I see there's one vote for standard plate

Most certainly not Tornado, I have treadplate on the sills and rear corners, anymore would be too much! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Agree Tim it shouldn't look like the fairground has come to town, but I saw one a while back with a spot disc of SS TP on the front wings and it really worked. Only 6" diameter max. Maybe if I saw the car as a whole I might agree with you, I am not one for OOT.

T - I'm taking it on a battery recharging run into the hills tomorrow, will try to get a pic of the TP that I have on it then. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Have to decide whether to put my private plate on the sport or not, it was specifically bought years ago for my bmw's, and it was featured in one of the bmw performance mags.
Anyway i like the shape of the rear plate, and would certainly go for that type/size, are these available from the normal plate building websites?
By the way, my plate is V3RY M ( see what I mean ). 2005 Vesuvius 1st edition ( now sadly gone ).

Would be great to see some more photo's Tim - kind of fancy one to play with too.

Worked in France for a while and during the winter had the use of a brand new (at the time 2006) Defender. Have to say the heater was cr4p - I could sit with it on full heat full blow ALL day and not feel a thing - is this normal? Also, I remember I could see light through some of the door jams. Best of all though was the grip in the snow (super winter tyres) - could get anywhere.

So cool, the company I worked for gave me 'off road' training as I often took guests in the car too - it was done by two ex ARV cops from UK - they really knew how to drive anything in any conditions. Incredible how much further the Defender could be pushed once I thought the limit had been achieved - very impressive.

Old note to self, put up side steps before going through tight gaps

We don't do much serious stuff at this time of the year as the ground is too fragile, tomorrow I'm off on a gently jaunt with the SLROC on what they call a green road run - no offroading invovled, just drive to see the views and give the wagon a run as it has been shut away in a shed most of the winter. Don't like to get road salt on my nice new galvanised chassis!
Leaky seals, that's part of the Defender's character, even the latest ones have that! £28k to get your feet wet when it rains.
The heater in mine isn't too bad, warms up a darnsight quicker than the RRS with its FBH as well! But I miss the remote unlocking, heated seats and heated front screen at this time of the year. I run on Mud Terrain tyres and they are OK on snow but without any electronic aids they are a nightmare on icy roads. The RRS is much better all round in the winter - no cold showers from the condensation on the pop-out sunroof's surround, no steamed up windows, decent wipers, a hot backside and TR! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Cheers Tim - ok, ok, I agree - subtle wins.

I love the snorkel and winch, makes it look like it can do what it says on the tin!

Beautiful setting, def one for the family album.m

I want one now......

I decided that Tim was right. Short numbers look silly on the large style number plate. So I got a nice new one made today - and with a nice advert for the forum included.

I agree that the plate size should be in relation to the amount of characters on it, large plates with 2 or 3 characters looks out of place.
But I do like the look of the RRS shaped plate so ordered one yesterday , I have 6 characters on my plate so should look OK 2010 Alaska white 3.6TDi v8, heated steering wheel, Ipod connection, Aribica extended leather, Digital TV, voice activation, privacy glass, Dynamic pack
