been hit and miss with them,
had a lot of trim done with them, sun visors took about 9 months to complete, Recaro's where trimmed in the wrong colour and then proceeded to tell me it was due to the other car spending lots of time out in the sun... (I then found pics of the said car in build and when arguing my point got fobbed off basically... I stood there and pointed this is the colour I wanted in the beginning.) sometimes excellent sometimes 
quality of work is excellent tho. |

Thanks for that, if we go down such a route its going to be important to have an exact statement of works drawn up as the list will likely be long and my OCD will be in danger of kicking in if things are not as agreed. 9 months turnaround is slightly concerning.
What we saw looked excellent quality, the demonstrators felt solid and well put together which was slightly surreal being a defender  110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Have an agreed statement of works, parts list with coatings and timelines. If they go over you get a hefty discount. Also ask for a weekly update. Either call or photos emailed to monitor progress.

Went to them on recommendation for a reduced thickness steering boss for a 2008 110. They had someone out straightaway to confirm the number of splines while SHMBO and myself were given a tour . Four years later and I'm still waiting for the part which they said would be ready in four weeks and 10 weekly phone calls to chase up. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

The above reports don't exactly give glowing reports. I spoke to them three years ago asking for a quotation for work - still waiting

Previous owner had sports seats trimmed in custom colours. Came, after a long wait, done in wrong stitching colour though he still kept the seats and swapped original back in for the sale to me so he can’t have been that dissatisfied. Apparently they offered an exchange with a 6-9 month wait so he put up with the wrong colour and settled on free postage or something nominal on a set of wheels. He didn’t say nice things about them.

RDR,
mine was confirmed in multiple emails and it still turned up wrong, even when they sent the (carcass?) before its put onto the Recaro's I raised my concern the colour was wrong... I am thinking about having them undercoat the defender but don't know if ill bother, have a galv chassis already sat in the barn |

Firstly, I have no personal experience so only pass on what I've read on here and other social media platforms. I think people are far more willing to pass on negative comments than positive ones..
Whilst I agree the above it not glowing, you do also hear lots of good reviews of Twisted. Might be worth speaking to Steve1234, who has again had both good and bad comments of them...

Thanks
Yes, I'm trying to get a balanced view and wary of the internets lean towards negatives. The quality really did look excellent when we visited and was very impressed with the service whilst we were there it was a professional well organised place. The cars did to me look and feel special you could see the attention to detail when I shut the door on one and it thunked closed I thought "ooh that's different" Mrs RDR was really taken with them and immediately started reeling off requirements which was a big surprise! 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

A coating of sound deadening will sort that, you should hear my Series doors close 
I get that Twisted are at the forefront of 'Trev'd' up Defenders, though if you have a donor vehicle, it may be worth giving IRB a visit. |

Just to be clear, the quality of the seats I was speaking of was excellent....the previous owner even took them with him, didn’t sell them with the car. I did try to convince him othewise but in the end accepted the standard LR ones and retrimmed them myself. It was just a mistake was made in the colour of the stitching, came white instead of some other colour and the compensation offered in lieu of replacements was deemed a bit underwhelming. |
