Thanks for your kind words everyone. Having deliberately bitten the bullet on the most expensive mod first, I now need to prioritise the next step for a couple of months time when funds have recovered from the wheel purchase. Warranty runs out in November, so following final LR Dealer service in a couple of weeks time, the path is clear for me to mess about a bit.
I'm thinking BAS 170 remap (don't think I can justify/need/afford intercooler upgrade as well) or Bowler lightweight bumper + steering guard in black (similar to M33UFO) or Flush glass for sides and rear from Masai or VGS (like Riverboy, SuliSuli and Bristol90XS have) or Crystal headlights + bulb upgrade (I don't like LEDs personally, purely aesthetic reasons) The headlights can wait, so it will be a question of which of the others gets my hard earned in Aug/Sept time... Hmm, decisions, decisions |

Look at the D44 bumper with Lazer RS-4s
Its the best bumper IMHO. Others will disagree of course. 
Steering guard is Raptor 4x4. Not black but great quality and looks good.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge As for the panoramic glass if you go for that, look at VGS over Masai. Not that there is anything wrong with the Masai product, its great, its purely that Masai have terrible customer service and do not deserve any business. That is purely my opinion of course and I do have zero tolerance for bad customer service. |

I agree with Riverboy, I would go VGS next time. The previous owner went for the Masai glass its ok the fitting wasnt!!
The feedback on VGS here ia all very positive but before that you have to do the remap 2015 HT XS 90

A simple but important job completed - the switch to Bowler wheels exposed rusty hub nuts. After some tips from others I made the change to hex head nuts and then applied a couple of coats of paint. Simple but hopefully will last and prevent damage to the wheels (compared to the original sharp edged bolts).

Have you got that remap yet? I can't recommend the BAS 170AB highly enough, it really is a total transformation
