I can stand the muck up the sides ok, its the back end!

Drive it for a week and your rear end turns into a thick layer of salty road grime. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

The Gwyn Lewis kit is great, it protects the outriggers also with a plastic plate.

Matt.,,,Just been looking at Gwyn's kits,,
When it gets used heavy off-road or trips away, the std flaps get removed,,,But i do like a lot of Gwyn's kit, used a fair bit ,,,his wheel box mud shields look good,,

Some of Kevin's Dirt defenders may do what i need better ?? will see how mod plan A works first California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1
