I have a strange calling to getting a Defender, customised to my spec by Twisted. I know we aren't talking performance mods etc, just a pretty good car. I walked past this one today and really like the way you can design the car to your own spec. I have not frequented the LR forum before, but wondered about PH views on Twisted - is this gimmick stuff or overfinch upgrade quality?

Good advice, thanks Maverick. Keep it subtle, although I quite like the snorkel, as floods wrecked one of my cars here in Yorkshire at a roundabout last year. If i go down the new Defender route this year, I will probably just mod it myself. In black though smile

DingDong .... I'm well into my mods, but I like them subtle, looking at your picture of the twisted Defender, its not a million miles from what I have done myself. smile

Personally I enjoy the moding process myself, so I would not be telling twisted what I want, I would be doing it myself.

Looking at your picture, it shows some nice wheels, which you could spec yourself and if your not paying someone elses profit, you could get some better ones for the same money. The front grill and light surrounds are £39.95 on eBay, you could buy a spare set and get them sprayed black for aboout £100.00, or even have a go yourself for the price of some wet and dry and some Halfords cans. The snorkel can be bought on eBay for about £150.00 to £200.00, you can black out the windows for a few hundred pounds, then there is the inside.......

Aside from the words, "twisted", I can't see a million miles of difference from mine and I didn't have to pay a twisted prices, having said that, I'd love a snorkle, but just cant justify the people laughing at me because the most off roading I've done is my childrens school playing fields.

If you get a standard Defender, you can spec the hell out of it ...... biggrin
