Rolling with laughter ill keep that in mind. The good thing about defenders, they look good no matter clean or dirty.

Had the roof lining and sun visors trimmed in black suede the other day and decided that the rear side panel trims would look nicer if they matched so i decided to paint them in matt black and i must say they look very nice. I will add some pictures when its all built up, hopefully at the weekend after I have fitted the dynamat.

Well ive been here a while now, ive had a fair few older Defenders but I decided to make the jump from a 300tdi to the new 2.2 xs and so far im liking it, although it hasnt been without its troubles. Now that im about to hit the 3000 mile marker I though that I would show it to you guys.

So far I have added 30mm spacers, colour coded Kbx grill and light surrounds, black boosts with BFG AT's, tinted windows and some colour coded mirror covers left over from my previous defender. Ive just got a nas rear step but just need to paint the crossmember before it goes on.

Next mod when funds permit will be a front bumper with DRLs from FCX. Then who knows.

Finally uploaded a picture of my interior plastic window surrounds, all painted in matt black to match the black roof lining. They look great fitted just cant get a decent picture with the tinted windows and dark interior.

Did you paint the interior plastic trim yourself or get someone else to do it?

I'm wanting to get my interior black but don't want it to look to look badly done if I try myself. Defender 90 - Tomb Raider LE
Discovery 5 HSE - yes, even despite the ugly backend.

It was a Professional job, did a test on one of the small surrounds first, looked good but was a little too shiny for my liking so had some more paint mixed with a little more matting agent and it did the trick nicely. Covered well and does not seem to scratch easily.

I did paint the plastics in my 300tdi myself with satin black spray paint and i was happy with the way they turned out. But wanted the perfect finish for the 2.2 Thumbs Up
