That's noteworthy. Thumbs Up

I wish they'd get rid of those nasty rear sliding calipers.

I can’t make my mind up on the square, it restricts visibility but also it breaks up the expanse of glass.

I think it’s colour dependant but in my personal opinion I don’t think it suits the 90 as much as it does the 110.

I think the square is just another blind spot to try and see round, a bit pointless. Thumbs Up

Says he, thinking about the HT model. Laughing

Yeah I think I’ll stick with all glass.

I’m surprised the HT doesn’t come with clearsight rear view as standard.

I am having the same problem...I’ve just deleted it off my order after seeing so many without and also cars without the square have black gloss A pillars whereas square have body coloured A pillars. I kind of wish they hadn’t given us the option because both look good tbh. One major flaw is you lose visibility for rear passengers and that is definitely going to be a negative when selling the car on imo

Still got to see any pics that look like the side window blanks can be removed. The bulkhead doesn’t look too difficult to whip out but I’d bet the window bits have been put in with a good squirt of glue. Shocked Shocked

Yes it was talking about the V8 model. Also read today there is two V8 models only coming on the 90, one on standard defender model and the other an SVR the latter being more powerful and probably have few design and engineering changes.

Watched that last night. Thumbs Up Been searching for any and all pics of the interior. This one suggests removal of the bulkhead may well be easy enough but the window blanks may be a bit more of an issue.

Anyone any idea when 90HTs are due to hit the showrooms?

How about rigging up false floor that goes over the rear seats?

Going that route I’d prob whip out the seats and go from there. I really like the storage in the underfloor area of the HT, a multitude of stuff can be stored there. How I work it with the Engel I haven’t figured out yet. Confused
