Hey Rog,
Mate that is going to look just amazing when all is done! Wheels V nice! And OEW is a great match... I too think perhaps Limestone is a touch too 'creamy'... You have caused me some confusion with this now!! Ditching the 'Heritage' was obviously a bitter pill... but what you now have is truly unique and very special! Looking forward to seeing the end result... UT are indeed a great bunch of skilled and passionate guys! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

I had those from UT on my 110!
Easy to fit and look great too! The same on the back. They are also available as LED with coloured lenses to keep the same look. Side benefit is the new relay enables the 'trailer flasher' to be turned off! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

The width and offset of the Challengers are awful IMHO, they do seemed to have change the design to uniform spokes but wonder about the offset which used to look horrendous? Hutchinsons are eye-wateringly expensive. Keep your eyes peeled perhaps for a set of 'Hen's Teeth' Mach 5s or go with the idea of HD Wolfs which would be more in-keeping with the style and great work you and UT have been carrying out. Did you not chase up the ones you had provisionally inquired about from Rhinopower81? http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic33522.html?highlight=mach+5 If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Thank you for the compliment, it is much appreciated... The wheels were a compromise choice to be honest, in as much as I could not make up my mind, cannot afford two sets and wanted something different... And there is no way I could run to Hutchinsons, not that I would as I don't really like the look of them tbh...
Appreciate the kind comments Mal... Not sure what you mean about the awful offset though, to be honest, but I haven't seen them in the flesh fitted yet... That'll be tomorrow's job... Rog... The GREEN One... MY2016 Urban Truck Build Thread - http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40548....al[/color] |

Love this, would love to see it in the flesh as almost identical to my plans. But won't be as fast a transformation!!

I was at a Defender show near Sydney last weekend and there was a 90 Heritage there...
... with AC, cold climate, side steps, and lost of other factory 'standard' items! WHY they could not make these Celebration models the same is just perplexing! Still love it though! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |
