Fitted Some Carbon Fibre Bits

Hi All,

I recently fitted some carbon fibre bits to my 110, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm quite pleased with it.

I've fitted a KBX Grill, Air Intake Vent, Carbon Mirror Heads and the Wing Vents. Also fitted LED lights all round including Headlights.

Next job on the list is a DRL bumper.

Well thank you! All in all for the Carbon bits came in at £600 but got the Headlights for £50 off a friend. The LED light kit was £150 🙈🙈

At that price I'd definitely go for some unique security screws.

Hello JC80,
Perhaps you like carbon look and like idea of this gadget on my car?
I ask because I consider to produce this gadget for a friend who also has defender now and can not locate the item supplier.
I imagine I can produce one or two but if his search is no fruit soon. It is not real carbon fiber but faux.

That's what I was thinking but when I saw how much it all cost I thought I'd better be quiet. Ray

First and foremost the mirrors are not carbon, they are some "plastic effect" and cost £22.99 on ebay

With regards to the top vents and side vents, I doubt these are actual carbon and simply overlayed with carbon. I can't see that costing near 600 quid!
