Thought the same

Seat looks good, but I can't help but think you're making this too clean. A Defender isn't right if it doesn't have bog standard universal fit seat covers lol.

I think a clean defender is pretty cool. I've said before, I always see them on the transporters as they come into my workplace and look fantastic clean and dentless.

That would involve Steve actually taking it off road, and not leaving it on his driveway whilst some paint dries instead.

Lovely job mate. You gonna clean that interior up?

I know everyone gives you grief for it basically being a Chelsea tractor type vehicle now, but I think a clean defender is nice.
