Transition from 90 to 110
So I finally made the change from a 90 to a 110. Could not be happier right now! Had a 90 and was cruising round looking something like this:



Then I sold her and she looked like this:

For some reason the photos of the 110 are being a pain to upload, but anyway here goes a 4th and final try!

On Monday she arrived and now looks like this:

Couldn't be happier with the final result (for now Twisted Evil !!!) Thoroughly enjoying cruising round looking a little bit more badass in the bigger version!

Thanks! Basically it's connected to a rear view camera and parking sensors that the previous owner had on. Not something I'd ever think about adding myself as to me it seems a touch unnecessary, but now it's on I do love it! Just need to work out what's close and what's TOO close in the image!

More details on the mirror and small issues I've had with it here

But thanks for the comments! I'm pretty pleased with it. I think the black wingtops definitely go better with the black paint than the anodised silver ones.

Now just to resist adding anything else for a while... Whistle

? sorry Zagger lost me there.

the 110 , dur to it's wheel base and extra carrying capacity will always rule over a 90. The 90 is great for the twisty stuff but not at overlanding particulary or carrying stuff.

Grey on the other hand is a great hue, hides the dity well, classy and not brash.

I was thinking of maybe taking her off the road as well a little bit Wink

I don't want to alarm you Zag as I know that's where dirt lives, but I'll do my best to get her back to this stage when I can!

Thanks TD5_dan, I have to say, having started with the silver ones it took me a while (and a thread asking for people to show me theirs) to decide on the black, but now I've got it I couldn't be happier!
