Default My first 2003 Landrover Discovery 89kmiles

Hello from, not so sunny today, Destin, Fl. Today I purchased a 2003 Landrover Discovery for fun. Looking forward to learning more about my new ride. My wife and I are recently retired, and love to travel in our 2010 Winnebago-Sprinter ERA. Planning to replace broken plastic? bumpers front and back, plastic front grill, several electrical switches etc. I believe I found the perfect vehicle for short adventures around town.

Hi:
Not sure what "flat tow" means but maybe not?
03 Discover, White/Black.
Checked out www.roverlandparts and found the front bumper $695, Rear Bumper $295, Tail Light-bumper-left $55. Since I purchased vehicle with nothing more than a slow drive around the block, I will wait until I drive a couple hundred miles to see if everything mechanical i.e. engine, transmission etc is working and not in need of repair. Only then will I spend the additional $1,000 to fix everything outside. Inside only needs a few switch covers and a good cleaning to get the stale smoke smell out.
Does anyone know of any other good sources of the parts I need?

Most of the sellers also sell on Amazon and eBay and sometimes it is a little cheaper or the shipping is free.

Also British Parts of Utah (bputah).

I neglected to note your location and am on my phone now so I can't see it but there are some great outlets in Texas too.

No, My Winnebago is a Class B, Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter. I get 21 mpg and can park it in most parking lots on on street..
