I’ll be getting the rear ones fitted at some point, hopefully once the side steps become available I’ll get it all done at once. I’m never need to use them in anger but it’s handy to have them accessible. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

I do like the bash plate, and the tow eyes - sadly the trinket fund (with associated approval from Domestic CFO) is empty at the moment, as everything is now earmarked for a forthcoming house move/refurb Big Cry Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

And the bash plate is under the car so she’d never notice, or you say “it’s always been there, dear”. Whistle Whistle Whistle

Surely your lounge furniture needs a set of Melville and Moon fitted New Defender seat covers at the very least...... Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I could’ve done with it today, down at the docks there’s a bit of waste ground with some rubble and boulders, so I thought I’d try my hand at some rock crawling. Was going well until I got to a narrow bit beside a mound of dirt and I underestimated the Defenders width, a bit of scrabbling as the tyres tried to find grip and N/S climbed the edge of the mound. Thought I’d lost a mud flap or two but all is well.

Next time I’ll try rock crawl on the TR though it went over them all pretty well without it. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Yeah saw them, you can get two big chunks of metal cheaper than a black Defender badge for the rear Laughing

Might order a Fuji white touch up paint for my steel wheels, I have a slight chip on one. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue
