Finally - my new Defender arrived today. The spec and colour rather divides people, but I'm still not convinced metallic paint and alloys belong on a Defender!

Anyway, it's glorious, and will keep a series 11a and a 300tdi company.

One small thing that I forgot to ask the dealer - presumably running in is a thing of the past?

Love the colour, a slightly modern twist on a classic.

Thats exactly what I was about to write!!

My dream Defender is a double cab with a van back end. Were the wolf wheels a dealer option or did you buy those separately?

Excellent colour choice.

Many thanks everyone for nice comments - yes, Wolf rims were dealer option - spec is as:

Base spec, wind up windows and no aircon
Body Coloured Roof and Arches
Rubber Mats
Cloth Heated Seats
Heated windscreen
Under body protection bar
Side Steps
Bluetooth Radio
Towing Pack
Wolf Wheels with Michelin Wrangler MT/R

Had it all wax injected today. Feels too good to use now! A few more pics...

We had a customer put those wheels on a 110 XS S/W which we had colour coded to Keswick Green to match the body.

Looked awesome.

Agreed, and far cooler than anything from Twisted IMHO.

Like it - classic and understated. Definitely in the original spirit of the Defender.

I have a 110 UW on order as well but you could describe my car as "same same but different" (a bit more 'bling' I'm afraid)
