Good spot what do you think about the paint?
I'm also thinking the white lettering on the dark one's ko2's with steels looks pretty tip top as well. Having decided long ago white lettering not for me. Quite like being indecisive for a change. (on the easily modified matters)
I'm also coming around to it ~ the black steel wheel and black tyre look a little lost in the side views without it.
Yes remember being in a meeting with PPG
No - different type of axle - so under the front cap there is usually some grease and perhaps a castle nut fixing a ball bearing, front geometry is usually different because its steerable.
Yeah I’d normally go white, but I reckon the Scottish White is more like Buttermilk Cream, so I’ll go the silver I think.
Exactly!
Well I hadn't noticed previously that there aren't dust caps all round - off to check my Defender, as I would have sworn they had them on all axle ends.It depends how the axle is constructed. - I remember from the past, - there are axles that have roller / ball bearings at the rear as well - Peugeot I remember, they have such grease caps at the rear as well. At Mitsubishi - at least my old one - with beam axles at rear - had exactly the same construction as IG to service the rear axle drive shaft and so that worked different. As I wrote - depends on construction of the axle.
The green is a solid not metallic.
I was all set for the Scottish White to keep it traditional but after seeing the Green with White roof in the video Im not so sure anymore. That's a great combo and I'm seriously thinking of going that route. Great British heritage color. Luckily I have a long wait in the US so i'll surely start seeing better pics and videos on the forums in the upcoming months.
