Bummer! New rock sliders and a sheet of ally checkerplate.( only joking about the checkerplate)
As a side note, there is no way i would go under that landy whilst it was up on those ramps, especially on grass.

Just been down to see my Landy after it's respray. I took it to a professional body shop. He has had to cut the old damaged sections where I drove it off the ramps. He originally thought he could beat it out but found the Alloy sides where too thin. So he cut out two sections. The pieces he has installed look to be a thicker gauge of Alloy. From what I could see you can't see it was damaged. He still has to put the bits back on like door handles etc. It should be ready by the end of the week. I will post some pictures then. I took some with my phone but they are crap.

It's back. Only took them 12 weeks to do the respray. Then I had to go down there yesterday and explode at them. Anyway considering the state it was in they didn't do a bad job. 2000 Euro. Oh, don't all rush, he never wants to see a Land Rover ever again. He said it was a pig to work on.
Looks very tidy, like it. And looks better without the drain pipe on the wing

Yes, I'm not sure about the snorkel either, or Chimney as my wife calls it.. I have no intention of driving it through water so thought I would leave it off for the time being. PluLooks very tidy, like it. And looks better without the drain pipe on the wing

Reckon it looks lots better without, just a personal opinion.
Never had one on any of my landies, I would be backing up and going another way long before standard wading depth!

I had one not for wading but to catch cleaner dust free air when on a Morocco trip. Well that was the theory, but to be honest the dust was everywhere. Go to 5.35 on the timer on the video:Reckon it looks lots better without, just a personal opinion.

Not too different to going up our lane in the summer!
I just change the air filter twice a year.
