As for the back, if it is the offset plate that bothers you then Startech have an insert to center it. But in my view the smaller AU plates look better than the euro sized ones, on a black background in the insert as with Jack's car that bit visually disappears.

Having seen the black insert (Gloss Black tailgate / boot lid finisher?) in the flesh on a white and silver car I agree. Makes a world of difference to how the rear end looks. Shame its part of a pack.

The black insert can be bought separately.

Really? From LR?

I'm looking at a couple of D5's with the black pack (which does not include the insert).

Cheers

Hi all,

Mike here visiting from the US. I'm stuck in a land where these things are just used as family cars, hardly ever off roaded. So Im here to hang with the people who really use them.

Just starting my build. Waiting for proper 18" wheels so I can put better tires on. Lights coming for the rook rack. Winch will be added when a hidden winch mount is available in the US soon.

I did do one cosmetic change. How do you like my D5 "Autobiography?"

We started the black vinyl under the mirror along the top of the door sill and continued back until it met the rear window. A clear vinyl was overlaid to make it shine like the factory black trip and roof. A matte stripe seals the vinyl and mirrors the rubber seals around the windows. I'll be sure to post more as this truck develops. Hoping to hold out for 18" wheels, but if someone wants to trade 20s for the 22s that came on it, I'll jump at the chance.
