That is easier than me organising it

Done!

Has one of the Mulgo/ebay jobs been fitted to an 80's era One Ten yet? Seems every aftermarket 'bolt-on one size fits all' product I have bought has needed modification to fit, or just sits forlorn in my garage.
Also, is the glass tinted on every single one? I think County's have a different colour tint to Defenders. I'd rather the tint matches the rest of the car.

Also, do you think the solid version could be painted to match the colour of the vehicle?

The door is powder coated. I dont know if it is possible to paint over this though.....

The Mulgo/eBay once on the other hand seem to open a lot further.

The white Defender you show has the old Frontrunner ones. The new ones which I have open up high enough for me to walk under it. I am 6ft5in (or 1.97m) tall

The Frontrunner items are >>$500 in AU. Dolium (the AU distributor) emailed me back asking for more detail but nothing since.

Mulgo's special is $407.

Easy choice for me.

I agree. I am just giving information as i know it to be, not saying the frontrunner ones are better.
My ultimate set up would be a solid door on the left and a glass door on the right.
Reason I would have this set up is because I plan to build a "kitchen box" on the one side.

If I was not going to build a kitchen i would definately have both glass doors instead of the frontrunner ones.

If only we could get the glass ones in South Africa.

How do you find visibility with the two solid?

I havent found it to be a big problem. I did notice that when reversing from a parking into a busy street it was a bit of a pain, but I dont often do this so doesnt bother me too much. I also noticed that I use my mirrors more when reversing, rather than looking over my shoulder.
I suppose it is still better than driving a truck with a canopy on as i have the back passenger door windows to look out of.
