In Aussie he found Land Rover Australia had its own polished aluminum bull bar, but it was intended only for the Australian market. Not to be put off, Brendan sort permission from LR UK to have the bull bar approved for NZ, which was duly received. When the polished alloy bull bar arrived I wasn't convinced it was a thing of beauty, but Brendan had other plans.
Both the Discovery and the bull bar were sent off to the painters to be fully repainted in matt black, or as Brendan called it, "Extreme Dark". The wing grille, normally silver, was contrast painted in gloss black. Yes, that's right, a brand new vehicle was stripped and completely repainted.
