if they were on the options list):
- larger fuel tank (towing a caravan around the north west of WA at moment and only getting just over 400kms between fills as is close to 3t fully loaded)
- roof rack (LR expedition rack is a little too expensive - want to carry two spares up top)
- bull bar (when is ARB going to actually release theirs or are they providing them to LRA under licence first?)
- snorkel

Cheers

I'd also add the LR genuine bullbar - the one at the Sydney Motorshow has one on, I've placed my order and should be available in the New Year.

The genuine bar allows for all front accessories and sensors to be mounted into the bar, for those with optioned up SE or HSE models.

LRH

Does any one have any photos of genuine bullbar?

Does anyone know if it will be able to be retrofitted to D3?

How much are they?

Us Victorians have not had an opportunity to see it yet.

Regards

Chuck
