Indeed! Although they don't show up particularly well in the photo it certainly makes the rear lights look much fresher  2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon 1990 Vogue SE Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Td5 90 Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50767.html Tdi 110 Thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic69562.html RRC Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54492.html Instagram http://www.instagram.com/george_grafton

What a brilliant thread. just sat here for ages reading it all. A great job well done! I have recently had a go with mine but no where near as detailed, deep or good looking. I also painted myself but got a lot of the dreaded orange peel so its off to a pro when the pennies allow. How easy was separating the bonnet shell? Also I note you sprayed at different times - how did you ensure proper colour match? No mods for me yet but thinking of wheel spacers as a start. Anyway well done again it looks fantastic Mine is a little less impressive Sir.

Thank you! Yours looks good to me! It's quite easy to separate the bonnet frame and skin, just drill out the spot welds on the back edge then drill the rivets on the front. Mine has an aluminium frame and steel skin. I think the later ones were all steel. I just bought 5L of base coat to ensure a colour match. That way all the panels were painted from the same tin of paint  2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon 1990 Vogue SE Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Td5 90 Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50767.html Tdi 110 Thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic69562.html RRC Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54492.html Instagram http://www.instagram.com/george_grafton

Nothing much to report on the Range Rover. Still going well and adding the miles. Clicked over to 94k miles today.
