3X that is.... That green with those boosts looks fantastic.
Get it properly Dinitrolled first, and same time think of painting the outside of the rear crossmember as it starts to look a bit dull already. Proper Dinitrol on the crossmember inside, + paint the outside will avoid the classic crossmember surface rust problems... There are some pictures in my gallery of the painted rear cross member. Again, lovely truck You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw Last edited by ericvv on 22nd Dec 2012 8:06am.

I think the Nene Icon Front Grill would suit it very well and they do some nice 18" or 20" Alloys to finish it off! 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid)

Looks nice in original pic. Maybe a NAS rear bumper/step. Is it Tonga green? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Thanks. It is Galway Green actually. I agree with the NAS rear step. I think it would suit. Sam |

Galway is Silver boost alloys look nice with dark colours. I gave my 90 a matching rear fog light & reverse light on each side so looks more symmetrical & added safety. Kept the traditional indicators & rear red lights though. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.

BigWheels, could you show me a pic of your matching reverse and fog light? That sounds like a great idea though. Yes I think we shall get Bolt on Bits LED lights keeping the traditional look of the indicator and rear red but giving extra brightness and lifespan. Think we are going for the JW speaker headlights upfront though Sam |

Yes I think 16 inch is the most suited. two small changes include Mobile Storage glovebox which is great and a full length dog guard which can be halved when not needed:
