My 2015 Defender 90

Hi All,

I've recently part exed my 2010 RR Sport for a 2015 Defender XS and so far I haven't looked back

Looking forward to being part of a car community again, was heavily into classic volkswagens 10 years ago, and was pleasantly surprised that Defender owners give each other a wave just like dubbers do. (To be fair that's what helped sway my decision to buy one on a test drive!)

Had a couple of months, and I've started to modify.. clocked up 4000 miles already! (Can't stop driving it!!) This one's a keeper.

I've made a few mods..I'll update as and when I make changes.

So.. here she is in all her glory (100 miles on the clock)

Ha, if I didn't start now, I never would. I have shopping lists - unfortunately it's addictive (and expensive!!)

Looking good and imho the steering guard really finishes off the front end.

Cheers! Yeah, it really does add a presence to it.

I have a DRL front bumper on it's way I bought from a member on here and hopefully some LED headlights once funds allow after spending "more than my wife thinks" on wheels

Next step is a new front bumper with DRL's. I received it yesterday - and it's off to be stripped and powder coated this week (The "paint" has already scratched off in places)
