2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Epsom Green

Which door hinges?

I've got a 110 CSW, with knackered front door hinges. I've already replaced the rear door with optimill hinges and really like them. What should I replace the front doors with.... Optimill or Croytec?

Since the Optimill ones are slightly different will I need to touch up the door paint?

Thanks

Richard

Optimill all the way! I have them on all doors and can't rate them highly enough.

And my ocd would say you have to match your rear door hinges!

Thanks folks, Alex did you have to re-paint the doors? Was there paint marks since the hinges are different shape?

Cheers

Hi, Fitted Optimill all round on my defender and would recommend them, great quality.
Paintwork required no touching up.

No painting needed. They seem to take up the same shape/area as originals. Some gaskets may be able to take up any slight differences.
