Hi, l've used Predator Styling for an exhaust system for my 90 V8, a couple a three years ago. Its 2 brothers who used to work for Double S. The reason I used them was because the systems that were available would not fit correctly, so on a recommendation I contacted them and asked if they had a system. As they had just started the business they had not had a 90 V8 to use for measurements so I volunteered mine! Took the V8 down to them, they asked me what system I would like, noise, throatyness etc. It took 2 weeks but ended up with a bespoke system with stainless headers for �800, compared with the previous 'bespoke' system that I had from a local supplier (that fell off on the way down!) the quality of the system is excellent, sounds good looks good I'm very pleased with it. I've got some photies of the headers somewhere I'll fish 'em out if you like. Must say I like your V8, been trying to complete mine for the last 6 years!

I'll try to get one of the whole rear end once the fogs are properly fitted.
That sounds promising! I'd be interested to see the photos too! |

This is a breathtaking Defender, the initial transformation was fantastic already and now the little bits and pieces you are adding are top notch

Cheers jk84! Only thing done this weekend was swap a few little fixings for stainless steel, but I did also order a new galvanised set of hood sticks, new sand coloured canvas, and set of classic "deluxe" seats. Roll on next week ![]() Took a trip to the coast today - this one is turning into my everyday car! ![]() Click image to enlarge |

![]() ![]() ![]() Is it on raised suspension or is that due to the wind under the canvas lifting it a bit !! ![]() |

Another inspirational photo to get mine finished. Ginjez should be getting worried, his 90 may become my 2nd fave 90!!
