I'm sitting on the fence....
I sort of like it but also not sure...... I appreciate the work and your fitting guy seems very good !! What's the view like inside looking behind you? also does this conversion mean its now a 2 seater as you mention the seatbelts are taken out at the rear? I think it will grow on me.... |

I love the panoramic look on black defenders but on any other colour it just looks odd imo, but if you like it, that's all that matters Ray

I realise it's not everyone's taste, but I love it. I have now decided a black roof would diminish the impact of the wraparound glass so will keep it body coloured.
I removed the rear seats when I first got it as I need the space for dogs, guns, kit etc on the shoot. As they are no longer in the car there's also no need to have seatbelts bolted to the tub floor. I've kept every last nut, bolt and fastener should I ever need to re-convert though. The view from inside is almost the same as before in terms of glass area, the side windows no longer have the frame so they are a bit bigger, the glass is clearer all round and it feels very spacious, maybe because there is no longer the frame in the centre of the side panels (vertical) 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Brilliant, looks ace! I've had Dave's glass on mine for a few years now, and it's the best mod I've done! An engine to TDi for!

I like it.. Although I decided not to do the rear as I don't like the cut out around the hinge. It's always a huge decision to go for the landyglass, it was more stressful for me as I had to cut the holes out!!
Enjoy. New headlining with make a huge difference.

Not really my cup of tea, BUT, there is no doubt that Dave is the man for the job. Has anyone ever had an adverse word to say about this guy?....I don't think so. The finished job has created one very smart Defender for you, & I absolutely agree with your choice of leaving the roof silver,....would've been too much "Black", had you repainted, IMHO. So congrats on your absolutely pristine Defender. It's always rewarding when you plan something, & it works out the way you want it, isn't it. Regards, Pickles. |

This is the view from the inside. As these are a proper tinted glass it's very clear and bright.

Looks stunning, if I had a 90 I would want it to look like this.

I put the Sawtooth spare back on (after coating it with Porboys alloy wheel sealant) and then stood back, admired it, and took a photo. Admittedly the driveway is not a scenic place to have the 'end result' shots done so maybe one day I'll find a better location where the lighting is better.

No I am leaving it as is. I can't drill them off easily as they are slightly under the sills, I don't have a bendy drill. They don't upset or offend me. 2016 D4 HSE
