I have even a bit more of the same on my SVX, and apart from having excellent front light quality in all weather circumstances, I also get constant thumbs up from other Defenders, but also from many pedestrians, so looks like taste and colours are not really something which can be discussed Click image to enlarge You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

I love it personally and have done since the very first picture I saw of the SVX Well done it looks awesome |

Ah!
I wanted to do my project for the reasons (Outback Engineering driving missions): Project related 1. more modern front design for the Outback Engineering Edition Defender but remaining true to the overall Land Rover Design 2. add design integrated driving lights General OE philosopy 1. Think overall upgrade (mechanical, technical, styling, confort) without falling into Fast and Furious style effect or decrease the reliability (Indeed, increasing it), and execution must be equal or superior to LR standard (not so difficult same times) and it should look like "factory made" 2. unique Defender 3. I like to think/project/realize upgrades for my car (how next??) and fo my Customers.... 4. always with an eye to the Italian Style According to your opinion am I succeeding?

Yes, you are succeeding very well You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Don't worry about our opinions. It's your car and if you like it, it's great.

I'm not worried, the "taste" is personal, we are only discussing............ But I'd like to "ear" your opinion because, same times, it is only an hobby at the moment, I sell my accessories/modifications with te OE mark Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition IID Pro MV License |

This recent mod isn't to my taste either, but I do like most of the other things that you have done and I appreciate your documenting them all here so that anyone else who wants to follow in your footsteps can more easily.
Thank you. |

I reckon it looks better in that colour and with the LED headlamps, but still not to my taste. Nice work though. Being able to work outside sat on a deckchair!!!! Grrr.
The wheels on the other hand.... drool |
