Does the lower tray it onto the original rear bumper or is it a case of a whole new bumper? Would it fit onto the D4 rear bumper? Tow bar, roof bars, side steps, tow bar storage unit.

Reckon the D4 rear bumper is the same as the D3 MY09 bumper and therefore should fit. If I could think of anything intelligent, poignant or witty, I'd put it here !!!

Looks like it's on 20's and either suspension is slightly compressed due to terrain, or it may be in access height, - look at negative camber on front wheels (tops inward). "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

The bumper "kit" is the one TLO's been offering in the for sale section, but I'm not 100% sure he's still offering it... look on ebay, some dealers are still selling them... IT does not seam to have an official name though.
It's not available in Zambezi either, that's a spray shop job, I ordered the stornoway grey kit... ideal as a primer colour... spraying cost me £130.
Yes as 90bhp said, I've got 20" V spokes with 295 UHP grabbers, and in that pic it's in access mode, so lower than normal. 2007 TDV8 Java/Ivory, BAS mapped,

Well it's been finally warm enough (as per LR instructions and not as a result of being a southern wimp)
to fit the rear kit
Near side trim went on a dream (after taking D3 to local exhaust centre to free off the nylock nuts currently holding the harmonic dampers so I could locate the new trim brackets on the same bolt).
Offside not so dreamlike... I think I've got the bracket on too low..but adjusting it is a right bitch with everything in place...and my lad came home from nursery with a high temp so SWMBO cut short my car time....so may have another go at it tonight.
Overall (even with the slight gap on the offside trim) very happy!
Pics will follow later (Mrs has D3 today so will wait on her return)
Might call on a few votes either to get the trim colour matched in Zambezi...or leave it stock Brunel Silver 2007 TDV8 Java/Ivory, BAS mapped,

Are you angling the exhaust exit
[as recommended by LR with their kit].
Does it really need it ?
Need to get around now to fitting mine, but not really looked at all the ins and outs.
Sounds like the harmonic damper nuts will be an interesting one.  If I could think of anything intelligent, poignant or witty, I'd put it here !!!

Hi Ron,
Did you look at this thread? http://disco3.co.uk/forum/topic34148.html?highlight=
I don't actually think you need to angle the trims. But imho it looks silly seeing smoke coming from below the trim and not through the exhausts. CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

I think I might investigate these angled exhaust trims more....
The exhaust doesn't exit through the "hole" in the underside of the trim (as I expected) but more to the outer edge of each side.... which is obviously causing turbulence and heat... resulting in the 3M tape melting  and sooty stains now edging up the gap between the trim and the bumper...
I'm assuming these angled exhaust trims just direct the flow away from the trim (down towards the large hole)
because that's all that's needed. 2007 TDV8 Java/Ivory, BAS mapped,
