Much better, I really like them, I find the regular dual finish just doesn't sit right on a defender, too sharp/shiny..

It was more down to costs, a refurb to the existing finish was twice the price of powdercoating satin black. I am thinking about picking out the word Defender in Orange. To be decided...

If you were to colour code the "defender" writing, it might look good? 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

Oh, I don't know, a few orange highlights on a grey Defender can look quite good... Whistle

That is an interesting thought.... I like that idea. I am also thinking about a black roof to provide some further contrast.
