The seats are good, definitely an improvement but not as good as Recaros or the like. I wouldn't ever change them out because the difference is not enough to justify spending that kind of money. Personally i am very happy with them.

I think they are standard on the XS, not sure. The upgraded stereo is good, great sound better than I expected.

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

They are the optional seats with the LR logo on them aren't they? I just took delivery of my 2013 spec 110 XS and I was going to get the seats, but I didn't bother in the end as I thought that £800 was expensive and that it just made the the car more attractive to thieves - 8 bolts and the seats are gone

Oh and I think that the standard seats are great having spent 1200 miles in them in a week!

Not standard on XS, they are an option and cost £1000 or £800 tax free!

LR should make that grille should come as standard! I'd get one if it was done in Tonga Green. Black on black is cool, good choice. :thumbsup:

I think there are quite a few people on here that have colour coded their KBX grilles and surrounds which looks great.

Your defender looks great Tp81! It fits right in with an M5 and 911! The new seats look great as well

I would have removed it if mine had come with a grille like that, otherwise I think its a lovely truck. I'm glad all these fancy add-on bits are still optional.
