Looking forward to the inevitable mods !

I very much doubt it, she wants a new Defender... When one appears I/we want, then we will simply sell this one on... It may take 6 months or longer so this will work as a good stock gap Thumbs Up

You should've bought her a VAG then you could've used that AUX cable. Laughing



Would have been cheaper!

I hate my mudfaps too, wreck the design.

How do you go about repairing the holes they leave behind once you have removed them? Big job? They also misform the bumper a bit when all the bolts are tightened up etc.

looks great Craig.... that will no doubt be one sorted motor when it comes up for sale.....

Im thinking about a Defender Hard top to replace the D4 at some point in the next year or so (need to sell a couple of houses first).

Problem is with commercial stuff they tend to get bought and run in to the ground then flipped on at auction. Ive been looking for a nice replacement D4 commercial for a while and they are all worse than mine. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Don't know how I missed this thread!!! Really glad you got it sorted Craig - back to being the fantastic car it always was. Interesting about the mudflaps. They do serve a purpose, but agree its at an aesthetic cost. Was surprised that my new one didn't have any and when I looked on the LR accessory sale they all say "not suitable for the SVA bodykit" - so looks like I'll be staying flap free myself! Must book myself in with you soon, I fancy one of those LR dashcam systems. Hope Lorna continues to enjoy it. Mike - MPx

Thanks Mike, yes she’s all back to fighting weight! FYI it had jumped 3 teeth! So was potentially one or two away from complete destruction! Yes get onto Lorna to book you in, those camera kits are flipping awesome! And incredibly discreet 👍

Hope your enjoying the new one?

A quick pic for all you 322 owners with a damaged bonnet panel! Whilst I was having paint done I decided to have an old knackered bonnet panel painted the colors of the side vents... This way they match the car and give it a cleaner look 👍

Thank you sir 🙏

Simply replace the two front panels, I think last time I purchased them they were about £40-£50 a side! As the plastic not only gets drilled but also gets deformed when the bolts are tightened... 👍
My rear bumper being a design pack uses mud flaps that don’t need bolting through! So happy days and one of the deciding factors for removing the mud flaps! If the bumper was drilled I would have left it with mud flaps F&R for sure...

Yes thanks Craig. The new car is completely awesome - love it. Still got two minor issues that the dealer is aware of and says will sort for me - but when is another matter. And you were dead right about the soft paint. I've shown it a bucket of water three times and found several new scratches each time - and that's before I take it around the hedgerow lanes. Mike - MPx

Hi Craig looking for the side molding that fits around the deployable steps?
