It is part of the matt black SVX stickering...

Having spent rather more than SWMBO thinks on a new engine and associated "necessary" bits (BAS intercooler new turbo, VCV, Nakawotsit wing to airbox pipe ++) and treated the Defender to new BFG's a couple of weeks ago I've now had the A/C condenser replaced prior to a trip to Italy next week. It may be a bit warmer there!
I never name my vehicles but I recon this one is female, she can never have too much attention  |

Any thoughts on that? Worthwhile upgrade? Not just the Naka inlet and pipe, but just generally having the extra mm in the air pipe, even if DIY ? Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

When I met Pete Bell (BAS) he looked at my OEM RAI and said that it restricted/ reduced airflow, so after further research it seemed to me that replacing the restrictive standard pipework with the larger bore Nakathingy would return airflow to standard or better, and keep a properly sealed RAI.
Given all the other stuff that happened at the same time as fitting it it's difficult to know if it, by itself, made a difference. But, getting back to the principles of pre-ECU tuning, smoothing and increasing airflow always seemed to help. |

Went to give the Def a hose down, not a full wash, to remove a bit of rain sand marks. Got a bit distracted by a small area only for the timer to finish and me discover I was out of coins. I now have a half clean, half sandy Def. Fool.

Delivered it at the dealer this morning for the greasable hinges installation. Curious to see the result when I pick it up again tomorrow.
BTW - Just got an e-mail from a UK based supplier who also has those same greasable hinges added to his assortment now. Gareth Williams from Defender Upgrades. Maybe of use to some on here.

Yes i have looked at that a lot lately and i have seen a few painted and imo it does not look right, so the plan is in the future when the cage has to come off for some reason, i will get the whole lot shot blasted, then galvanised and then powder coated, but at the moment, i will call it patina as williamthedog has pointed out  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

I’ve just purchased some terrafirma TF705 lights for my A bar.
Is it possible I could wire them into the same switch as my light bar that comes on with the full beam, or would it have to be a separate switch, again to come on with the full beam? Also got a NAS LED reverse and fog light to fit which should be easier. |

Yes, I suppose so. It's the metal kind, reasonable condition, as seen below. Are you interested? Drop me a pm if so. Click image to enlarge |
