For me there's no question, has to be Keswick and Sand (or Limestone if you can get) with matching wheels! Saw one this week and it looked stunning! But that's just my opinion Thumbs Up



I'll also have to look out for some Wolf/HD steel wheels. The 90 I'm buying has the standard puny steels which I don't think suit at all.

Sand it is then Thumbs Up 110 DCPU

I have plans for mine and they are all related to getting a more vintage look.

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with Keswick, Sand roof and Limestone wolfs.

I'd also order a set of these whilst you're putting your order in:-

If we start getting some really hot weather again, those vinyl seats in your soft top are going to get really warm Mr. Green

Was thinking about taking a drive over to collect the parts....do you think the cage / hoop set would fit in the back of an A4 Avant? 110 DCPU

No idea, I'd guess so (disassembled) but as mine was already on the truck when I bought it, I wouldn't want to say. I'd give SD, or Exmoor, a call and ask the question. Thumbs Up

As soon as I'd posted the question I thought it was a silly one to ask Smile

Unless massively over packaged I'm sure it'll be ok. 110 DCPU

Roof is this one:-

Defender 90 Full Stayfast Hood - in my case, the one without the side windows

Morning Mr Fox.

Just an update, this apparently isn't the hood. To fit with the Safety Devices hoop set you have to order the XS Hood Kit. Although not on their website, you can order without Alpine windows and side windows etc.

At least this is what Exmoor Trim are telling me. 110 DCPU

All I can tell you is that that hood, down to the way the zips are placed, the buckles on the top, are all identical to my hood design. With that said, Exmoor should know best and perhaps they make the hood slightly taller to accommodate the hood bars of the SD cage.
