Just can’t stop modifying
Here is my latest modification. Indeed there are several mods/additions visible. Can you see the latest and most discreet? It is my cheapest one yet.
The most expensive of the ones visible was the £100 paid for the spare wheel cover.

Well spotted.
The exhaust and the back of the rear suspension arms were scrubbed with alcohol then sprayed with heat resistant matte black which is widely available and made for exhausts. This is a cheap and effective alternative to the available black mild steel shields sold by customisers. My solution is very easily applied and will not rust or fall off or rattle. For the photo, the suspension is raised and camera lowered, so the silver differential is normally hidden. The silver parts under the bumper annoyed me so I fetched an aerosol tin of exhaust black and ‘sorted’ it. Idea

The logo sticker is a quite substantial cast alloy, far better quality than originally fitted to Land Rover station wagons which were thin pressed alloy, pop riveted on. I glued mine on so as not to damage the body. Bought that from an eBay seller.
