So took on the task of opening up the wing top today since the headlights are out. Rather than guess work I printed a profile to tape on and dremel to. Then just a vinyl surround to tidy it up. Just need to make a small plate to deflect a rush of water if I am washing it.

Thanks Paul, Also managed to get a pair of the last Nolden Chrome Gen 1's which more or less completes the front after the winch is set.

I’m going to take a load up to them myself for a 90 I’m going to start building and give them a go.

Thanks for contact ^^^ I gave these guys a try for the re door bolts, arrived next day. Still undecided if i will do all the hinges, black bolts kinda jump out against the white but I definitely need to change the cage bolts out. rustandoil wrote: Have a look here https://www.carbolts.co.uk/?gclid=CjwKCAjw...HcQAvD_BwE  Andy 2014 Fuji 110 SW LS3 https://www.defender2.net/forum/post751233.html#751233 2014 Corris 110 SW http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40056.html My old Xtech 90 build.. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic15681.html LS3 V8 build... http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic49051.html
