Default Couple questions

Hows it going, names bobby and i drive a 2005 LR3 and I am new to rovers so don't know where to look for parts and "upgrades". I am coming from the world of drag racing and purpose built race cars. Where I know where to look for anything I need for a sbc or Ls motor.

So my questions are this:

Is there a A-pillar gauge pod for our rigs?

What are my options for a new dash?

Exterior lighting? Like headlight options, or best aux lights.

How about exterior panels like the wheel arches and bumper end caps? Mine are faded pretty bad.

Best place for trail/camping gear. Like roof racks or or anything advised for weekend expeditions.

What about where to buy exhaust and intake to help it breath a little better? I read borla was the best but who has the best price? Do they make headers for these? How about a K&N? Do they make a full intake or just a drop in filter?

Sorry for all the random questions, I tried searching but the things I found where half way done threads or not broken down Barney style for me to understand.

Depending on the color, you can get body colored fender flares, door handles, and mirror caps. There are OE roof racks and also just cross bars. There are fancy replacement panels for the center dash and vents, but that's about it.

Lots of cool bling stuff here: Powerful UK

re: K&N - read their warranty, which is void if used off road. So what does that tell you? It is about 3 tons of vehicle, is impressive going from one mud bog to another, not one stop light to the next.

It's the fastest Rover I've owned.

I totally almost maybe smoked the guy in the V8 Dakota with racing stripes.
