VA does it create much extra wind noise at speed? It will be interesting so see if you have a noticable increase in fuel consumption too. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Looking good but I'd loose the G4 stickers, make it look like you wanted a G4 but couldn't afford one

Loks Good VA, hurry and get the spots on as well as the winch. I agree with slimer you must take the G4 sticker off spoils the look I think.

Then he'll go and buy some mountain bikes and a kayak (supposedly for the little VA's) to cart around on the roof rack to complete the look.

I like it, I think 'racks' in general give the car a bit more of a pumped up look. Agree with the need for a Kayak stuck on top though or indeed any other exploring kit.

Interested to know just how much wind noise becomes an issue at speed and just how much MPG plummets ?

Presumably its on and ain't coming off ?

Don't forget about it when you drive into a multi story car park !

I'd crop the stickers to better suit the moulding, maybe cut out G4 and the logo ?

And replace them RRSport.co.uk stickers!

VA has the location of the rack so close to your SatNav / phone antenna caused any reception problems? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Not put the gutter covers back on yet, I'm buying a new set with pre drilled holes. As for wind noise I havn't really noticed much of an increase except after the turkey & sprouts! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
