2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Corris Grey

I have got some black chequer plate sill covers but I've yet to put them on.

I looked at the side bars but I'm undecided, at one point I was looking at external cages but the concern is, when does it start looking like a zebra?!

I'd like a roof rack and a 50inch light bar. The latter I think will get some good usage over the winter whilst out logging.

Like you, I'm looking at the soft a bar, but I'd like a winch so I'm looking out for a decent one. The a bar will come after that! But as you rightly point out, it's all good until the cash dries up, the winch and rack alone could easily set me back £2k!

Well a 2m flat rack, with 4 x Lazer 4-spots, is my alternative option to painting the roof black and given that (perhaps with the rear wing bar) would be the sum total of 'black' additions I hope it would keep it on the safe side of 'safari/zebra'. I like the look of a winch, but given I never use them am remiss to stick one on just for the glam. Pointless and expensive and would be as silly as having a 4-point harness in a Saxo. If I was in the wild regularly, or doing competitions, then a chunky Warn under the A-bar would be great. A compromise might be the Masai whinch bumper which has a great robust look, but I think it would mean sacrificing the soft bar....however the orange would look great against the white IMHO:

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

I'd paint the orange guard white

maybe I will end up with a zebra

I have use for the winch, but I'd want a warn, I'd rather buy right than twice! But it's a big expense for something that's only going to see use a few outings a year.

I'm waiting to have this back tomorrow, it's had the airbox modified as well as a complete straight through stainless exhaust. Hopefully that'll make it breath a bit easier and scratch an itch whilst I'm waiting for a 3.2 engine to pop up.

I know what you're saying about the colour, I've found myself dreaming of different colours, I've also considered wrapping it, black and grey camo.........

I notice your last image with the side exit of the exhaust, which would eradicate the "melting mudflap" that I've experienced to some extent on our 90....Aussie exhausts exit the rear (via the Mudflap cutout), which causes the mudflap to get hot/melt, when hot exhaust gases "hit" the mudflap when it "bends up" at speeds of 90-100ks +!!
