Thread: Epsom Green and Checkerplate what colour?

Looks good either way! :>)

Your sunshade seems to be letting the sun through, not keeping it off! Amazing!

I go for practical over fashion. On my 109, i had silver - was a pain when the sun shone on it. So now my D90 and 88" have black... The D90 is keswick green, so it looks super cool with black! the down side is it gets hot and when you stand on it with no shoes in the middle of the day in summer it burns! OUCH! but u get that haha

For me it would have to be black.

..... but what do I know, I drive a Discovery

i have epsom green 110 and went black wing tops. not sure if i have a pic. if i can find one ill put it here

I've got a pair in Silver , that I haven't fitted yet . I think black would look better , on my Keswick green , I just haven't seen either fitted to help make a decision . I can understand them getting hot in mat black , also being reflective in silver . I just don't get to see many Keswick green Defenders. Jim..

The plates I had on the series I painted with a rattle can (tried a brush - dont do it! ) but these were black powedercoated ones:


Like I said, Mine are there to be walked on, not just to look cool. If I wasn't walking on the bonnet I wouldn't have gotten them at all.

Hope this helps the original poster as well.

Hi Debruiser,

I see that we are neighbors, both in Mackay and I believe it was your 90 I saw in the Holy Spirit carpark today.

Whereabouts is the track in this pic, we haven't been out much in the local area, have joined the Mackay 4wd club but yet to do a trip after being members for over 6 months

It's the diggings loop track. Sent you a PM as well.
