2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SVX Soft Top Santorini Black

Happy new steering wheel.

Just fitted to the SVX a Momo Millennium wheel and Alive boss (from killer90

) well chuffed but I'm going to need the Croytec stalk ends to match

More spending required

Also need these LED headlights with side lights to hurry up and be approved as the front end is looking rather bare in anticipation

(I've already used the wipacs on the DCPU

)

She is at the moment

but I'm pleased I stripped the grill/surrounds off as the "carriers" are coated mild steel which in time will corrode badly and cause bi-metal corrosion to the wings.

I intend to remove the carriers fully and coat with waxoyl then build up with stainless or titainium screws and copper slip to hopfully prevent the inevitable ali worm

Also a genuine soft bar and genuine driving lights going on I'm still pondering on a DRL bumper?

then the handles then the door handle surrounds then then then .....

it really is non stop mate but will be worth it in the end. my window screen hinges have bubbled thinking of getting the croytec replacement they might look good they certainly will on your svx

am so tempted to go for the svx grill

but i dont know if it would look any good on my blue

Tbh I didn't like the SVX grille when introduced but after living with it for a while it grows on you and the driving lights are superb.

On yours I'd go for colour coded or a pearl black? I've seen CRs in the flesh (Irish guy on here) it's in matte and on hi black 110 is brilliant

yer it would have to be colour coded i think with black inserts

the black on black does look smart i liked alive's 90 they done but tbh if i had a svx i would have to leave it the original silver it just has to be

unless i was gonig for a stealth look

Yup the SVX has to look as it was designed. All my mods are going to be totally reversible as factory looking units always retain their value.

I'm in a dilemma wether to fit my Mantec swing a way wheel carrier as to do so would involve drilling holes as well as making a side pivot tailgate? In theory carrier painted silver would look factory and be awful lot more practical than the spare inside but not a easily reversible mod without paint? Formerly mao99999

i would go for stuff like that mate, them upgrades are improvements but without loosing the characteristics of the 90. the wheel carrier either colour coded black or silver would look good as it would match the cage
