Mods you have done.... But Mods still on your List
I have to say one of the beauties of owning a Defender (over and above water dripping on your leg when it rains) is the fact it’s like a big lego truck you can add, change, and modify to suit.

My defender is currently in its 5th Year with me. I've changed all sorts over this time. Most have been mods I have done, others it’s gone in the Garage for, but EVEN now there is a list of stuff I would like...

In no Particular order Mods I would still like to do :-


Heated Mirrors
Puddle Lights
18" Wheels & new tyres (will be soon once I decide what)
LED front Headlights (too much choice, will decide in summer)
Alloys handles all round
Up-rated hinges, bonnet, bulkhead fixing
Plastic ‘A’ frame bumper (have but need brackets)
Cruise Control
Front Jet wash system
Rear number plate bulb holder with camera
Led Light on A frame
Uprated Speakers / Amp
Wishful thinking – LS3 - Auto





Mods done

Re-Map
Autobiography front seats
Leather trim bits covered to Match
Double Din Radio
Leather startech wheel
Rear camera / Dab / GPS
Fire & ice all black side steps
Tuff Rox Mud flaps, stainless brackets
Sump protector
Stainless bolts (not everywhere)
Led interior lighting
Led lights (except headlights)
KBX front grille
Stainless A/C surround and bolts
B6 Suspension BILSTEIN
up-rated ARB
Rear door Stay
Rear seat recliners (Far corners)
Poly bush kit all round
Silent coat sound proofing 80% done
Colour coded front bumper
Colour coded mirror cover
Terraferma Panhard Rod
Slotted / grooved Discs all round
Alloy fuel cap

Germany 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Baltic Blue
After doing (and sometimes undoing) almost everything imaginable to my 7 seater 110 SW over the last 10 years, the only thing left that I really want to do is convert it to a softtop (rollcage etc.) but it costs about 10,000 euros to get it done properly here, registered etc. so Wifey says we have to win the lottery first Rolling Eyes Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

I've got stuff stacked up in my garage just waiting for time and weather Rolling Eyes Off the top of my head, that includes:

Snorkel
Provent
Headlight wiring loom
Twin rear cameras
Side steps
Internal bulkhead and dog guard
Rear storage
Spot lights
Towing socket relocation
Suspension hardware upgrade

Quite a lot of it requires things to be made (brackets, wiring looms, etc), which slows down my rate of progress considerably. Darren

Can i ask. Are the rear seat recliners worth it. Never sit in the back and £125 for a bit of bent bar does seem a bit steep.
Are there any other mods on your list that are not massively expensive but you'd give them an 7-8/10 upwards.
I've nearly completed my list, (Tune coming up) so looking for a few new few not massively expensive mods.

Mods I would still like to do :-
5.0L supercharged V8 conversion (603 BHP) retaining manual box.
With oil prices in negative the fact you would get 10 miles to the gallon works for you. The more you drive the more they owe you. Laughing

It's the RAIDS I believe, but it's about 4 years ago now. Since upgrading the rear springs, and Koni's all around, i love the ride of the 110... drives like my old Disco TD5 Smile Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
