I got a bit o' chequer plate, only because a tenner for 2 new rear corners is a fook of a lot cheaper than new panels. Will be painted Arles blue when the respray comes round...

That's how it starts though. won't be long before you've gone over to the enemy and covered every bit of landy in 5bar chequerplate. Just remember whenever you get the urge to fit more. We're only a keyboard away.

Ah did mine, cos the sills and back corners were a bit mangled and cheaper and a lot less hassle than fittin' new panels

I could not understand the need for plate on the wings and bonnet untill I bought a defender 130, the ali is about as thick as baco foil compared with my 110 (1985). The chassis story is the same , they seem to last less and less time , manufactured obsolesence ?
