Are those genuine SVX wheels powdercoated black? What badge do you have on back?


Same question here, what did they do exactly? Mine is supposed to be delivered with the black wheels as well, but would love to hear your experience.

The wheels are svx alloys that I had stripped and then powder coated satin when new, not a chip or mark 30k km later so worked out well as I was unsure if it would work.

The badge is a copy of the one from the NAS spec 110

Are LR offering the wheels in black from the factory ? copy cats ! Laughing

Hi scottish110,

Yep I have a body shop guy who is very good with special projects, I bought a new dash as it was cheap, got him to paint it
and then we fitted. There is quite a bit of work as all the dial graphics have to be taken off the back of the plastic.

Looking at yours maybe we should start a blackblackblack110 club ! Laughing


I must admit when i was first looking at buying one and joined the forum i was actually inspired by yours so that was the reason why i blacked out the whole thing Whistle ! Looks great m8 Smile !

No, but I asked for it and the local dealer is fixing it before the delivery. Lazy I am.

Quick update, Just got the 4 mudflaps replaced by LR due to rust on the hangers and also the rear window catches due to paint bubbles.


Added the A bar and Hella xenon lights, they turn night into day, Now I sort of understand why they cost so much.

Cracking lights, exactly the same as on mine. need to be careful though, they aren't watertight if mounted upside down and let water into the casing. you can just about see in that photo on the top of the unit there is a small hole with a locating nib. best bet is to seal this, either with silicone or grab some electrical tape and put a few layers on. not pretty but it works Thumbs Up
