Nice work, I am looking at doing similar trim work but adding 'old man walnut' 😆 since I think my Defender will come with just plain black. I think the fake wood classes it up a bit. Anyway, how were the hockey sticks to install? Unbolting the seats I see in the one of the pics? I've watched the install video done by powerfulukltd but it gets tricky with the hockey sticks. Thanks.

Bumping this up as I’m about to sell my 110 and was hoping for some feedback.

As a general question, thoughts/opinions on whether there be more interest in the OEM trim pieces (walnut finishers) or Vulkan carbon fibre pieces if I were to list either set for sale?

Like the walnut, don't care for the C.F. personally.

I'd sell the carbon fiber separately if you don't mind removing. No one is going to pay you anything additional for them and I don't think it makes the car more attractive to a buyer as this all comes down to taste.

I agree with Yulong. The CF won’t get anybody to buy your truck who wouldn’t have anyway; it WILL possibly chase someone off who doesn’t want the faux lightweight racing look inside their 6000# Land Rover, and you will actually get money for them if sold separately (I know, crazy, right? But somebody will undoubtedly buy them from you.) Pull ‘em.

That’s pretty cool. Way out of my price range, but cool nonetheless.

The wood is actually real. Not sure why everyone keeps saying it's fake... just to se the record straight.

I think most pictures of them don't really do the wood justice. They look like muted sad fake plastic effigies in most images. Or I guess the viewer assumes they are fake.

Saw them once first hand. I'm not a big fan but they look way better than those plastic looking carbon fiber ones. I just can't disassociate them and their look from the horrendously naff stick-on Chinese spoilers and body-kits that Urban and Vulkan flog. Kits for which there is a seemingly huge fanbase. They'll sell fast I wager.
