Got rid of horrid 8 spokes!

Just thought i would show you all the difference now Betsy has
got rid of the fat fook 31 10.5 15R things on 8 spokes and is
now sitting on some lovely clean defender wheels. Also gone are
the wheel spats ( mud from under them is still visible on this
pic but they are gone and it its now washed off!)

Much more sensible

Proper bumper is on its way to get rid of ridiculous winch tray.
So what do you all think to the improvements so far?

That's a bit better. Get the grinder out to them steps and it
will look spot on. Plus i think i have a dished bonnet if you
need one.

Thank you all for the kind words!
Mr. Goinnowherefast The old ones are for sale but I haven't
listed them anywhere yet.
They are painted but tidy, Once I hose off some road dirt they
will be looking nice. Tyres have loads of tread but there are a
couple of minor sidewall cracks on one or two of them. Feel free
to make an offer, I am in Darlington and ideally would like them
collected.
Mick I am very interested in a dished bonnet. Would you be kind
enough to specify colour, condition and if it has any mounting
bits on it?
Thank you kindly.
Looking forward to fitting that new front bumper!!
