BogMonster Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I believe that is the vehicle for which the expression "fugly" was first coined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The front bumper looks like it used to have a winch mount. At the back the towing drop plate has either been plated over or is just made of chequer plate! For a couple more square metres of plate it could have been completely covered over for that real bling, rufty tufty, aluminium ingot look.

Godlykepower Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Its very rare that you see a Defender that doesnt look great. This is one of those times. What was he thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clbarclay Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm sure I've seen worse. As checker plate jobs go it at least looks to have been done tidily. What the rear corss member looks like I do not want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samtope Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The trip didnt work so the speedo was replaced with one recording a HIGHER milage?? Can that be the truth? I'd have lived with a faulty trip personally.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkk2 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Has anyone noticed wher the Vin plate is fixed? not seen a defender with the plate on the top of the rad, ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I was following a Jeep Wrangler a few weeks ago who'd also gone completely OTT with the checker plate. We were going really slowly in a traffic jam tail back at 9 oclock in the evening...I had my head lights on dip beam and found it really hard to concentrate because my dip beam was being refelcted right back at me by all this bloody checker plate on the back of the Jeep. The stuff he had was the really bright polished stuff that you tend to see on Fire Engines etc...but it looked just as daft as that Landy in the Ebay pics!
