A snorkel means drilling, so I would not do it. alloy/silver side grills and bonnet vents, well on an SVX you might regret it. Better to keep the looks high end. You can see below what I have installed on my SVX (a 110 that is), but first thing on my list was the OE soft "A bar" which really enhances the silver coloured grill a lot. If I had to redo it again, my nbr 2 on the list would still be a Alive Tuning NA spec bumper with DRL. Absolute top quality and nice on an SVX with a soft A bar. As to bonnet vents, go for an Entreq black snow cover and a blanket plate on the other side, again absolute top quality. And get that rear cross member painted glossy black asap, looks great and avoids that it will start to look dullish which regretfully all too often a reality. Most important,.... Have fun with all this  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

like Ericvv says, a RAI requires drilling the wing, having said that a genuine LR RAI might be a nice permanent addition.
Stainless vents etc have a look at the sponsors listed above, entreq probably do something and there are suppliers in the UK holding their stock (Leeds) Another option to bling the SVX might be to change the wheels and tyres and keep the genuine ones to put it back to original. |

a mushroom snorkel dont need drilling it screws to the original intake on the side wing and can be held on to the roll cage with a clamp like a p clip
 we do them at work all the time like this its the only snorkel to fit with a cage  |

Mantec RAI gets my vote too
No drilling needed.

why not DE bling it and go for the all black look... murdered out is the term!
i don't like the svx lights etc, although when painted black they look OK, get the alloys powder coated balck and i'll look cool |

Looks like mantec are gonna get a call! although on the website it states that its not suitable for a defender with an external cage.
Landydubai your defender looks awesome,spill the beans on how you fitted it  |
