My wrap turned up, 14m of Avery 992 Metallic Grey Gloss Took over the kitchen and laid over the top of the door Cut out the required amount, now we are skipping a few stages here as I was concentrating too much to take pics, images of the door fully wrapped

Gave the rear frame side of the door a coat of paint

Deox gel. Then red oxide paint. Then por15

bit of a last minute buy on ebay last night to solve my rotten rear door conundrum, I was going to repair it by welding a new frame section in, but popped up on ebay and was only a few miles from me so i took the plunge. Got tinted rear window too so bit of a bonus And the reason I wanted...

50 quid from John Craddock! BTR1197PMA - RH Insulation Pad Black 4 Cylinder MA939976 to WA159806

Yep. Quite expensive lol!

thanks, il keep my eye out for one of them, the door is in need of repair or replacement anyway (the usual rot on the bottom section) I was going to repair it, but if there is a better replacement I might look into that!

Cheers! Yeah the paint is not bad, there are a few areas where you can tell its oxidising underneath at the edges so would need rubbing down and painting, of which im rubbish at, plus im not a massive fan of the green i think the met grey looks a lot more modern. But yeah its not bad and I...

Cheers for the reply :) I was aware of the sagging issues but I figured I just prefer the look of it there and the extra room inside, replacing worn hinges is something I'm just going to have to foot for the privellage. That said I know someone who's had one on for years and it's still not...

cheers for the info, interesting stuff :) im still learning about these, its my first defender, my only other experience being a freelander 2 in the family, this is a bit easier to work on mind lol

Wouldn't surprise me if it has been replaced, probably in too good condition to be original

yeah its not cheap but nowhere near the price of a respray, its about 15pm and iv worked out I need 15/16 meters, so looking at 270ish You can get cheaper stuff, KPMF wrap about £8pm, but after receiving samples for both this avery and the KPMF it looks and feels a bit cheap

Hiya, just thought id get round to posting a thread about my Defender 300tdi that I have started to work on. Recently purchased a clean example 300tdi off ebay here are the sales pics After an inspection pre sale on site in fading light I gave it a better look...
