Thread: I am Complete

Congrats on a beautiful car, but you knew that. As someone who thinks Defenders are one of the best looking cars, ever, would it be taken amiss if I raise a negative?

I don't like the gearstick.

Nice bit of kit Solmanic.
I wouldn't stress about the above, Disco dash have a perspex cover. 5 children and mine is no shopping trolley. It's had dust, sand, sticky fingers and God knows what in there, but still clear and OK. I know of many others with a hard life and that's never been an issue.
Retreiving a $2 coin 99% inserted by then 2 y.o. into the CD slot was however

Looks great! I've owned my 2000 Fender for about 4 months now, is it too soon to trade in on a new one?!

One question - why do some of the new ones have white roofs, and some colour coded roofs? Is this an option when you order?

Cheers

They have colour matched roofs as standard, but you can order a white roof if you are prepared to wait. I ordered this in October so my wait was only about five weeks. The dealer did pull many, many strings to get it that fast. They had one unallocated vehicle in another colour which they swapped and swapped again with a Sydney dealer to get what I wanted. The dealer says the wait for new orders is now out to nearly seven months!!!

This Dealership still doesn't have its white 5 seat Demonstrator .
