Thought I'd start a post about my daily, it's a 04 td5 defender.
When We collected her:

After fitting some bolt on's:
9E722C45-C4A8-4559-85C9-3A6AB83D903B_zps
One with a mini in:
D609C408-E6EC-495C-BCEE-DE0318FB1537_zps
Looks better muddy:
0936332B-CF29-4454-8871-F8CFFF157FA8_zps
Doing a charity rally:
FB146E70-E653-4143-8D38-F0C53D5A7A22_zps
With mini:
601F3510-276F-40ED-B01B-4B92278D9CC6_zps
After hitting a gate post:
85FFA65D-FD88-4187-BB27-068D4FDFE09D_zps
After pulling it out and fitting LEDs, I have the panels just need to fit them:
A617F677-F7D6-428D-BC6B-E8214548F776_zps
Things I have done to her:
Silencer removal
De-cat
Egr removal
Steering guard and diff guards
Remap.
Things to do:
Repair wings
New bumper
New wheels
Fit panoramic back windows
She should look great once done.

It's annoying that there are so many just sitting there not being used, rotting away slowly.

Only listened to the change in exhaust note now. It certainly sounds great! What's the difference in interior noise like?
