Very cool .. looks great!
Were the calipers painted on it or taken off and sprayed. I have a guy saying he can get really good results in situ but I’m not sure. 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 6HP28X |

Thanks, it has exceeded my expectations.
Really smooth engine with good power delivery. That D300 must be a beast.

Projex carried out calliper painting, gloss red, just to break the black up! They had it fir a few days, I would imagine they removed them but not sure, sprayed on or off I’m happy with result They also suppiled and fitted there own side steps which have puddle lamps and the wheels and tyres. LR dealer painted the front and rear bumpers in gloss black (narvik I think) Cheers Simon I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you 1990 110 TD5 county, my first Land Rover - gone 2012 Discovery 4 XS SDV6 - gone 2014 Discovery 4 XS SDV6 - gone 2015 Evoque SD4 dynamic - Wife’s - gone 2015 Urban Truck 90 XS Santorini Black Hard Top - Reluctantly gone 2020 Discovery 5 Eiger Grey 3.0 SE - gone March 24 2021 Defender S D250 Santorini Black 110 HT - gone March 24 2023 Evoque P300e SE wife’s current vehicle |

That's a great looking truck, Ryderoo. Love all the modifications you have put on it. I'm hoping to get mine on the 23rd. It's getting the bumpers painted on Monday and then some flaps, side steps and cross bars before I pick up.

I also think your side-boards look a little more subtle than the standard JLR side steps that I'm gonna end up with.

Looks really sick, my kids would say
Very nice extra's there, are the wheels giving a firm ride with coil springs or do you have the air suspension? I've stuck with 20's as I've got coils and hate a firm ride but those wheels do look really nice. |

Thanks for the comments.
I have coil springs. To be honest the 100 mile plus drive was not harsh at all. Very composed and quiet. I think it was a better drive than my disco 5 with 22’s. It was a really nice drive home.

Thanks Kubrick1978, I chose the Projex over OEM as I thought they suited the truck better. They have puddle lamps in them. I can’t show you them cos my son took the defender home with him this afternoon! Won’t see it again till Sunday evening, kids eh? Can’t do enough for them!

It looks great and I like the fact that you can't tell that it's a 'van'

And, it doesn’t drive like a Van.
 Cheers Simon
