This is my own attempt at making these defenders "posh"....
Every now and then I get he opportunity to squeeze some components out for my beloved black shed on wheels. I don't often get the chance to work with Ali so I try to make the most of it. 
So far I've only done a few Parts: - Vent flap  Click image to enlarge -Fuse panel cover bolts Click image to enlarge -Gear and Transfer box Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge -Interior Door handle bezel Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge -95mm Rear light Plinths Click image to enlarge I Will be updating this as I go along. 4.0 V8 Defender 90 My Instagram |

Stunning work. You could be earning from these skills, and Defenders.

Thank you very much.
 
I am a machinist but I typically produce very different work compared to this here.  4.0 V8 Defender 90

90% of work is with super alloys and some stuff we're not even told of what it consists of

A good idea, I still have to machine one for the passenger side so i'll probably give them both a polish then. 4.0 V8 Defender 90

Cheers Procta.
I have considered about making a page to sell them on but I can't really find the time to make more than a handful, and thats for the more basic kit. 4.0 V8 Defender 90

Not sure if this is so much 'posh' stuff for the Defender. More like good quality durable utilitarian kit that most of us would like to have!!!!
Keep up the good work and then outsource to a worthwhile local maker |

Agreed, Can't have too much "shiney shiney" or cheap plastics". Ends up being a bit much.
Not a bad idea on outsourcing 4.0 V8 Defender 90 My Instagram |
