The wheels - opinions please?

Embarassed I meant should I keep these or put boosts on?

Lovely hard top! Wheels look very good, maybe boosts/SVX would look nice with the current scheme. Or black grille and light surrounds - cheaper than changing wheels Wink Great truck. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

Thanks JK. I was pondering over converting to black pack but now you've made up my mind Twisted Evil and I've purchased. Its terrible when other people's suggestions tip you over to spend money!
I told myself this vehicle was going to remain standard and I've weakened already Very Happy . I suppose there would be no thread continuity if she remained standard. Whistle

I'm truly sorry Rolling with laughter

Actually, I'll keep the lettering in silver, although want to change it to brighter silver such as the AB/Adventure additions have. I like the contrast.

I found this tool, which I imagine will need to be used with care but should be helpful.

This is mine now with black bits and silver lettering:

Visited Brendan today to pick up the new Patriot rack and came away with more than just the rack Very Happy

Now fitted to the spare wheel is one of Brendan's locks.
Fitted the front mud flaps which the factory didn't do towards the end of production -probably to reduce claims for rusty brackets. Rolling with laughter

Fitted the old snow cowl which i had to spray as it was quite faded.

Sealed between the tub and hard top.
