Thank you for posting this!! I got my wood grain side panel/hockey sticks in today for my defender. I went to take off the original ones (thinking it would be fairly easy) when the entire panel came off! I wasn’t expecting that 😅 Now I can go back and carefully do it properly, knowing it is suppose to come off that way. THANK YOU!!!! Love your videos.

Having replaced the center console with the wood grain bits, this video reminds how unnecessarily difficult this was - you did well, I broke far more clips. There is no reason why those hockey sticks should be this difficult! What’s also interesting, with the side panel/hockey sticks off you can also see it would be possible to upgrade your center console to a cooler too.

Another great video Simon. Spec the “woodalike” finishers on your Defender and LR wants £355 for 5 pieces of suspiciously cheap looking injection moulded plastic, probably not even made from recycled coffee cups, cola bottles or fishing nets. Even Mercedes, the Koreans and Chinese make more convincing fake wood that at least looks oiled/ varnished. My 1st RRS came with “cherrywood” hockey sticks that had razor sharp edges that cut your finger tips - at least no chance of splinters! The LR Defender woodalike must cost less than £1 a piece to make so Simon if you can get the in at around £50 a set then you’ll still,be making a bit of profit! I think I’ll give them a miss though until some real bits of tree become available (and probably still cost less than £355 a set…..). LR rips off the customers again.

Thank you Simon! I've had my new Defender for 2 weeks and I've spent untold hours getting caught up on your videos! I would love to see these trim pieces in real carbon fiber(e). I also just bought a dash cam and am looking forward to the release of the loom. (I just want it to only power on/off with the ignition ). So many cool mods! Thank you again!!

Would LOVE a burl wood look for my Defender!!

Hi Simon another great video, I love the straight gran walnut in my disco 4 , but nice wood does enhance the interior. Regards mark

How about Suede

Hi 👋 this is a nice 👍 beautiful 🤩 accessory for upgrade to your choice of 👀 nice 😊. Thanks 🙏 🙏

Another superb and informative video - thanks. But I don't thing the walnut finish looks very good on your car with the colour of the seats you have. That finish would go better with different seat colours. Though I think the "black oak" finish would look good in your car as it will not clash with the seat colour.

Great video, can you link the parts? I’m definitely buying them. Thank you!

Hello Simon…colours…how about brushed silver, the newly popular Arun gold (Porsche wheels), sea washed oak..so grey/white beachfront sort of colour, desert sand finish…..hard to judge what will sell in sufficient numbers but carbon fibre seems to be ever popular! Go careful with the marketing!!😬😀😀

Good video as always.

Hi Simon. Mind giving me the part numbers for the wooden handlebars and “hockey sticks”? Thanks. Looking to lighten up the V8’s lackluster black interior.

What about changing the magnesium color dash part similar to what you did the the steering wheel to match the x steering wheel from white to black

I have the Rough Cut Walnut on my S; but it was a $600 option when I ordered it.

Burl walnut is beautiful or maybe tiger strip maple.

Is there a way to change the white sections on the dash?

Nice video!

Nothing like stroking the wood! 😉😂😂

Is there anything new coming for the Freelander 2?

How about some bling for the blingsters; get some diamond encrusted going on

👍👍🍸👍

Boom!!

Piano black for the all black fans?

Stroke the wood 🤣

Are you F**king serious? I just paid for $600 for opted textured molded plastic?! ugh wtf JLR shame on you...

Looks like more trouble that it might be worth!

Sorry but they look like the grip on a kids toy gun, plastic tat . Nothing to do with wood, they're just brown plastic to replace black plastic.
