'be impressively kitted out' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'repositioning downpipe a little wanting it' is the wordplay.
'repositioning' is an anagram indicator.
'wanting' suggests deleting specific letters (wanting can mean lacking).
'downpipe'+'a'+'little'='downpipealittle'
'downpipealittle' with 'it' removed is 'downpipealtle'.
'downpipealtle' anagrammed gives 'WELL-APPOINTED'.

'to' acts as a link.
