Looks really nice. Was the bonnet wrapped or painted?

Re the spacers, I have some 30mm spacers on my Disco 3 and agree, it improves the stance SO much, trouble is, it also means that the car gets caked in mud down the sides and ontop of my side steps when I go offroad!

Is it OK to put 25mm on the front and 30mm at the back though? Surely they should be the same all round? Can I ask why you did it that way?

Regards to chunkier wheels, when I collect mine in a few weeks I don't plan to keep the black alloys its coming with, so if you fancy these let me know.

Its factory painted - Defender X P400 come with the black bonnet.

The wheels are still just inside the arches as it has the wider ones fitted plus large mudflaps. I went with the wider rears as that how Urban etc do the offsets on the aftermarket wheels. Also if you look the rear wheels sit inboard more than the front for some reason (and still do slightly even with the wider spacer). I didn't want to go as wide 1s 30mm on the front incase it effected the steering feel / tram-lining etc but feels the same on this setup.

Did you go for the Eibach spacers? They don’t list the new defender but I think the fitment is the same as L405.

No H&R. Same fitment as the RR Sport. Full tuv approved etc. Had them on a RS6 as well and are really good quality.

Great looks. Would you mind taking a picture from the back with the spacers? Thanks.
