Not to keen on the leather parts, but apart from that, the black rooflining looks very nice.
Photo below, do you have other stuff underneath the damping mats?  Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Thank you for your interest
Yes, the rear bulkhead is covered in Dynamat first and then the foam, this will be a speaker enclosure for the 6 x 9's when finished |

Looking really good - sorry its a lot better than that not sure what words really can desctribe it
Glad I've only ordered a 90 from Jeremy I think having to do all that in a 130 would :- a) take for ever b) cost a large fortune I now see how some of the defender conversions from the likes of Overfinch get into silly figures. Despite having 2 G4's not a fan of orange but its been tastefully done so far, please do not go overboard on the orange on the outside 
Logo painted bits a big no no
Anyway you will need to get in some green stiching as our logo is green not sure if need to get in green leather that might be a bit ott in a white defender 2020 P300 HSE |

Thank you for the kind words
I've come to the same conclusion that painting bits on the outside orange wouldn't look as cool as originally thought so I'm sticking to graphics and a rather 'natty' set of badges that I'm having made .....
Looking forward to supplying you with some bits, thank you, and yes we have green leather ! (and stitching  ) |

Thank you
A, B and C pillars are left to do (I put a pair of stock A pillar trims on just for Billing) Rear headrests to do Spotlights on the new roof rack to wire up Rear fridge to wire up Finish rear speaker panel to take 'The Loudest' 6 x 9's Full rust prevention to the chassis (I want it done properly so Zag is doing it )
LED bulbs for the interior lights (Ebay) Swap rear work lights for Speaker items from Tim at Mobile Centre Fit Brendan supplied security bonnet hinges Speak nicely to Pete at BAS about upgrade to the existing BAS remap I think that's it so yes hopefully ready for Peterborough |

The plate on the front of the roof rack is crying out for an orange 'FCX' sticker. Darren
