It rides nice on the steel wheels, even on the coils.
More tyre wall to soak up the bumps I guess. I can't wait for my 110 on 18" steels with the air suspension. Should be like driving on a c ... |

Full on classic look for me, anything else wasn’t an option, white roof is pricey but I wanted it all factory, it’s certainly getting noticed, had a few thumbs up from passers by.

That's my thought - the alloys don't "fit" with the Defender ethos. But of course, that's only my opinion.
I see you didn't go as far as the white roof. |

Looking around this forum there are lots of photos of people's Defenders and their massive alloy wheels.
Has anyone gone for the 18" steel wheels? And if not, why not? For an off-road vehicl ... |

Funnily enough, I went with S spec because anything higher had adaptive cruise.

Out of interest, what happens if you have the car limiter on and enter, say, a 30mph zone from a 50mph zone? Does is recognise the limit and decrease?
Does the car coast to the slower speed or app ... |

I saw a 110 parking near Regent's Park the other day and what stood out most for me was the black plastic door handles. They looked terrible.
I've checked my spec (only an S) and it appears mine ... |
