Gotta ask why you would want to make the iconic D3 look like a D4

You're quite right Martin, this real one from tdmathis shows it better.
When you consider the reduced height of the headlight the difference in the length of the front wing looks even bigger.

Just a thought, which I dont do very often
If you want a D4 front end, why not just buy a D4 welsh petrol head

D4 Gs 7 seat totally standard for now

assuming that the bonnet is the same as a D3 then the decreased wing length is quite easy to see, on the current
model the 'point' at the front of the bonnet where it sweeps down meets the end of wing but on the pics of the D4
the 'point' is further forward in line with the leading edge of the headlight side reflector...and theeeeennn......???

The discovery,s 200TDI - discovery 1
300TDI- discovery 1 very similar
Td5 - discovery 2 re- worked
TDV6- discovery 3 totally new, looks totally different from TD5
TD3.0 - Disscovery 4, upgraded D3, should be D3 Mk11
any way thats 5 models so D3 should be D4, hope thats everyone confused welsh petrol head

Why would you want a bronze front end on your car? They do only come in bronze, don't they? I mean if all we have to go on is the photos at this stage then all the evidence points towards bronze. Or that bluey silver. But definitely not any other colours.
If you go by the photos that is. But why would anyone want to make decision based just on photos? I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Err... yes! The Tdi Discos are the same platform (original Range Rover chassis).
Td5 Discovery (Discovery Series II) was an entirely new chassis - it was not common to the previous model, despite its appearance.
