Ta Da! Welcome.

Really love those wheels but we do a lot of offroading here on the farm and out in CO at the cabin so had to stick with the 20s. VERY nice combo!

I saw somewhere that the 2020 D5 turn signals do the sweeping motion vs. blink on / off. Can you confirm? Just curious.

I just checked and they just blink, no sweeping motion.... That would have been cool though!

The new 2020 Discovery Sport has sweeping I think...

So we have just under 9,000 miles on the D5 so it was time for a couple upgrades. Yesterday I installed the ChipExpress piggyback tune and had my mechanic upgrade the front brakes to the 6 piston Brembos. Initial impressions are great. The tune is noticeable for sure, especially in passing situations. I'm very happy with it and would recommend the product. For the brakes I sourced all the parts thanks to @AirRyan and his thread. It took me a minute but I got everything and it installed with no issues! This is also a marked improvement over the stock offerings on the diesel. It's a shame that LR does not offer that as an option. They are missing out on extra money! Here are a few pics including some prep I did on the calipers. I went with silver as I like the understated look... Some may notice the PedalBox and no mention of install. That's because I wanted to see how the tune affected everything before I install that. On the fence but I feel like I dont really need it. Thanks for reading....

Since someone asked earlier in the thread, this is what the Disco 5 looks like with sweeping side mirrors signals. I bought them from the chaps at powerfuluk. Their install video uses a RR Sport.

Those look great! I was looking at them earlier. I like that it get's rid of the transparent lens portion on the mirrors.
