Could not recommend my Exmoor Trim tonneau highly enough. Two years in, always outdoors, sun, snow and rai, still looks new. Really top quality and easy to fit. And given Daisy is silver, the black would look really smart.
Also, whilst on recommendations, 18" Bowlers look the nuts. Not cheap, but once you've bought them and put them on you'll wonder why you ever dithered. And for the headliner, given I wanted one as well but didn't have the cash (yet) for Alcantara, whilst I had the headlining off to do the SilentCoat, I did a test with a high quality silicon spray in matte black, designed for vinyl and it was worth a punt. So I hung the sections and sun visors up in the garage, gave them a good clean with wipes and let them air dry, then waited for a windless day, and slowly sprayed, back and forth, back and forth. Probably three cans and three coats in all. Looks like it has a shine in bright light in the garage, but once back in the cab you genuinely wouldn't know it wasn't a real black headlining, albeit an (in theory) OE vinyl one as opposed to Alcantara. It looks so good that the Alcantara headlining has dropped way down my shopping list. Bargain at 20€ for the cans of spray. But buy the best, buy silicon (so it's flexible) and buy the stuff that adheres to vinyl. Worked a treat Monsieur Le Grenadier

Did you cut and paste the wrong photo? Should it not have been the following? If so, forgiven

What do you mean by tilt?
Pretty sure the first is Exmoor as well. I have been uming and aghing between the two, with the first (tan) being some £500 cheaper  Which sort of answers my own question as to which to buy. Monsieur Le Grenadier

It is different. I’m not completely sold on the look of it yet but if it cools the area infront of the drivers footwell then I’ll be happy.
Gets so warm in the cabin in longer journeys and hoping the forced air in will help a little. If not I’ll be magic if yo a large plate that hides the holes left by the safari snorkel. 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html Instagram - @r22oyp Roy |
