2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 HT Keswick Green

In what order? 110 Hardtop Upgrade

I've been piddling around with little upgrades I did myself or could get done easily. Looking at larger work now. In what order should works be undertaken?

Paint upgrade / respray - Numerous through to the metal scratches. I was hoping some paint repairs could be made but it looks like a respray making the roof Keswick Green also is on the horizon

Grill / Vents - KBX

Bulkhead Removal Bar - Removing the bulkhead behind the seats

Landyglass 110 panoramic glass.

New Wheels. I like the 18" Sawtooth replicas on the Urban Truck site. They appear to be claiming that their wheels are unique offsets? Might be reading this wrong but is that the case?

Rear lining - Im looking for something between ply lining and teak decking!

Any advice welcome

I would start with a respray, this alone will transform the look of your defender and make it look fresh. I would then do panoramic glass and wheels to get the outside up to spec then focus on the interior, starting with bulkhead removal

I can't help you with the wheels but definitely start with the respray as it will stop any further damage being caused by the deep scratches and the paint will need doing before the panoramic Windows if you want a good finish. Ray
