vexedfoxy Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I would no more put the writing on the outside than I would put my underpants on my head. Laughing aloud, soon will we have a thread on 'fitting your new spoiler on a defender'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzled Skipper Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 By coincidence I bought a set of BFG All-Terrain today for my unmodified Defender 90 SW and the first thing the tyre fitter asked was which side I wanted the lettering. This took me by surprise but after vexing over it for 5 minutes I opted for ‘in’. It probably helped that the manager asked me, “Did I want to go pirate?” Afterwards I felt the need to check on popular opinion and stumbled across this thread!

Mutley Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Don't feel I need tyres to make a statement!?!.......The Oval badge does that!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 There's only one problem with having the white lettering facing in as Mutley's picture above proves.... When you catch a glimpse of the white lettering on the inside, it looks like you have accidentally gone out with your clothes inside out!

Cchase Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Inside ... please! Otherwise they start to get stained and look grey and get rubbed by rocks distracting from the rugged nattiness of yer typical Defender! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Out! Life would be boring if we all wanted them to look like ex-military vehicles. I'm always amazed that how a vehicle that can cost their owners thousands of pounds to modify/personalise and improve seems to be frowned upon when they're not battered/bruised and covered in 30years worth of crud. Not a thing that tends to keep me awake at night worrying about though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Amazing thread revival! White letters out, that's what I had with my old BFGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If the tyre manufacturer wants my vehicle to be a roving advert, they'll have to give me the tyres for free. I had the tyres reversed when I bought my RRC as the PO had fitted BFG ATs white-out. I don't like that on a Defender (and it's very out of character on a Series), but on a RRC, it's plain vulgar!

Landy7 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It's that time again! Topic revival! I think it depends on the looks of the car and paint color, I'm having General Grabber TR's at the moment but will be swapped next week for the BFGoodrich AT KO2, white lettering in or out!? I'm leaning towards lettering in like it sits now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 White inside as outside it will get scuffed & look carp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Lettering inside, lettering outside is one of the most heinous forms of style crime. If you do put the lettering on the outside don't be surprised if people point and laugh or if mothers quickly avert their child's view.

western Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 ^^^^White outside is OK on that open top 90, but not on a station wagon or hardtop working vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I think it depends on the paint. If the paint is immaculate, flat and a red or a white, then, sure. Even yellow might work. Otherwise. No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkie Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm not bothered by the lettering being in or out, it's alloys being fitted to a utility vehicle that really causes me upset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I disagree, it can look very well on a California inspired truck. Once upon a time I had a Datsun Patrol(*) that came with California styling. Wide arches. Gold alloys, BFGs, white fibre glass top, black windows, bull bars and shiny red paint job. It was a very confident bling, well before bling was a thing, and everyone else was driving Toyota Corollas. If you are going for extravert: White on the outside. * 3.3 six cylinder diesel, thirsty but smooth and powerful compared to the 2286 diesel I had before.

monkie Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 This is what is great about land rovers. You can make them into what you want: original, alloys, big tyres, raised air intakes, lights, checker plate.... The list goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
