Thread: Black Pack for D4 - Seeking wisdom!

Hi Blair and welcome to the forum and the Permagrin club.

The following link is a site in the UK that sells parts. They have a number of black parts that may suit your purpose including roof rails and include a video showing how to fit them. I was going to buy the roof rails from these people when I got my first Disco 2 years ago but the dealer gave me roof rails at cost, fitted, so I didn't bother. The exchange rate is basically double at the moment and of course there's postage but it may be worth a look. I think you could emulate a black pack with what they have.

I'll definitely give that one a look. I do like the "no VAT" deal we get from the UK!

Hey Blair, I pick mine up on Friday, so I'm a new to LR ownership as well.

I looked at the Black Pack but it wasn't great value, plus they commonly went UP to 20" wheels when I wanted to go down to 18s.

Just on tinting, I'm a strong advocate of tinting for a number of reasons and think it is probably the best value protection product you can put on your car. In Australia, I would almost say it's a must. Mine's Fuji White too and it's tinted and it looks ^%$%$ing amazing. Will post pictures Friday morning.

I think the tinting alone will make a difference. As for the roof rails, I think you could sell them and get a good chunk back. I haven't solved that problem yet but will probably go straight to a Rhino Rack platform. In black of course.

Enjoy the car! (and get it tinted )

So true, I'm like a Cheshire Cat!!!

All true - I picked mine up on Monday, and still on cloud nine. Last few days at my current job and took it in to the carpark today and parked next to all the company Ford Territories. I really liked my Territory but it really doesn't compare to the D4. Workmates suitably green with envy 25cm higher than CEO's car in park next to me!!!


I reckon Fuji White is the pick for me - it's a really bright white compared to whites in other cars, and the D4 is just begging for some high contrast against the black components. Enjoy!!!

In case you miss the link in the wheel thread, JayBee75 has Plastidipped some of what you're considering (grills and badges) and posted photos:

I expect you could do the roof rails as well. This would save you quite a bit for other goodies.

Hi Martin, Reckon the best deal here is the 60 quid santorini black stick on handles. And maybe the lettering if you trust yourself to stick 'em on straight. The bigger stuff starts to be comparable to local prices. Defo still permagrin territory - am I a bad person if my car lifts my self esteem? Haha - thanks for your response Martin, happy Landy motoring.
