No doubt about it................. that silver is WRONG, WRONG WRONG! Looks like one of those cheapo ghetto blasters from the '80s made in Taiwan................................. other than that - good job
How I knew the silver would cause an uproar.
Although to be honest I think all the plastic at the front of a defender, silver or black looks cheap and tacky. But I am more of a series fan. I do quite like the silver at the minute but it is just an experiment, I want it to stand out but not be over the top. As well as look and feel a little bit more modern. It may not show it in the pictures but it was quite heavily taken from standard before I got it. Unfortunately it has to be sold as I apparently 'have too many' but that leaves me in the difficult stage where it's stuck in the middle of original and not original but most of the modifications that have been done to it have improved it so to go for an original vehicle would make it worse. I'm also not a fan of factory restorations, the cars look great but people become afraid to use them and I want this to be used and enjoyed by someone. That's why nothing britpart or of poor quality has been used. I haven't used anything on this or haven't said that'll do. If I wouldn't be happy using a part on my own Land Rover I won't use it on this one and I will never say that'll do on my vehicle it has to be done properly and I'm doing the same with this one. Even though I won't be able to see the benefits of the reliability given by using quality parts, the work I put into this and the standard of work is how everyone will judge me. It's not going to be use the cheapest stuff possible so it's good for a few weeks then run with a huge profit. So hopefully that comes through.
