Last pieces of the jigsaw going together, LR dog guard painted and installed jack painted and kept and wheel chock painted and … oh hang on where the hell does this go ? Any ideas where it should be stowed ?

Full 2 stage machine polish by www.detailbug.co.uk prior to applying the decals, then a re visit for wax

That was my thoughts, less is more 😂

I’m thinking on some decals on the side, not the original county ones but something like this ? What’s the consensus ? I personally thinking of going for the right defender in white one

headliner cover hosed down then cleaned with carpet cleaner then left to soak with domesdos bleach. Rinsed after 30min and its looks like new.
