Hi - I recently traded in my W463a G Wagon looking for a change after having the older style and new style GWagon. I came across Europrestige in Charlotte, NC who are one of Urban's dealers in the US. Loved the look of the 110 Carpathian V8 so I purchased a couple months ago and have been busy adding some additional pieces to make it more me.... car came delivered from Europrestige with the side steps, rear spoiler, front canards and fogs, engine hood pieces, fender flares and wheels/tires.

1) Added the Cete Exhaust controller to open and close exhaust using the Traction control button - or can set as stock behavior
2) Carbon Fiber steering wheel and bits for the interior
3) Ceramic brake pads to reduce the excessive brake dust
4) GAP ID Tool to program in a bunch of different features
5) Urban Roof LED wired using CanBus reader and Skene IQ 275 relay - no holes drilled and behavior is 10% lit with DRL and then 100% lit with high beams - can over ride all with switch inside cabin. The Urban directions were so confusing, I used a combo of what the Hunter's roof pod install does plus wanted to connect using the CanM8 reader. I also have a Hunter's roof pod intact if anyone wants it (just need to pay for shipping)
6) Reverse lights added in the rear section.

Car has been awesome to drive and fun to upgrade!! Only thing I'm still trying to figure out is why the parking sensors go off when there is nothing around me!!! Thats the only thing that just seems to have a mind of its own!!!!

 

Welcome and congrats! Great choice btw!

 

Welcome, awesome looking machine!
Love the V8.

 

Well done!!!!!!!! Congrats

 

Great Looking CE! Congratulations! By the way, how do you think it rides verus the Gwagen. I personally think it rides much better than the Gwagen both on road and off road. Thoughts?

 

Does anyone know if Urban sells those steering wheels ?
That looks awesome.

 

I agree...the Defender rides way better than the 2017 I had, and marginally better than the 2020 new version as well. The biggest difference is smoothness on the highway and not feeling like you are gonna lose it when you are accelerating hard!!!

 

I got it from Hunter Prestige along with a bunch of other CF interior parts. You gotta take the insides of the steering wheel and move it over, so its not the easiest thing to do, but thats the way Hunter sells it...its basically the steering wheel and the CF shell and you move the other stuff over from the old steering wheel!

 

Totally concur with your assessment. I got rid of my Gwagen as it rode stiff and much like a truck does. I would get a back ache on extended trips in the Gwagen. The Defender is very comfortable all around. Enjoy your new Defender.

 

Nice. Thanks for the info.
I am checking out their website now. Looks like a lot of really cools stuff.
INTERIOR ACCESSORIES-90 – Hunters Prestige
I was looking at ordering some wheels and tires from them, till I saw they were in the UK, I am sure shipping and custom fees would be very expensive on wheels and tires.

But a steering wheel and other interior bits might not be too bad on customs fees and shipping to states.
I am looking at ordering this flat bottom, with carbon fiber, and perforated leather.
