I know this is a personal thing but I'm trying to decide what colour to go with.
I've got the stornaway grey 110 and after seeing a grey 110 recently with a gloss black steering guard I thought this was the way forward but now I'm not so sure. I'm thinking; gloss black cos it did look good and may go gloss black bonnet letters, grille and head lamp surround matt black so its less in your face silver cos it simply looks good stornaway to match paint work (bit blingo tho?) and may paint up mirrors too? what do you and your photos suggest..... |

I went currant red first, gloss back later. It's no big deal, try a colour if you don't like it, change it! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Mine was already on the truck, alloy grey...

thanks Mal,
could buy a few spray cans and practice but would rather go down the powder coat and at a likely £20+ each time I'd like to do it just the once. Although I don't dislike the orange / red or similar its not for me on this occasion as I'd rather go for something a little more subtle.
hopefully I can sort and install quicker than my subwoofer in which case it should be ready for some photos before Xmas 2015. |

Seriously?
Mine's a bash plate so it's galvanised steel just as it was when it was first fitted to several Defenders back. Steve. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.

a BASH plate Steve ?
I'm really not sure what you're talking about. I'm talking about those cosmetic add ons that go under the front bumper and down towards the front diff. you often see them with pretty holes, text and in lovely different colours. I suppose if you were unlucky enough it might bash a squirrel on the head but certainly wouldn't want to bash anything more than that! |

You obviously speak with the voice of experience with regard to cosmetics
