Despite spending years completely failing to understand the appeal of chequer plate on Defenders we’ve finally succumbed !

In part it’s because the wings that were replaced a few years ago have holes in them for mounting the chequer plate, as does the back body. There are also practical reasons as we suspect that chequer plate on the wings will give us another option for accessing the roof.

The roll cage arrived a couple of weeks ago and I should be fitting it this weekend if all goes according to plan.
