Matt re-trimmed them in Alcantara to match the roof, but I haven't fitted them back on yet. I was going to do it yesterday when fitting the seats, but didn't have any spare trim tabs Mr. Green New project and it's green: www.projectoverland.info

...And this is what it looks like now. I've added an FCX 'Bentley type' mesh grille (thanks Matt) and KBX headlight surrounds plus a Terrafirma winch bumper & Warn Tabor 12k winch to replace the Warn 9.5ti. I need to fill the holes in the aircon cowl and I'm putting new dyneema rope and an alli hawse on in place of the steel & roller fairlead....

I have some more changes planned which I will let you know about when they get done Thumbs Up


That KBX / mesh grille combo looks awesome! I'm not a big fan of the "all KBX" look, but the headlight surrounds complement the mesh grille perfectly IMHO. Neat and purposeful without being fussy Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Next step. I wanted to break the amount of grey and also add something without spoiling the overall theme. So I spoke with a friend of mine who runs a company in the USA designing and fitting stuff and they came up with this. I know some will like it as much as I do, and of course some won't Laughing

There were a couple of problems. It was designed for my 110 before I got the 130. The hicap tub fold was right on the stripe so they cut it short, rather than run it to the end of the cab area.

And it makes the wheels look small now. Can you believe they are 285/75/16 MT's? Laughing

The black is light reflecting Cool Very Happy
The Defender and 'Go Beyond' wording are also reflective.
