Finally, my defender
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.

CR - love the colour but its difficult to keep it looking good.

Gum97 - thanks im very pleased with th way its looking

MartyM - Well it took a while to find someone who would do it, it seems that in general most people wont touch them. Zahy very kindly recommended the company who did his however i contacted the fitter local to me and he again refused to do it. In the end I found a guy who said he would give it a go, and a very nice job he did too. On my 300tdi I did it myself but I stripped all of the windows down to ensure a quality job.

Very Happy I was unsure about the wheels at first, wondered if it was all too much thats why I didnt spend money on sawtooth alloys. But The more I look at it the more I like it.

There's only one thing and it is minor. But I wouldn't be happy with the wheel balance weights on my nice alloys. Only minor but a pet hate of mine.
