To expand:
I have a rare coil spring LR3 base model V6 (only 27 in USA)
Modifications:
1) Extensive custom paint throughout interior (silver trim pieces) and exterior (monochromatic white throughout and silver roof rails and front grill), all prepared by Premier Automotive Group (PAG)
2) Replaced the factory springs with 40mm and then again with 65mm taller springs.
3) Replaced the base model V6 front brake discs with the larger V8 SE brake discs (they use the same calipers and pads).

8 ) Custom fabricated rock sliders and underbody skid plates from Rover Specialties (now available from www.offroving.com!)
9) Rear accessory power receptacle (LR genuine part, fitted by me!).
10) 2.5†seat rail extensions for driver’s seat (fabricated and installed by Franks Fab Shop).
11) Hannibal Roof Rack on custom modified Thule roof rail load bars and locking pylon mounts
12) Headlamp protective film from Alantic British
13) LR Genuine heavy duty rubber floor and cargo area matts.
14) LR Genuine Cup holder inserts from Expedition Exchange

16) Added the Land Rover bonnent label to the rear
17) black powder coated 10 spoke wheels
18 ) 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers
probably some other things, but I don't recall them now...
[update]
19) Genuine rubber floor and cargo mats
20) Added the radio controls to the base model steering wheel
21) Viar 400H air compressor
