Gross 
We are expecting it to be the wrong colour, spec and possibly wrong model. So far the 'service' has been less than brilliant. |

Yes I am back again
 because I am pulling out all the stops to get a particular XS example and if I pull it off by some miracle I will be VERY pleased to put pictures up on the 28th of this month - a big fingers crossed!! It will only have about 500 miles on the clock.
Back to Nellie though this is her thread! |

Very nice!
I actually prefer white steels to the silly Boost alloys (which are made of cheese). Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

Looks fantastic - congratulations! Shrink wrap it now to keep it looking like that!
Where would be the fun in that though? Enjoy it! I'm sure you will. |

Us Td5 owners have painted rivets, but they don't stay like that for long! They turn to a nice shade of rust, which is nice. My actual colour description is 'Tonga Green with a hint of rust'. All the bolts in the rear crossmember / towbar were painted black on Td5's as well weren't they? They are on mine anyway. Noticed that on Puma's these are now all silver. |
