    Defender Replacement Grill

    After a few less-than-careful off road forays including many the branch being shoved into it, the radiator grill is starting to look, um, less than pristine and I am wondering what you lot have replaced your stock grills with?

    I am looking for something to replace the black plastic original from my 2000 model TD5 110 which is a bit sturdier and maybe adds a bit of bling. Any suggestions would be great as well as pictures of what you have done!

    Cheers.

    I can't find it on their website, but Terrafirma have a grille that looks pretty impressive.



    They were one of the firms that generously sponsored last year's AULRO 10th Anniversary gathering.

    If you want a grill, you'll need a Series I/II/IIA grille.

    After the IIA, they went to plastic grilles.

    KBX have a few types. Just ordered the Java black premium for my Sumatra black 90.
    I like how the headlights are sunk into the grille/surrounds

    or $45 + freight for a stainless one on ebay

    Land Rover Defender Black Steel Grill (replace plastic) | eBay

    oops, that's the black one, the stainless one is $67

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover...ht_1431wt_1186

    or on special for $52 from Paddocks for a stainless one

    http://www.paddockspares.com/pm671-s...ial-offer.html

    ... now you've got me looking, I'm thinking I might replace mine, just to give me some space between the highmount winch and the plastic grille.
