Why not powder coat the hood hardware black????

Can't beat their detail though. Sinhue Xavier has one on order, check his photos out.

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

I'm biased in favour of black but like Stacey, don't like the grille. Galvanised bumper looks good with the black though. Not sure about the brown trim combined with the black. My mother always told be me never to wear brown shoes with a black, grey or navy suit and I guess that's stuck with me ever since. Defender 90XS SW

Agree. The grill is nasty on the black

That does look stunning, personally, I really like the galv hoops, not sure why one of them is powder coated black?

I agree the grille is not to my liking either. James

Nice truck. Grill looks like a after thought 👎

Yeah, I guess they're trying to make it as retro as possible and give it a series feel 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

And a proper Gentleman would never "wear brown in town"

I'm going to go against the flow and say I don't like it. A lot of their trucks are very nice but this one is neither one thing nor the other. Black has never been a 'vintage' colour for Land Rovers and the mix of black and galv on this just looks odd, IMHO. Darren

I tend to agree with LRA, a nice proper vintage colour would be much better with the galv bits.
