i may just do that, I could probably make an exact replica but will need the sheet cut and folded on a big bender to make it nice
Saves welding then

I'll see how I get on with the place I use, they do me allot of favours
the only but I can't bend is the two or three 90deg bends which run the width of the car. Always my luck haha, to top of yesterday rubbish day I realised I'm going to have to spend from 1-2k to make it LEZ compliant as in literally two minute walk from the LEZ
.DOH 
. I can't believe you didn't realise this earlier if you live that close to the lez 
So how much is a dpf etc gonna cost ? We run a few older trucks that are not lez compliant , we just pay the charge for the few times a year that they venture down there .
The rest of us with euro 5 trucks , do have the pleasure of visiting London village quite often

The LEZ is the reason my son sold the Surf he had a few years ago, loved the vehicle, great bit of kit, but he flys from Heathrow quite often for work, so couldn't use it. It also influenced his choice of Landy, that's why he went for a gas powered V8.
His company used to use a meet & greet service for parking, apparently you should have seen the guys face being given the keys to a 25 year old Defender.

I couldn't believe it, I've started a huge debate on a defender page on fAcebook and a friends getting me a quote from emonix to see how much exhaust will cost, I'll make it a stack type If I do it. Also never realised because all our cars are newer so don't have the worry. It's only when my friend mentioned about his new truck that I remembered. I think it'll cost like £1500 for the stack I do hope it's much cheaper however lol.

So what actually is involved to make your Defender compliant Kim ?

Without creating pages and pages of debate, if my car had a rear row of seats it could be classed as an estate. Can even be done in a van but in a pickup it's a bit hard to get around it. My only two options I can see are, fitting the newer td5 engine and having it certified and will probably need an engineers report to show it as well. Or buying a dmf exhaust and making it an exhaust stack. The latter is obviously easier but both are very expensive and dmf can block.

Have you considered converting it to V8 & a gas conversion, this would get round it & about the same price. The engines are cheap enough & you might find the gas tanks etc second hand. As I said before, this was why my boy sold the Surf, some are ok, some are not, just depends how its registered on import, either as a utility vehicle or a 4x4 estate.
