Thats the one...
And the cat is catweasel - he's just bought a white D3.
Essentially if you order two FRONT not rear (keep getting this wrong) RRS supercharged badges they just replace the current ones and look factory installed. The rear LR badge comes off very easily but the front one needs to have a hole drilled behind the badge on the grill so you can push it out.
Once the new ones are fitted they look perfect. Also you can get the black and silver wheel hubs. Completes the set and are far better than the green and gold ones.

Fair go simon, Green and Gold are Australia's colours.
Whispered: But I kinda like the look of the RRS SC black badges. Oh, and colours intentionally swapped to test audience participation.

simon, I agree about really starting to like white D3s.
catweasel, I discovered another difference (other than the obvious one about the body colour parts) is that Nathan's grille is light Bonatti Grey (or a silver). It reduces some of the bulkiness that the all white front appears to have. What do you reckon?

Slap a Nudge Bar on it - the colour of the grill becomes irrelevant then!  Steve N | 2008 TDV6 SE Auto  | Was 2006 TDV6 S Auto  | Club Tunisia | Am I Online?

Yes Steve, but only if you fill the space between the uprights with lights!!

Nate has had a custom paint job done on his and may have swapped his grill too like a few others on the forum.

LeighW TBH I love the way it looks as is and have absolutely no intentions of changing it. each to their own, but I must stress that the grille actually looks better when I view it from behind the steering wheel 
my personal opinion is that it's bulk and lines are what I love about the D3, not all this curvy, pointless crap ie. Prado headlights. its functional and looks the part, but I'm biased

It also comes with leather seats (which was very nicely done ).
I had a look at one in Stockport a few weeks ago.

Can't remember if it was auto.Its definatly the S model with a chrome pack,and leather seats ,which were done by Guy Salmon (well some one they use ) at a cost of approx £1200.
I think also it had colour coded wheel arches aswell,but cant be 100% as iv looked at so many in my quest to choose what i wanted.
