Was thinking about mirror backs - but not sure, gloss black or colour coded Red - or stop spending money I can't afford to spend at the moment Laughing Series IIa Lightweight - Long Gone

windows out and back in - £60
Tints - £150
Checker plate - £80ish


Paint:
5 wheels
Grill
Headlight surrounds
Bonnet - full respray
panel under windscreen - full respray
drivers door - respray
local repairs by rear doors
local repairs roof (where previous roof rack had damaged it)
flat & polish all over
dent removal side panel Series IIa Lightweight - Long Gone

You got a lot of that for very good prices, down here most of those prices would be doubled at least! Rolling Eyes TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

That looks really cool. I was quoted from my LR main dealer they could have a set of standard alloys painted in gloss black for £60 each which I thought sounded a good price. I ended up choosing the duel finish alloys instead but was very tempted. They look great and its so much cheaper than upgrading to the saw tooth alloys.

Very nice Thumbs Up id go for red mirror covers, they stand out more and you would notice that the are colour coded. Lus they would contrast nicely against the black mirror arms
