We still want the Defender wheel arches? Fella from Land Rover is coming over on Thursday if we still want i'll ask...


I think we are good as we are mate, chances of the cutouts being the same would be slim

I think it looked OK as it was. Nicely finished, but not over the top.

Agreed.

The defender arches would be for much bigger diameter then the trailor wheels so it would look odd in hindsight.

Incursus

Okies.  I agree anyway, look good as they are.

just change the lamp to a 12v one

philoldsmobile

i think the bulbs are a bigger diameter..

i think we need to be carefull, the thing looks so damned good as is, any further change after the sign writing risks pushing it over the top.

if we were to change the tails for anything, i'd personaly prefer 4 of those round ones with the rectangualr indicator across the full width in the middle like trucks have..

Yup they are cool. I was trying to find the rear tail lights for a fire engine but that was all i found. I just think the current lights are a little on the small size

I don;t like the arrow things, look tacky & Chavy-stick on to me
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

I emailed the seller of this to see if he would ship to the UK. The answer was a hell yeah and he even gave me a shipping price.

37" long and over 120db $149 each plus we would need a compressor and tank that could also be used for the air injection system
