Have been an owner for nearly a year now, and have been constantly tinkering from the first week!
This is my daily driver, and I intend to take this into the many hundreds of thousands of miles on it.
Every day I get in it to drive is a treat that never ceases to put a smile on my face - absolutely the best purchase ever.
These are from the dealer just prior to taking delivery - the starting point, not too shabby I acknowledge, but I'm from the modifying crowd, and it can always be improved.
First upgrade was a UAD carplay unit, but this has since been pulled out and returned as it was constantly falling over and taking the native entertainment system with it!
This will soon be sorted with a LR retrofit upgrade to the 10" touch screen with native Carplay.
Recent additions are a new front grill courtesy of Vehicle Revolutions and rear side diffusers from Maxton Design.
For the keen eyed, I've also dropped on MTEC drilled and grooved discs paired with Mintex pads, 20mm spacers behind each wheel, and 305 and 265 Michelin PS4s (on freshly refurbished stock 20" wheels with a slightly darker grey hue than OEM), the latter two items really giving it some proper stance and grip, though it does flick the arches a little more often when going through compressions in the road.
The bits you can't see are the K&N panel filters and upper and lower pulleys and ECU map by Viezu, which has really transformed the feel of the car, with an instant pick up and loads of low end grunt about it even in docile mode, but that hasn't killed the economy.
It's lifted the stock 380bhp to 450 and the torque from 377 Ft-Lb to 441, and still be able to get a regular 32mpg at a constant 75, and when you nail it, it really shows a wicked turn of speed now.
Future thoughts now focus on powered rear hatch lift, and maybe some decals / stripes combined with a ceramic coating
