I was only saying it wasn't ours - I wouldn't want anyone to think I suffer from CLRPD or anything.

Today I finally collected my spare wheel cover with company graphics on, looks good huh?
 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Re the issue about the shape of the front wings, looking at it they do tuck in very slightly at the bottom, and the wing tops are not hoizontal, but it seems this is intentional, as there is a recess in the air-con grille that the wings sit flush with. Its all solid anyway so I can't moan, I guess its just how they are made now for some reason.

Thanks! I'd be lying if I said your double cab didn't help with colour choice! 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Oh and regarding the springs, front ones look to have yellow blobs on, rears I think are brown and purple? Does this mean anything? 2011 110 USW

It has now had its undercrackers plastered in waxoyl, so at least it sholdn't rust. Sadly, for a ten day old car, we did find two little spots of rust starting to come though. 2011 110 USW

If you spray a few panels one day and do the rest the next day the possible different atmospheric conditions can make them come out a noticeably different colour. I know a guy that found this out the hard way and had to strip back and re-do the lot again
An old friend of mine used to work at LR re-spraying panels that had been cocked up through the system - he was out of his tree half the time and didn't give a  how he was doing his work - not bothering about undercoats etc 
EDIT Sorry Dan I should have put this post in the Vehicle Profile thread - perhaps a mod can move it or just delete it - it's more of my drivel, I'm not going to win the Nobel Prize with it  |
