they is well good at nite on the plain

the roof bar in the last pic i have just replaced with a first four version as in the 1st piccy.it sits a lot lower and i think it looks better

What make is the aftermarket brick handbrake? Is it as good as the x-brake conversion?

i believe they come free with all 1989-1990 models.

have just replaced handbrake with a newer model version so it now works

Nice motor Wiltshire, Not sure about the roof lights, think the black rectangular ones are better. But the rest looks great.

I'm hunting stainless rock and tree sliders at the moment, been quoted £500 so far and so may have to settle for black coated ones.

I believe Iannotts is about to start doing rocksliders. It may be worth sending him a pm.

used to have rectangular roof lights,there ok if you wanna light up your bonnet and about 10ft in front of your landy,the ones on at the mo give a massive long throw pencil beam light and certainly light up a huge distance in front of ya,im happy wiv them now as this is the 4th set of roof lights i have tried,

my rock sliders were an ebay bargain,there heavy duty ones and brand new inc postage i paid £100!!! well happy wiv that.

can i ask why you want stainless sliders?
surely there gonna get scratched and bashed about?
unless its for the school run of course

Is the winch and light set up on the front an issue with air flow into the radiator? Don't suppose its an issue if you don't do long journeys.

I had a leccy winch with bridged solenoid on my 300tdi ( It's higher than a standard winch) and I also had the number plate fitted to the grill. The only problem I ever had with cooling was due to me blocking the radiator with mud on salisbury plain.

done a 3hr round trip last friday with no issues with cooling.

Re your stripes, have you tried using a hair dryer to melt the glue? takes time but i've done it on others and they come off cleanly
