No brainer now you've changed the wheels
"Black".... but just standard matt black ones, not shiny black and the grill also. (but then you'll also need to change the D E F E N D E R on the bonnet to black also, and the Chequer plate on the side steps to black to match the wings) The Brunel now looks a bit on it's own (and put your bumper end caps back on  )Last edited by Tiger on 10th Nov 2014 7:06pm.

My head says black but the Brunel really suits it for some reason
 does that bull bar bolt into the wing at the side too? |

it's got to be black to match the black on red theme throughout the defender with, roof, windows, wheels & bumper
I'm not normally one for red cars, but that red does look rather fantastic! Is red the new grey???????? or should we just not go there!  Russell

Bumper end caps, don't last long, with the thicker bumper ! but its a maybe ? Got to be in shiney black to match the roof, both in Santorini,, Now available from Landrover, already painted,, and cheaper than painting myself ! The black bonnet scrip is also a maybe ? The Grill has to be cut, to get the winch as far back as i can, plus recess in the lamps ,so is from a earlier 110, but if i go black, that will be painted as well, California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

Know what you mean,, hence the question ?? Yes, BB ends bolts into the front wing with rivnuts,, but as i don't drill holes, and plan for subsequent owners, fixed on via other means California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Decision made,, going all Santorini Black for the surrounds & grill
Recon so Russell,, All the greys look the same,,better to lead than follow 
New model year = new colour plus it was time for a change, California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

TJ101, I like the way you are adverse to drilling and always think about resale, I find myself thinking like that too. On your previous motor did you ever find a way to attach the mantec snorkel without drilling? I've got this job to do soon and dont want to drill, was wondering about sikaflex??

That attractive red and black bodywork is sadly let down by those silver coloured and rather low-budget looking alloy wheels. Whole package looks rather half thought out - others that go for black wheels and arches end up with a more impressive looking end product.

IMHO, that 90 would have looked better with a silver roof which would've picked up the silver alloys & other silver bits on the vehicle?

Hi Andy,, Regret i had to succumb with that one,, 2 holes for the wing for rivnuts, and 2 into the A post for the top bracket The possible  need to remove for access, killed the Silaflex option for me
Mark twice, drill once ,, A job to be done, before the next trip south California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |
