You forgot to mention my grille! Not as good as yours but I couldn't possibly explain an SXX one away with SWMBO after spending so much recently on the Landy. Will have to lay off the purchases for a while until the dust settles. Rolling with laughter

Looks great though Daniele. Did you manage to sell your old 8700s to help offset the total cost? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

I wondered what "terminated!!!" was = "completed Thumbs Up "


Nice job Daniele, could you post a photo with the side/marker lights on please ?

Sorry to say this and I ain't wanting to rain on anyone's bonfire but that looks cheap and tacky, a parody of how a defender ought to be. I know it will not have been cheap and the installation looks first class, it's just too max power boy racer ish. Sorry. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Yes bpman me too. I thought that by 'terminated' dgardel meant 'abandoned' !

Dgardel that is now the smartest looking 90 on the forum IMHO. Fantastic job. Bellissimo ! Bow down
