I know, I know ...  I considered correcting that, but then the spacing between flags would be wrong, and I would have to do all of them. Since some years ago I have had stickers specially made for all countries in my planning, I would have to have them all made again. So for now I let it be, may be some day later... Sorry Eric  Cheers, Vincent

So much for my 2015 history, here is a little preview of the visible part of a mod planned already last summer for 2016.
Took months to design and tailor produce this reliability upgrade, but all is ready to roll now. Rolling will be after all the risk of salty roads to Uhldingen-Mühlhofen will have evaporated again.

Well, my list is quite short, car is only 3 month old.
- Wheel's spacers. - Interior LED bulbs. - Tarnscheinwerfer. - Removed bumper end caps. - Snow cowl. - Reverse LED bulbs. - Silver turn signal bulbs. - Better headlamps bulbs. - haversack on rear door for small items. - Bosh Aero wiper blades. Still a few to go. |

Dan, the box arrived in good order.
Regretfully Swiss customs did not put a green sticker with mention "Abgabefrei" on it.  Which is as expected of course, the invoice with import VAT will follow in a week or so.
The content looks perfect, you made the right choice out of the various options that were available, it seems just what the doctor ordered to match the SVX interior trim. Looks like installation will be pretty straightforward, just a bit fiddly. Eric Click image to enlarge You never actually own a Defender.

I love that^^
My 110 has been very much neglected for the whole of 2015, because of building the 90. Though she has had Many services.. A full Griffin Exhaust Full Alive Hose kit MUD Interior Light MUD Map Lights Poor  , she will receive a nice shiny galv chassis soon though. 'Because she's worth it' |

Well, the VAT is the least of the problems, if you had it removed by the seller you still save money(8 vs ...) What I really hate and find wrong is the "handling charge" if the value is over 62 CHF (including shipping) |

I would have thought that there would be sufficient interest amongst us to have a bag like this made. |
