2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Zambezi Silver

To mod or not to mod??

Hey all,
I’ve had a long history of defenders and currently own a td5 90 which is my play thing and after saving the pennies a few months ago I got my dream, a 2012 110 CSW XS in silver.
I absolutely love it but the Mrs isn’t at all keen even though she loves the td5 (weirdo) so it’s got to go.
It’s pretty standard with low miles but I had intended to mod it to give it a bit of character so I’ve got a few bits lying around to add, Mantec snorkel, 18” boosts with MT tyres, steering guard etc.
Do you folks think it’s be worth adding these bits in a bid to increase the selling price or keep it as is and sell the bits seperate??

Sell the bits separately -they won’t add to its value

That's what I figured really but the LR market is an odd one sometimes

Saying that, there’s plenty of people adding shiny bits to otherwise standard Land Rovers and asking a small fortune for them, most noticeably Land Rover themselves so I wouldn’t rule it out!

It’s easy to forget that some of the people that are new to Land Rovers don’t know the first thing about modifying vehicles and are happy to pay for something that’s already been done and just looks good to them.
