Seeing yours means I have no interest in the entreq stuff.

Did wonder about the wing reinforcers though as I believe you can damage the wing from standing on it even with CP? 1951 80" S1 2.0

Last year, I was thinking of Diamond Chequer Plate - Brendan thought that Entreq were going to release some...I like the look:

Personally I find the 5-bar plate a bit "busy"....1, 2 or even 3-bar would look good in my opinion - I do intend to fit some soon. Of what's available, the Mammouth looks about the best IMHO (for quality & finish at a decent price).

They have and it is now fitted on the white 90. It looks absolutely beautiful. I have it from a reliable source that it will be I. The land rover world mag that comes out at the end of June.

If you plan standing on the wing tops then reinforcers are a good idea.

If you 'need' to stand on the wingtops one would surmise you've a roof rack. Why not consider the bonnet, you can definately stand on that no bother? Never a feint heart 'n' all that....It does involve drilling 28 holes though.

Hi SGH,
OK I'll call you monday to sort out some Mammoth CP wing tops. It will be for a 13 plate defender, RH aerial hole, 3mm thick plain Ally unless you can convince me there is some benefit in anodised silver? I will need the countersunk stainless screws and foamy bits to go between plate and wing. Do you do the rivnuts? preferably with a couple spare so I can set the tool up correctly. If not, no problem as I can source the rivnuts locally.
Thanks,
John. 2.2 90 XS
