Agree on the NAS Steve - kinda looks nekkid without... Rolling Eyes

As for side steps, don't like them , would have to be runner steps for my money, but what would suit? Rog... Mr. Green

I'm going to have a chat with Dan at Duckworths and see what side steps he recommends.
I do agree that what goes on must easily come off.
I won't be carpeting the rear but I will be getting the rubber yacht decking for the rear tub.
Made to measure and easy lift out and clean but looks like marine wood decking.
Been done before but I like the look.

Then a total respray in dark bronze green ( only joking )

United Kingdom 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Keswick Green
If I bought one (and yes i did think about it) then no I don't think I would have added aftermarket add-ons. I would have specced a few factory fit options though.

I suspect that anyone buying one as an investment and wanting maximum return in the future will want to keep it as delivered, as mods will devalue it to a collector. 2011 110 USW

But there are no factory fit options to be specced... Shocked

They will make it to any size and being marine flooring you can hose it.

And it comes in GREEN... Bow down

When you say 'make it to any size, do you mean the cut it to fit the Defender load space, including securing ring cut-outs... Question  Rog... Mr. Green

Hi Rog.
They make it what ever shape you want as long as you give them the dimensions.

May be we can get a few done together Thumbs Up

Not sure on the production line tolerance on HT tub measurements.
Will make them 5mm smaller just incase Laughing

Why would be nice is to get an official template for the LR one and get it done to that.

Steve/Roger,

I would be happy to put my name down for one, particularly if we can get a group discount.
