hi Paul - welcome to the forum, what's that on the roof of your 90?

Unfortunately I'm not going on the l2b, last minute stuff cropped up, so while waiting for the phone to ring I fitted some SVX LED indicators and some 8700s, installed with duralac paste.

Sunday, I fitted some security to the sankey - cheers Rob Thumbs Up

and fitted the FCX DRL bumper to the 110 - had to remake the loom so that it fitted properly, took about 3 hours to fit.

That's correct. The roof heightening panel is a "Dutch tax optimizer" Whistle
Recently there was an entire thread where Dutch car taxes were highlighted, can't find the link now anymore. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I'm doing some upgrades at the moment:
Today i polished my Defender and applied som tyre gel. Got the matt black wrap on the roof and bonnet + the wheels black powder coated earlier this week.

I'm waiting for a Blacksheep rear cross member, new winch bumper, black TD5 decal, mudflaps and leather Recaro Specialist M seats to arrive.

Still doubt whether to wrap the rest of the Defender in Bonatti grey or Java black, i to keep it this way..........

What is your opinion? Very Happy


Welcome Paul, looks great. I think wrapping the rest in matte grey would look great... A bit like the G-star Raw Defender?

If you mean the raised roof, that has to do with the tax authorities in the Netherlands. Several adjustments are required if you are driving a passengers car as a van (less tax). One of the requirements is that the roof of the loading space has to be 25 centimeters higher than the door opening from driver of passenger................. Big Cry
