My 2016 110 is nearly immaculate except for some scuffed wing tops where the previous users (the MOD) have clearly used it as a table for the gear and making cups of tea etc. Also now with the Alu-Cab fitted I've needed to stand on the wing tops a few times for access.
So, I am going to fit chequer plate wing top covers. I've gone for the silver Nakatanenga ones which seem really good quality but just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get a good end result The kit just came with pop rivets but I have seen others use countersunk bolts; any reason for one over the other? Also am I right in thinking some kits have a foam/felt underneath? I don't really want to trap loads of water/sand/dust underneath forever. Should I be getting extra wax or something underneath before fitting? Any tips from perfectionists welcomed! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Sorry Ian, didn't see this reply...
Many thanks for the advice, that's exactly what I was looking for! Will do some good preparation and then hopefully only ever have to do the job once! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Even Nakatanenga powder coating will eventually chip, so at some point it will need removing to blast clean and re powder coat, or better still paint.

I went for plain stainless finish so fingers crossed it should hold up pretty well if I get it right Cheers, David
