Under bonnet blue bits done for now. Until Somebody produces an anodised brake fluid cap 😂
 Click image to enlarge Optimill mirror arms fitted eventually. Had to drill a couple holes on the inside of the door pillar to make a nice neat job of it. All wires are hidden now. Brilliant light output and look the part.

Was that to not hide anything else from the wife Simon?!
Not much of what I have done it needed 😂 but something just makes us do these things 😂 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html Instagram - @r22oyp Roy |

Same. But then I bought a NAS rear step the same day. It doesn’t count if it’s second hand does it! Those arms look awesome. What’s the chances the are £50 a pair?!! |

But out of luck on the price front I’m afraid. The associated wiring loom was like £40 if that counts 😂
They really are a thing of beauty though. The light output is incredible, they’re 20mm longer so ideal if you tow a bit. They fold up in really easy and don’t feel like they’re going to snap off. 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html Instagram - @r22oyp Roy |

Keeping accessories a secret is “exhausting”
They do look very smart and like all things optimill extremely well made, I do have a plan as the mirror arms on Cals defender are showing signs of ageing and the paint is coming off, so perhaps she could have my old ones and I could have a shiny new Optimill set 2015 HT XS 90

You might as well get it over and done with Simon and get them and then you don't have to worry about breaking your promise for the rest of the year  
They are very nice Roy  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

Thanks Zed.
I have some Indus Silver plastic paint but then got undecided about what to do. Think I’m just going to leave it black for now. Maybe go for carbon fibre in the future and change a few other bits to carbon too. (Wingtop protectors, snow cowls. Carpet trims and stuff 🤷♂️ Who knows 😂 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html Instagram - @r22oyp Roy |

Just a quick wash and the eagle eyed if you will be able to spot the minor change 😎
