Haven't done any upgrades to the 110 recently, been just enjoying the truck. Until now - a rather nasty mod to her
 Just when I thought time for fun additions after recovering from security measures costs... was very painful, but thought I should not share only the singing and dancing additions but also the sour moments  Trying to sort out how to fix her now.

Buy a take off wing and just bolt it on. It'll probably be cheaper than repairing and a much quicker job too. Ray

That does look a bit "painful". How did it happen? Hope you get a good fix asap, Pickles. |

Very good point - a replacement part is most likely to happen. Working on that now.
I was getting out of the way of an obstacle and hit a cut back tree trunk hidden in a leafy hedge/bushes - luckily was driving very very slowly. Still the impact looked scary. But hoping to have it sorted rather sooner than later. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html MY16 Santorini 90 HT - sold |

Thanks for sympathy, I hope so too - the sooner it's out of my sight the less of an idiot I feel
 Seeing UT tomorrow as I have a small mod lined up with them so will see what would they suggest to do as well. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

owwww i'm wincing from here...
Deffo a new outer wing needed. price up a few estimates, It is a simple bolt on job so maybe get a body shop to spray a new wing up and get a local garage to do the swap or maybe yourself if you are feeling handy with the spanners. Hope it's sorted soon... |

Just put a club hammer on the inside and tap it out gently.

Some would say (as above) its adds character...also as a friend said about my last, put a dent in it then you wont be bothered using it properly!
I cant say i agree though Mike |
