Recommended Garage for Mods?
Hi All

Just bought a Defender 110..but want some mods making...like roof-rack, chequer plate etc...

Can anyone recommend somewhere in the NW (40 mile radius of Preston) that are good and reliable?

Many thanks...

Welcome to the site! Thumbs Up

When you say 'making' do you mean manufacturing or just simply fitting? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Hi K9F

Sorry for the confusion...supply and fitting...not the actual manufacture of anything!

Cheers

I'd recommend Killer 90 CSK Land Rovers. But maybe too far away from you in Herts.

Depending on what type of roof rack you want (eg Patriot, Hannibal etc) I'd look for the nearest agent and have a word with them. alternatively get one shipped and fit it yourself as they aren't that hard to do.

Chequer plate varies in quality quite a bit and I'd recommend getting some that is shaped properly and comes with the gasket to fit between it and the body, otherwise you get all sorts of crap behind it.

I tend to limit CP to wing top protectors and have fitted genuine parts stuff to both my Pumas - excellent quality. John

Have you got some CSK chequer plate or a CSK roof rack fitted then? John

@ John- Steve has some of my Chequer plate, its made by the same company which make the genuine Chequer but at under 4 times what they charge Shocked come with stainless nuts and bolts and are countersunk. Im not really big on the chequer plate scene no more even though mine is pretty cheap e.g wingtops £60 per pair i cant compete with the cheap stuff out there Big Cry CSK Automotive

Cool - I'll bear that in mind, sounds a good price for genuine stuff.

Do you do the sill covers in black? Do they come with gaskets?

Cheers, Thumbs Up John
