Then and Now!!!
Was glancing back through my photo cache and came across several photos of my Defender as it was shortly after purchase.

This was June 2009 six months after purchase.....

Roll on 5 years, a wish list that never seems to get any shorter, contentious issues about purchases with SWMBO, and 'clandestine fitments' in the hope SWMBO won't actually notice them.....Defender ownership, ain't it great?.....

Thumbs Up Laughing

One of my favorites on here. I am really swaying towards a standard winch bumper and the soft A bar, such a good front end. Thumbs Up

Thanks for all your comments! Bow down

Steve it's a KBX Premium Satin Black. Thumbs Up

Was hoping for some others to stick up their photos too. I do like before 'n' after shots, Fekete's would look cool as a before 'n' after scenario too I reckon. I may get a few more ideas. Where's Killer? Whistle If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Not entirely to my taste, but it's your truck so who am I to stick my oar in!

I do like the black covering on the bulkhead where the vent panels would have been - are those a DIY job? My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk
