My Ride: 2005 Sapphire Black 530 se, Media pack, Beige leather.
M-Sport kit being painted as we speak! 20" rims & tyres in transit!
Hello everyone, been reading this forum for a while which inspired me to sell my Range Rover and buy a 530 se which is going to be my new project.
This is what she currently looks like, and I've just bought some 20" rims and tyres which should arrive by the end of the week, as well as an M-Tech kit which should be painted and on by the end of the month.
I have to say, the cars you guys have are awesome, and pretty inspiring.
