2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

Mud Stuff Dirt Defenders, front and rear. Not expensive and they do keep things clean for longer, especially with wider tyres. Not bling but useful.

Good shout DSC!

I just googled them and seems they have been previously fitted I my 110 but must have been taken off for some reason?

^ I like these

however part of me still thinks around £80 for a front and rear set still sounds a lot?

How do they fit with mini rivets?

If I got them can a gun such as this work to fit?

Another idea would be a Scanguage, or this and the dirt things for around £150 I've not set mine up properly yet but like the digital speedo and rev counter anyway

Flatdog are selling the LED headlights I bought for £50 less, at £249. They look awesome fitted as they have black innards.

Couple that with a KBX black grille and you're well on your way.

How's the light pattern/performance on these? Cheapest "Legal" LED option I have seen, and already planning an order for a Roof rack from Flatdog anyway.

One of the little and quick things we did to our Defenders, and the one I really missed when driving the new one which we had not got round to fitting them to, was the MUD Blind spot mirrors. So much so that I insisted we included them in our webshop so that people had the chance of getting them combined with orders from us and not have to bother with two lots of shipping.

At £35 each, they are not a major purchase but well worth it

110-U, I can't think why anyone would take them off. I have seen some old ones that have faded, maybe that's it. I got smooth ones that can be painted, if they fade they'll get painted later.

Stacey, I thought they were a bit expensive too, but they work and are easy to fit. The other option would be a Gwynn Lewis kit to reposition the mudflaps, not sure on the price of those.
The rivets are supplied with the Mud Defenders. I used a riveter similar to that one, it worked fine. To be sure there was no gap between the sill and the plastic defender, I clamped it with mole grips first. That also helps when drilling the holes.

Ok so if I wanted to get Black chequer plate for my wings, do I want anodised or powder coated?

Anywhere you can recommend to get it?

Lots on eBay etc but no idea of the quality.

Do I want/need the gasket kit too?

Thanks
