3X that is.... Thumbs Up That green with those boosts looks fantastic.
Get it properly Dinitrolled first, and same time think of painting the outside of the rear crossmember as it starts to look a bit dull already. Proper Dinitrol on the crossmember inside, + paint the outside will avoid the classic crossmember surface rust problems... There are some pictures in my gallery of the painted rear cross member. Again, lovely truck Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Slightly wider tyres, job done!

All your defenders look brilliant especially the Galway Green ones! Thumbs Up Whatever happens with the wheels, the boosts and conti's will be kept!

Rust protection is a must. All our defenders have had chequer plate kits on them but I am not to sure with this one whether to or not. I see yours, Jeremy, has black chequer plate and it looks great!

We want to keep it an standard looking as possible with subtle upgrades like NAS rear step and LED lights.

Thanks for all your feedback!

Sam

I think the Nene Icon Front Grill would suit it very well and they do some nice 18" or 20" Alloys to finish it off! Very Happy 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid)

Looks nice in original pic. Maybe a NAS rear bumper/step. Is it Tonga green? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Thanks. It is Galway Green actually. I agree with the NAS rear step. I think it would suit.

Galway is Thumbs Up Silver boost alloys look nice with dark colours. I gave my 90 a matching rear fog light & reverse light on each side so looks more symmetrical & added safety. Kept the traditional indicators & rear red lights though. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.

BigWheels, could you show me a pic of your matching reverse and fog light? That sounds like a great idea though. Yes I think we shall get Bolt on Bits LED lights keeping the traditional look of the indicator and rear red but giving extra brightness and lifespan. Think we are going for the JW speaker headlights upfront though Very Happy

Which do you think would look best? 16 inch x-tech wheels or the twisted 18 inch black wheels?

LR full length dog guard now in and Pete at BAS has remapped it last night. Already alot smoother and pulls much better through each gear! Thumbs Up

Sam


Stay on 16

Modifications
Yes I think 16 inch is the most suited. two small changes include Mobile Storage glovebox which is great and a full length dog guard which can be halved when not needed:
