Finally turned up - late - overall okish... some photos for you to pass judgement on. Have asked the dealer to help sort out.

She's a beauty mate!

The aluminium white is a minor and except for that headlight, she looks to have less surface rust than mine!

Well done and welcome to the Puma clan.

Cheers,

Lou

Thanks mate - yeah if I can put decent plate on and sort the lamps will be happy. Bloody stalled a couple of timea finding 3rd instead of first! The anti-stall is amazining.

The headlamps are a lot better than previous Defenders, but if you are going to replace them I would look at possibly upgrading.

The LED ones are pretty pricey but the output is amazing. (HID would not be legal)

These guys do very good quality chequer plate and again their international delivery prices are very reasonable. I prefer the black powder coated plate (my car is Stornoway Grey) and I recon it might look good on yours as well if that's your preference.

Thanks Lou - have you seen a site for the headlamps? Is it a complete swap out swap in unit? I'm torchaholic so sold on LEDs.

Looking good. The rust comes with a coastal life i suppose..


I wanna go led too. Look up trucklites..

Good looking pair of landys!

You could get that all ship shape in a weekend....

take out the lights, wire brush the surrounds and paint them black.

For all checkplate - remove, clean, prime, paint black/silver/whatever and rivet back on.

Dent in diff looks minor, you could get some diff guards to cover over and prevent further damage.

Enjoy.
