because of above, deleted You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw Last edited by ericvv on 30th Dec 2014 4:31pm.

Scary idea for a thread custom90steve...
but I know the most cost effective, valued modification I have made immediately... 
German made product (don't remember exactly who, but has GmbH markings on the rear) Convexed, Mirrored Polycarbonate Lenes, ABS Body, 50mm diameter, so a perfect size for the standard Defender Mirror. 3M VHB adhesive tape on rear (must have been an off day in the 3M marketing office as VHB stands for very high bond, but it's brilliant stuff, so if it's the right type and correctly applied, they won't fall off). If your the type of driver who 'lives' off your mirrors, then these are a must do mod'. SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html |
